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 +.Dv TELNET AUTHENTICATE +option.
