1.1 root 1: .TH REMOTE 5 "1 March 1983"
2: .UC 4
3: .SH NAME
4: remote \- remote host description file
5: .SH DESCRIPTION
6: The systems known by
7: .IR tip (1C)
8: and their attributes are stored in an ASCII file which
9: is structured somewhat like the
10: .IR termcap (5)
11: file. Each line in the file provides a description for a single
12: .IR system .
13: Fields are separated by a colon (``:'').
14: Lines ending in a \e character with an immediately following newline are
15: continued on the next line.
16: .PP
17: The first entry is the name(s) of the host system. If there is more
18: than one name for a system, the names are separated by vertical bars.
19: After the name of the system comes the fields of the description. A
20: field name followed by an `=' sign indicates a string value follows. A field
21: name followed by a `#' sign indicates a following numeric value.
22: .PP
23: Entries named ``tip*'' and ``cu*''
24: are used as default entries by
25: .IR tip ,
26: and the
27: .I cu
28: interface to
29: .IR tip ,
30: as follows. When
31: .I tip
32: is invoked with only a phone number, it looks for an entry
33: of the form ``tip300'', where 300 is the baud rate with
34: which the connection is to be made. When the
35: .I cu
36: interface is used, entries of the form ``cu300'' are used.
37: .SH CAPABILITIES
38: Capabilities are either strings (str), numbers (num), or boolean
39: flags (bool). A string capability is specified by
40: .IR capability = value ;
41: e.g. ``dv=/dev/harris''. A numeric capability is specified by
42: .IR capability # value ;
43: e.g. ``xa#99''. A boolean capability is specified by simply listing
44: the capability.
45: .TP 0.5i
46: .B at
47: (str)
48: Auto call unit type.
49: .TP 0.5i
50: .B br
51: (num)
52: The baud rate used in establishing
53: a connection to the remote host.
54: This is a decimal number.
55: The default baud rate is 300 baud.
56: .TP 0.5i
57: .B cm
58: (str)
59: An initial connection message to be sent
60: to the remote host. For example, if a
61: host is reached through port selector, this
62: might be set to the appropriate sequence
63: required to switch to the host.
64: .TP 0.5i
65: .B cu
66: (str)
67: Call unit if making a phone call.
68: Default is the same as the `dv' field.
69: .TP 0.5i
70: .B di
71: (str)
72: Disconnect message sent to the host when a
73: disconnect is requested by the user.
74: .TP 0.5i
75: .B du
76: (bool)
77: This host is on a dial-up line.
78: .TP 0.5i
79: .B dv
80: (str)
81: UNIX device(s) to open to establish a connection.
82: If this file refers to a terminal line,
83: .IR tip (1C)
84: attempts to perform an exclusive open on the device to insure only
85: one user at a time has access to the port.
86: .TP 0.5i
87: .B el
88: (str)
89: Characters marking an end-of-line.
90: The default is NULL. `~' escapes are only
91: recognized by
92: .I tip
93: after one of the characters in `el',
94: or after a carriage-return.
95: .TP 0.5i
96: .B fs
97: (str)
98: Frame size for transfers.
99: The default frame size is equal to BUFSIZ.
100: .TP 0.5i
101: .B hd
102: (bool)
103: The host uses half-duplex communication, local
104: echo should be performed.
105: .TP 0.5i
106: .B ie
107: (str)
108: Input end-of-file marks.
109: The default is NULL.
110: .TP 0.5i
111: .B oe
112: (str)
113: Output end-of-file string.
114: The default is NULL. When
115: .I tip
116: is transferring a file, this
117: string is sent at end-of-file.
118: .TP 0.5i
119: .B pa
120: (str)
121: The type of parity to use when sending data
122: to the host. This may be one of ``even'',
123: ``odd'', ``none'', ``zero'' (always set bit 8 to zero),
124: ``one'' (always set bit 8 to 1). The default
125: is even parity.
126: .TP 0.5i
127: .B pn
128: (str)
129: Telephone number(s) for this host.
130: If the telephone number field contains
131: an @ sign,
132: .I tip
133: searches the file
134: .I /etc/phones
135: file for a list of telephone numbers;
136: c.f.
137: .IR phones (5).
138: .TP 0.5i
139: .B tc
140: (str)
141: Indicates that the list of capabilities is continued
142: in the named description. This is used
143: primarily to share common capability information.
144: .PP
145: Here is a short example showing the use of the capability continuation
146: feature:
