telnet.1 (2010 09)

t
telnet(1) telnet(1)
escape This is the telnet escape character (initially
ˆ]) that causes entry into
telnet command mode (when connected to a remote system).
interrupt
If telnet is in localchars mode (see toggle localchars
below)
and the interrupt character is typed, a TELNET IP sequence (see
send ip
above) is sent to the remote host. The initial value for the interrupt character
is taken to be the terminal’s
intr character.
quit If telnet is in localchars mode (see
toggle localchars below)
and the
quit character is typed, a TELNET BRK sequence (see
send brk
above) is sent to the remote host. The initial value for the quit character is
taken to be the terminal’s
quit character.
flushoutput
If telnet is in localchars mode (see
toggle localchars below)
and the
flushoutput character is typed, a TELNET AO sequence (see
send ao above) is sent to the remote host. The initial value for the flush
character is ˆO.
erase If telnet is in localchars mode (see
toggle localchars below),
and if
telnet is operating in character-at-a-time mode, then when this char-
acter is typed, a TELNET EC sequence (see send ec above) is sent to the
remote system. The initial value for the erase character is taken to be the
terminal’s erase character.
kill If telnet is in localchars mode (see toggle localchars below),
and if telnet is operating in character-at-a-time mode, then when this char-
acter is typed, a TELNET EL sequence (see send el above) is sent to the
remote system. The initial value for the kill character is taken to be the
terminal’s kill character.
eof If telnet is operating in line-by-line mode, entering this character as the
first character on a line causes this character to be sent to the remote system.
The initial value of the eof character is taken to be the terminal’s
eof char-
acter.
toggle arguments ...
Toggle (between TRUE and FALSE ) various flags that control how
telnet responds to
events. More than one argument can be specified. The state of these flags can be shown
by using the
display command. Valid arguments are:
localchars
If TRUE, the flush, interrupt, quit, erase, and kill characters (see
set above) are recognized locally, and transformed into appropriate TELNET
control sequences (respectively ao
, ip, brk, ec, and el; see send above).
The initial value for this toggle is
TRUE in line-by-line mode, and FALSE in
character-at-a-time mode.
autoflush
If autoflush and localchars are both TRUE, whenever the ao, intr,
or quit characters are recognized (and transformed into TELNET sequences
− see set above for details), telnet refuses to display any data on the
user’s terminal until the remote system acknowledges (via a TELNET Timing
Mark option) that it has processed those TELNET sequences. The initial
value for this toggle is TRUE.
autologin
This flag is available only in a secure environment based on Kerberos V5.
Enable or disable automatic login into the Kerberos realm. Using this option
yields the same results as using the -a option. The initial value for this tog-
gle is TRUE.
autosynch
If autosynch and localchars are both TRUE, when either the intr or
quit character is typed (see set above for descriptions of the intr and
quit characters), the resulting TELNET sequence sent is followed by the
TELNET SYNCH sequence. This procedure causes the remote system to begin
