man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches. Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm remote
|
|
.Nd remote host description file
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The systems known by
|
|
.Xr tip 1
|
|
and their attributes are stored in an
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
file which
|
|
is structured somewhat like the
|
|
.Xr termcap 5
|
|
file. Each line in the file provides a description for a single
|
|
.Em system .
|
|
Fields are separated by a colon (``:'').
|
|
Lines ending in a \e character with an immediately following newline are
|
|
continued on the next line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first entry is the name(s) of the host system. If there is more
|
|
than one name for a system, the names are separated by vertical bars.
|
|
After the name of the system comes the fields of the description. A
|
|
field name followed by an `=' sign indicates a string value follows. A field
|
|
name followed by a `#' sign indicates a following numeric value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Entries named ``tip*'' and ``cu*''
|
|
are used as default entries by
|
|
.Xr tip 1 ,
|
|
and the
|
|
.Xr cu 1
|
|
interface to
|
|
.Nm tip ,
|
|
as follows. When
|
|
.Nm tip
|
|
is invoked with only a phone number, it looks for an entry
|
|
of the form ``tip300'', where 300 is the baud rate with
|
|
which the connection is to be made. When the
|
|
.Nm cu
|
|
interface is used, entries of the form ``cu300'' are used.
|
|
.Sh CAPABILITIES
|
|
Capabilities are either strings (str), numbers (num), or boolean
|
|
flags (bool). A string capability is specified by
|
|
.Em capability Ns Ar = Ns Em value ;
|
|
for example, ``dv=/dev/harris''. A numeric capability is specified by
|
|
.Em capability Ns Ar # Ns Em value ;
|
|
for example, ``xa#99''. A boolean capability is specified by simply listing
|
|
the capability.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm \&at
|
|
(str)
|
|
Auto call unit type.
|
|
.It Cm \&br
|
|
(num)
|
|
The baud rate used in establishing
|
|
a connection to the remote host.
|
|
This is a decimal number.
|
|
The default baud rate is 300 baud.
|
|
.It Cm \&cm
|
|
(str)
|
|
An initial connection message to be sent
|
|
to the remote host. For example, if a
|
|
host is reached through port selector, this
|
|
might be set to the appropriate sequence
|
|
required to switch to the host.
|
|
.It Cm \&cu
|
|
(str)
|
|
Call unit if making a phone call.
|
|
Default is the same as the `dv' field.
|
|
.It Cm \&di
|
|
(str)
|
|
Disconnect message sent to the host when a
|
|
disconnect is requested by the user.
|
|
.It Cm \&du
|
|
(bool)
|
|
This host is on a dial-up line.
|
|
.It Cm \&dv
|
|
(str)
|
|
.Tn UNIX
|
|
device(s) to open to establish a connection.
|
|
If this file refers to a terminal line,
|
|
.Xr tip 1
|
|
attempts to perform an exclusive open on the device to insure only
|
|
one user at a time has access to the port.
|
|
.It Cm \&el
|
|
(str)
|
|
Characters marking an end-of-line.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
`~' escapes are only
|
|
recognized by
|
|
.Nm tip
|
|
after one of the characters in `el',
|
|
or after a carriage-return.
|
|
.It Cm \&fs
|
|
(str)
|
|
Frame size for transfers.
|
|
The default frame size is equal to
|
|
.Dv BUFSIZ .
|
|
.It Cm \&hd
|
|
(bool)
|
|
The host uses half-duplex communication, local
|
|
echo should be performed.
|
|
.It Cm \&ie
|
|
(str)
|
|
Input end-of-file marks.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.It Cm \&oe
|
|
(str)
|
|
Output end-of-file string.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm tip
|
|
is transferring a file, this
|
|
string is sent at end-of-file.
|
|
.It Cm \&pa
|
|
(str)
|
|
The type of parity to use when sending data
|
|
to the host. This may be one of ``even'',
|
|
``odd'', ``none'', ``zero'' (always set bit 8 to zero),
|
|
``one'' (always set bit 8 to 1). The default
|
|
is even parity.
|
|
.It Cm \&pn
|
|
(str)
|
|
Telephone number(s) for this host.
|
|
If the telephone number field contains
|
|
an @ sign,
|
|
.Nm tip
|
|
searches the file
|
|
.Pa /etc/phones
|
|
file for a list of telephone numbers;
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr phones 5 . )
|
|
.It Cm \&tc
|
|
(str)
|
|
Indicates that the list of capabilities is continued
|
|
in the named description. This is used
|
|
primarily to share common capability information.
