.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
command
|
|
is used to communicate with another host using the
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
protocol.
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
is invoked without the
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
argument, it enters command mode,
|
|
indicated by its prompt
|
|
.Pq Nm telnet\&> .
|
|
In this mode, it accepts and executes the commands listed below.
|
|
If it is invoked with arguments, it performs an
|
|
.Ic open
|
|
command with those arguments.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Sets the initial value of the
|
|
.Ic debug
|
|
toggle to
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Attempt automatic login.
|
|
Currently, this sends the user name via the
|
|
.Ev USER
|
|
variable
|
|
of the
|
|
.Ev ENVIRON
|
|
option if supported by the remote system.
|
|
The name used is that of the current user as returned by
|
|
.Xr getlogin 2
|
|
if it agrees with the current user ID,
|
|
otherwise it is the name associated with the user ID.
|
|
.It Fl n Ar tracefile
|
|
Opens
|
|
.Ar tracefile
|
|
for recording trace information.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Ic set tracefile
|
|
command below.
|
|
.It Fl l Ar user
|
|
When connecting to the remote system, if the remote system
|
|
understands the
|
|
.Ev ENVIRON
|
|
option, then
|
|
.Ar user
|
|
will be sent to the remote system as the value for the variable USER.
|
|
This option implies the
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
option.
|
|
This option may also be used with the
|
|
.Ic open
|
|
command.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar escape char
|
|
Sets the initial
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
escape character to
|
|
.Ar escape char.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar escape char
|
|
is ommitted, then
|
|
there will be no escape character.
|
|
.It Ar host
|
|
Indicates the official name, an alias, or the Internet address
|
|
of a remote host.
|
|
.It Ar port
|
|
Indicates a port number (address of an application). If a number is
|
|
not specified, the default
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
port is used.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once a connection has been opened,
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
will attempt to enable the
|
|
.Dv TELNET LINEMODE
|
|
option.
|
|
If this fails, then
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
will revert to one of two input modes:
|
|
either \*(Lqcharacter at a time\*(Rq
|
|
or \*(Lqold line by line\*(Rq
|
|
depending on what the remote system supports.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Dv LINEMODE
|
|
is enabled, character processing is done on the
|
|
local system, under the control of the remote system. When input
|
|
editing or character echoing is to be disabled, the remote system
|
|
will relay that information. The remote system will also relay
|
|
changes to any special characters that happen on the remote
|
|
system, so that they can take effect on the local system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In \*(Lqcharacter at a time\*(Rq mode, most
|
|
text typed is immediately sent to the remote host for processing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In \*(Lqold line by line\*(Rq mode, all text is echoed locally,
|
|
and (normally) only completed lines are sent to the remote host.
|
|
The \*(Lqlocal echo character\*(Rq (initially \*(Lq^E\*(Rq) may be used
|
|
to turn off and on the local echo
|
|
(this would mostly be used to enter passwords
|
|
without the password being echoed).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv LINEMODE
|
|
option is enabled, or if the
|
|
.Ic localchars
|
|
toggle is
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
(the default for \*(Lqold line by line\*(Lq; see below),
|
|
the user's
|
|
.Ic quit ,
|
|
.Ic intr ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic flush
|
|
characters are trapped locally, and sent as
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
protocol sequences to the remote side.
|
|
If
|
|
.Dv LINEMODE
|
|
has ever been enabled, then the user's
|
|
.Ic susp
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic eof
|
|
are also sent as
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
protocol sequences,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic quit
|
|
is sent as a
|
|
.Dv TELNET ABORT
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Dv BREAK
|
|
There are options (see
|
|
.Ic toggle
|
|
.Ic autoflush
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic toggle
|
|
.Ic autosynch
|
|
below)
|
|
which cause this action to flush subsequent output to the terminal
|
|
(until the remote host acknowledges the
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
sequence) and flush previous terminal input
|
|
(in the case of
|
|
.Ic quit
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic intr ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
While connected to a remote host,
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
command mode may be entered by typing the
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
\*(Lqescape character\*(Rq (initially \*(Lq^]\*(Rq).
|
|
When in command mode, the normal terminal editing conventions are available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
commands are available.
|
|
Only enough of each command to uniquely identify it need be typed
|
|
(this is also true for arguments to the
|
|
.Ic mode ,
|
|
.Ic set ,
|
|
.Ic toggle ,
|
|
.Ic unset ,
|
|
.Ic slc ,
|

|
|
.It Ic mode Ar type
|
|
.Ar Type
|
|
is one of several options, depending on the state of the
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
session.
|
|
The remote host is asked for permission to go into the requested mode.
|
|
If the remote host is capable of entering that mode, the requested
|
|
mode will be entered.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ar

