9: .SH NAME
10: remote \- remote host description file
11: .SH DESCRIPTION
12: The systems known by
13: .IR tip (1C)
14: and their attributes are stored in an ASCII file which
15: is structured somewhat like the
16: .IR termcap (5)
17: file. Each line in the file provides a description for a single
18: .IR system .
19: Fields are separated by a colon (``:'').
20: Lines ending in a \e character with an immediately following newline are
21: continued on the next line.
22: .PP
23: The first entry is the name(s) of the host system. If there is more
24: than one name for a system, the names are separated by vertical bars.
25: After the name of the system comes the fields of the description. A
26: field name followed by an `=' sign indicates a string value follows. A field
27: name followed by a `#' sign indicates a following numeric value.
28: .PP
29: Entries named ``tip*'' and ``cu*''
30: are used as default entries by
31: .IR tip ,
32: and the
33: .I cu
34: interface to
35: .IR tip ,
36: as follows. When
37: .I tip
38: is invoked with only a phone number, it looks for an entry
39: of the form ``tip300'', where 300 is the baud rate with
40: which the connection is to be made. When the
41: .I cu
42: interface is used, entries of the form ``cu300'' are used.
43: .SH CAPABILITIES
44: Capabilities are either strings (str), numbers (num), or boolean
45: flags (bool). A string capability is specified by
46: .IR capability = value ;
47: e.g. ``dv=/dev/harris''. A numeric capability is specified by
48: .IR capability # value ;
49: e.g. ``xa#99''. A boolean capability is specified by simply listing
50: the capability.
51: .TP 0.5i
52: .B at
53: (str)
54: Auto call unit type.
55: .TP 0.5i
56: .B br
57: (num)
58: The baud rate used in establishing
59: a connection to the remote host.
60: This is a decimal number.
61: The default baud rate is 300 baud.
62: .TP 0.5i
63: .B cm
64: (str)
65: An initial connection message to be sent
66: to the remote host. For example, if a
67: host is reached through port selector, this
68: might be set to the appropriate sequence
69: required to switch to the host.
70: .TP 0.5i
71: .B cu
72: (str)
73: Call unit if making a phone call.
74: Default is the same as the `dv' field.
75: .TP 0.5i
76: .B di
77: (str)
78: Disconnect message sent to the host when a
79: disconnect is requested by the user.
80: .TP 0.5i
81: .B du
82: (bool)
83: This host is on a dial-up line.
84: .TP 0.5i
85: .B dv
86: (str)
87: UNIX device(s) to open to establish a connection.
88: If this file refers to a terminal line,
89: .IR tip (1C)
90: attempts to perform an exclusive open on the device to insure only
91: one user at a time has access to the port.
92: .TP 0.5i
93: .B el
94: (str)
95: Characters marking an end-of-line.
96: The default is NULL. `~' escapes are only
97: recognized by
98: .I tip
99: after one of the characters in `el',
100: or after a carriage-return.
101: .TP 0.5i
102: .B fs
103: (str)
104: Frame size for transfers.
105: The default frame size is equal to BUFSIZ.
106: .TP 0.5i
107: .B hd
108: (bool)
109: The host uses half-duplex communication, local
110: echo should be performed.
111: .TP 0.5i
112: .B ie
113: (str)
114: Input end-of-file marks.
115: The default is NULL.
116: .TP 0.5i
117: .B oe
118: (str)
119: Output end-of-file string.
120: The default is NULL. When
121: .I tip
122: is transferring a file, this
123: string is sent at end-of-file.
124: .TP 0.5i
125: .B pa
126: (str)
127: The type of parity to use when sending data
128: to the host. This may be one of ``even'',
129: ``odd'', ``none'', ``zero'' (always set bit 8 to zero),
130: ``one'' (always set bit 8 to 1). The default
131: is even parity.
132: .TP 0.5i
133: .B pn
134: (str)
135: Telephone number(s) for this host.
136: If the telephone number field contains
137: an @ sign,
138: .I tip
139: searches the file
140: .I /etc/phones
141: file for a list of telephone numbers;
142: c.f.
143: .IR phones (5).
144: .TP 0.5i
145: .B tc
146: (str)
147: Indicates that the list of capabilities is continued
148: in the named description. This is used
149: primarily to share common capability information.
150: .PP
151: Here is a short example showing the use of the capability continuation
