SYNOPSIS

[-p port]

rlogin
[-468Ed]
[-e char]

username@host
DESCRIPTION
rlogin
starts a terminal session on a remote host
host.
rlogin
first attempts to use the standard Berkeley
rhosts
authorization mechanism.
The options are as follows:
- -4
-
Use IPv4 addresses only.
- -6
-
Use IPv6 addresses only.
- -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.
- -d
-
The
-d
option turns on socket debugging (see
setsockopt(2))
on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.
- -e char
-
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.
- -l username
-
the
-l
option specifies an alternate
username
for the remote login.
If this option is not specified, your local username will be used.
- -p port
-
Uses the given
port
instead of the one assigned to the service
``login''.
May be given either as symbolic name or as number.
A line of the form
``escape char<.blm Pp. >''
disconnects from the remote host.
Similarly, the line
``escape char<.blm Pp^Z >''
will suspend the
rlogin
session, and
``escape char<.blm Pp<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.
