RLOGIN(1) BSD General Commands Manual RLOGIN(1)
NAME
rlogin -- remote login
SYNOPSIS
rlogin [-8ELd] [-e char] [-k realm] [-l username] host
rlogin [-8ELd] [-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:
-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 communi-cation communication
cation 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.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variable is utilized by rlogin:
