.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 8
|
|
Specifies an 8-bit data path. This causes an attempt to
|
|
negotiate the
|
|
.Dv TELNET BINARY
|
|
option on both input and output.
|
|
.It Fl E
|
|
Stops any character from being recognized as an escape character.
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
If Kerberos V5 authentication is being used, the
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
option allows the local credentials to be forwarded
|
|
to the remote system, including any credentials that
|
|
have already been forwarded into the local environment.
|
|
.It Fl K
|
|
Specifies no automatic login to the remote system.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Specifies an 8-bit data path on output. This causes the
|
|
BINARY option to be negotiated on output.
|
|
.It Fl S Ar tos
|
|
Sets the IP type-of-service (TOS) option for the telnet
|
|
connection to the value
|
|
.Ar tos,
|
|
which can be a numeric TOS value
|
|
or, on systems that support it, a symbolic
|
|
TOS name found in the /etc/iptos file.
|
|
.It Fl X Ar atype
|
|
Disables the
|
|
.Ar atype
|
|
type of authentication.
|
|
.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 c
|
|
Disables the reading of the user's
|
|
.Pa \&.telnetrc
|
|
file. (See the
|
|
.Ic toggle skiprc
|
|
command on this man page.)
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Sets the initial value of the
|
|
.Ic debug
|
|
toggle to
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
.It Fl e Ar escape char
|
|
Sets the initial
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Nm telnet
|
|
escape character to
|
|
.Ar escape char.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar escape char
|
|
is omitted, then
|
|
there will be no escape character.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
If Kerberos V5 authentication is being used, the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option allows the local credentials to be forwarded to the remote system.
|
|
.ne 1i
|
|
.It Fl k Ar realm
|
|
If Kerberos authentication is being used, the
|
|
.Fl k
|
|
option requests that telnet obtain tickets for the remote host in
|
|
realm realm instead of the remote host's realm, as determined
|
|
by
|
|
.Xr krb_realmofhost 3 .
|
|
.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 n Ar tracefile
|
|
Opens
|
|
.Ar tracefile
|
|
for recording trace information.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Ic set tracefile
|
|
command below.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Specifies a user interface similar to
|
|
.Xr rlogin 1 .
|
|
In this
|
|
mode, the escape character is set to the tilde (~) character,
|
|
unless modified by the -e option.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Turns on encryption of the data stream if possible. This
|
|
option is not available outside of the United States and
|
|
Canada.
|
|
.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
|
|
When in rlogin mode, a line of the form ~. disconnects from the
|
|
remote host; ~ is the telnet escape character.
|
|
Similarly, the line ~^Z suspends the telnet session.
|
|
The line ~^] escapes to the normal telnet escape prompt.
|
|
.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 ,
|
|
.Ic environ ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic display
|
|
commands).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "mode type"
|
|
.It Ic auth Ar argument ...
|
|
The auth command manipulates the information sent through the
|

|
|
.It Ic encrypt Ar argument ...
|
|
The encrypt command manipulates the information sent through the
|
|
.Dv TELNET ENCRYPT
|
|
option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: Because of export controls, the
|
|
.Dv TELNET ENCRYPT
|
|
option is not supported outside of the United States and Canada.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Valid arguments for the encrypt command are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ar

|
This is the same as the
|
|
.Ic encrypt stop output
|
|
command.
|
|
.It Ic start Ic [input|output]
|
|
Attempts to start encryption. If you omit
|
|
.Ic input
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic output,
|
|
both input and output are enabled. To

|
commands.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Ic environ Ar arguments...
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic environ
|
|
command is used to manipulate the
|
|
the variables that my be sent through the
|
|
.Dv TELNET ENVIRON
|
|
option.
|
|
The initial set of variables is taken from the users
|
|
environment, with only the
|
|
.Ev DISPLAY
|
|
and
|
|
.Ev PRINTER
|
|
variables being exported by default.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ev USER
|
|
variable is also exported if the
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
options are used.
|
|
.br
|
|
Valid arguments for the
|
|
.Ic environ
|
|
command are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Ic define Ar variable value
|
|
Define the variable
|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
to have a value of
|
|
.Ar value.
|
|
Any variables defined by this command are automatically exported.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
may be enclosed in single or double quotes so
|
|
that tabs and spaces may be included.
|
|

|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
to be exported to the remote side.
|
|
.It Ic unexport Ar variable
|
|
Mark the variable
|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
to not be exported unless
|
|
explicitly asked for by the remote side.
|
|
.It Ic list
|
|
List the current set of environment variables.
|
|
Those marked with a
|
|
.Cm *

other variables will only be sent if explicitly requested.
|
|
.It Ic \&?
|
|
Prints out help information for the
|
|
.Ic environ
|
|
command.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Ic logout
|
|
Sends the
|
|
.Dv TELNET LOGOUT
|
|
option to the remote side.
|
|
This command is similar to a
|
|
.Ic close
|
|
command; however, if the remote side does not support the
|
|
.Dv LOGOUT
|
|
option, nothing happens.
|
|
If, however, the remote side does support the
|
|
.Dv LOGOUT
|
|
option, this command should cause the remote side to close the
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
connection.
|
|
If the remote side also supports the concept of
|
|
suspending a user's session for later reattachment,
|
|
the logout argument indicates that you
|
|
should terminate the session immediately.
|
|
.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.

|
|
.Dv LINEMODE
|
|
option be enabled.
|
|
.It Ic edit Pq Ic \-edit
|
|
Attempt to enable (disable) the
|
|
.Dv EDIT
|
|
mode of the
|
|

|
|
This requires that the
|
|
.Dv LINEMODE
|
|
option be enabled.
|
|
.It Ic \&?
|
|
Prints out help information for the
|

|
|
.Oo Op Fl l
|
|
.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 preceded by a minus sign,
|
|
the initial option negotiation is done.
|
|
After establishing a connection, the file
|
|
.Pa \&.telnetrc
|
|
in the
|
|
users home directory is opened. Lines beginning with a # are
|
|
comment lines. Blank lines are ignored. Lines that begin
|
|
without white space 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 white space 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

|
.Dv TRUE ,
|
|
then when the
|
|
.Ic ao ,
|

.Ic quit
|
|
characters are recognized (and transformed into
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|

|
|
that it has processed those
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
sequences.

.It Ic autologin
|
|
If the remote side supports the
|
|
.Dv TELNET AUTHENTICATION
|
|
option
|
|

.Ic autosynch
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic localchars
|
|
are both
|
|
.Dv TRUE ,
|
|
then when either the

|
.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

|
typed input until both of the
|
|
.Tn TELNET
|
|
sequences have been read and acted upon.
|
|
The initial value of this toggle is

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 FALSE .