.Dv LINEMODE
|
|
option, then attempt to enter \*(Lqold-line-by-line\*(Lq mode.
|
|
.It Ic isig Pq Ic \-isig
|
|
Attempt to enable (disable) the
|
|
.Dv TRAPSIG

option be enabled.
|
|
.It Ic \&?
|
|
Prints out help information for the
|
|
.Ic mode
|

|
|
.Ar user
|
|
.Oc Ns Oo Fl
|
|
.Ar port Oc
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Open a connection to the named host.
|
|
If no port number
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
will attempt to contact a
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
server at the default port.
|
|
The host specification may be either a host name (see
|
|
.Xr hosts 5 )
|
|
or an Internet address specified in the \*(Lqdot notation\*(Rq (see
|
|
.Xr inet 3 ) .
|
|
The
|
|
.Op Fl l
|
|
option may be used to specify the user name
|
|
to be passed to the remote system via the
|
|
.Ev ENVIRON
|
|
option.
|
|
When connecting to a non-standard port,
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
omits any automatic initiation of
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
options. When the port number is preceeded by a minus sign,
|
|
the inital option negotiation is done.
|
|
After establishing a connection, the file
|
|
.Pa \&.telnetrc
|
|
in the
|
|
users home directory is opened. Lines begining with a # are
|
|
comment lines. Blank lines are ignored. Lines that begin
|
|
without whitespace are the start of a machine entry. The
|
|
first thing on the line is the name of the machine that is
|
|
being connected to. The rest of the line, and successive
|
|
lines that begin with whitespace are assumed to be
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
commands and are processed as if they had been typed
|
|
in manually to the
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
command prompt.
|
|
.It Ic quit
|
|
Close any open
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
session and exit
|
|
.Nm telnet .
|
|
An end of file (in command mode) will also close a session and exit.
|
|
.It Ic send Ar arguments
|
|
Sends one or more special character sequences to the remote host.
|
|
The following are the arguments which may be specified
|
|
(more than one argument may be specified at a time):

.It Ic getstatus
|
|
If the remote side supports the
|
|
.Dv TELNET STATUS
|
|
command,
|
|
.Ic getstatus

|
.Ic send
|
|
command.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Ic set Ar argument value
|
|
.It Ic unset Ar argument value
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic set
|
|
command will set any one of a number of
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
variables to a specific value or to
|
|
.Dv TRUE .
|
|
The special value
|
|
.Ic off
|
|
turns off the function associated with
|
|
the variable, this is equivalent to using the
|
|
.Ic unset
|
|
command.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic unset
|
|
command will disable or set to
|
|

any of the specified functions.
|
|
The values of variables may be interrogated with the
|
|
.Ic display
|
|
command.
|
|
The variables which may be set or unset, but not toggled, are
|
|
listed here. In addition, any of the variables for the
|
|
.Ic toggle
|
|
command may be explicitly set or unset using
|
|
the
|
|
.Ic set
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic unset
|
|
commands.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width escape
|
|
.It Ic echo
|
|
This is the value (initially \*(Lq^E\*(Rq) which, when in
|
|
\*(Lqline by line\*(Rq mode, toggles between doing local echoing
|
|
of entered characters (for normal processing), and suppressing
|
|
echoing of entered characters (for entering, say, a password).
|
|
.It Ic eof
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
is operating in
|
|
.Dv LINEMODE
|
|
or \*(Lqold line by line\*(Rq mode, entering this character
|
|
as the first character on a line will cause this character to be
|
|
sent to the remote system.
|
|
The initial value of the eof character is taken to be the terminal's
|
|
.Ic eof
|
|
character.
|
|
.It Ic erase
|
|
If

|
|
.Dv TELNET EC
|
|
sequence (see
|
|
.Ic send
|
|
.Ic ec
|
|
above)
|
|
is sent to the remote system.
|
|
The initial value for the erase character is taken to be
|
|
the terminal's
|
|
.Ic erase
|
|
character.
|
|
.It Ic escape
|
|
This is the

.Ic quit
|
|
characters are recognized (and transformed into
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
sequences; see
|
|
.Ic set
|
|
above for details),
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
refuses to display any data on the user's terminal
|
|
until the remote system acknowledges (via a
|
|
.Dv TELNET TIMING MARK
|
|
option)
|
|
that it has processed those
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
sequences.
|
|
The initial value for this toggle is
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
if the terminal user had not
|

If
|
|
.Ic autosynch
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic localchars
|
|
are both
|
|
.Dv TRUE ,
|
|
then when either the
|
|
.Ic intr
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic quit
|
|
characters is typed (see
|
|
.Ic set
|
|
above for descriptions of the
|
|
.Ic intr
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic quit
|
|
characters), the resulting
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
sequence sent is followed by the
|
|
.Dv TELNET SYNCH
|
|
sequence.
|
|
This procedure
|
|
.Ic should
|
|
cause the remote system to begin throwing away all previously
|

.Dv FALSE .
|
|
.It Ic crmod
|
|
Toggle carriage return mode.
|
|
When this mode is enabled, most carriage return characters received from
|
|
the remote host will be mapped into a carriage return followed by
|
|
a line feed.
|
|
This mode does not affect those characters typed by the user, only
|
|
those received from the remote host.
|
|
This mode is not very useful unless the remote host
|
|
only sends carriage return, but never line feed.
|
|
The initial value for this toggle is

|
.Dv LINEMODE
|
|
option is enabled, the value of
|
|
.Ic localchars
|
|
is ignored, and assumed to always be
|
|
.Dv TRUE .
|
|
If
|
|
.Dv LINEMODE
|

|
|
toggle is enabled, if
|
|
.Ic prettydump
|
|
is enabled the output from the
|
|
.Ic netdata
|
|
command will be formated in a more user readable format.
|
|
Spaces are put between each character in the output, and the
