.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Bf -symbolic
|
||
|
|
This interface is obsoleted by krcmd(3).
|
||
|
|
It is available from the compatibility library, libcompat.
|
||
|
|
.Ef
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn rexec
|
||
|
|
function
|
||
|
|
looks up the host
|
||
|
|
.Fa *ahost
|
||
|
|
using
|
||
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname 3 ,
|
||
|
|
returning \-1 if the host does not exist.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise
|
||
|
|
.Fa *ahost
|
||
|
|
is set to the standard name of the host.
|
||
|
|
If a username and password are both specified, then these
|
||
|
|
are used to authenticate to the foreign host; otherwise
|
||
|
|
the environment and then the user's
|
||
|
|
.Pa .netrc
|
||
|
|
file in his
|
||
|
|
home directory are searched for appropriate information.
|
||
|
|
If all this fails, the user is prompted for the information.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The port
|
||
|
|
.Fa inport
|
||
|
|
specifies which well-known
|
||
|
|
.Tn DARPA
|
||
|
|
Internet port to use for
|
||
|
|
the connection; the call
|
||
|
|
.Ql getservbyname(\\*qexec\\*q, \\*qtcp\\*q)
|
||
|
|
(see
|
||
|
|
.Xr getservent 3 )
|
||
|
|
will return a pointer to a structure, which contains the
|
||
|
|
necessary port.
|
||
|
|
The protocol for connection is described in detail in
|
||
|
|
.Xr rexecd 8 .
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
If the connection succeeds,
|
||
|
|
a socket in the Internet domain of type
|
||
|
|
.Dv SOCK_STREAM
|
||
|
|
is returned to
|
||
|
|
the caller, and given to the remote command as
|
||
|
|
.Em stdin
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Em stdout .
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa fd2p
|
||
|
|
is non-zero, then an auxiliary channel to a control
|
||
|
|
process will be setup, and a descriptor for it will be placed
|
||
|
|
in
|
||
|
|
.Fa *fd2p .
|
||
|
|
The control process will return diagnostic
|
||
|
|
output from the command (unit 2) on this channel, and will also
|
||
|
|
accept bytes on this channel as being
|
||
|
|
.Tn UNIX
|
||
|
|
signal numbers, to be
|
||
|
|
forwarded to the process group of the command. The diagnostic
|
||
|
|
information returned does not include remote authorization failure,
|
||
|
|
as the secondary connection is set up after authorization has been
|
||
|
|
verified.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa fd2p
|
||
|
|
is 0, then the
|
||
|
|
.Em stderr
|
||
|
|
(unit 2 of the remote
|
||
|
|
command) will be made the same as the
|
||
|
|
.Em stdout
|
||
|
|
and no
|
||
|
|
provision is made for sending arbitrary signals to the remote process,
|
||
|
|
although you may be able to get its attention by using out-of-band data.
