SYNOPSIS
rlogin
[-

[-
e char
]
[-
l username
]
host
DESCRIPTION
Rlogin
starts a terminal session on a remote host
host
The standard Berkeley
rhosts
authorization mechanism is used.
The options are as follows:
- -8
-
The
-8
option allows an eight-bit input data path at all times; otherwise
parity bits are stripped except when the remote side's stop and start
characters are other than
^S/^Q .
- -E
-
The
-E
option stops any character from being recognized as an escape character.
When used with the
-8
option, this provides a completely transparent connection.
- -L
-
The
-L
option allows the rlogin session to be run in ``litout'' (see
tty(4))
mode.
- -d
-
The
-d
option turns on socket debugging (see
setsockopt(2))
on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.
- -e
-
The
-e
option allows user specification of the escape character, which is
``~'' by default.
This specification may be as a literal character, or as an octal
value in the form \nnn.
A line of the form ``<escape char>.'' disconnects from the remote host.
Similarly, the line ``<escape char>^Z'' will suspend the
rlogin
session, and ``<escape char><delayed-suspend char>'' suspends the
send portion of the rlogin, but allows output from the remote system.
By default, the tilde (``~'') character is the escape character, and
normally control-Y (``^Y'') is the delayed-suspend character.
All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays)
the
rlogin
is transparent.
Flow control via ^S/^Q and flushing of input and output on interrupts
are handled properly.
