NAME
tip
- connect to a remote system
SYNOPSIS
[-nv
]
[-speed
]
[system-name
]
DESCRIPTION
The
utility
establishes a full-duplex connection to another machine, giving the
appearance of being logged in directly on the remote CPU.
It goes without saying that you must have a login on the machine (or
equivalent) to which you wish to connect.
The options are as follows:
-n
No escape (disable tilde).
-v
Set verbose mode.
If
speed
is specified, it will override any baudrate specified in the system
description being used.
If neither
speed
nor
system-name
are specified,
system-name
will be set to the value of the
HOST
environment variable.
If
speed
is specified but
system-name
is not,
system-name
will be set to a value of
``tip
''
with
speed
appended.
For example,
-1200
will set
system-name
to
``tip1200
''
Typed characters are normally transmitted directly to the remote
machine (which does the echoing as well).
A tilde
(`~'
)
appearing as the first character of a line is an escape signal; the
following are recognized:
~^D or ~.
Drop the connection and exit.
Only the connection is dropped - the login session is not terminated.
~c [name
]
Change directory to
name
(no argument implies change to home directory).
~!
Escape to a shell (exiting the shell will return to
)
~>
Copy file from local to remote.
The
utility
prompts for the name of a local file to transmit.
~<
Copy file from remote to local.
The
utility
prompts first for the name of the file to be sent, then for a command
to be executed on the remote machine.
~p from [to
]
Send a file to a remote
UNIX
host.
This command causes the remote
UNIX
system to run the following command string,
sending it the
from
file:
"stty -echo; cat > 'to'; stty echo"
If the
to
file is not specified, the
from
file name is used.
This command is actually a
UNIX
specific version of the
~>
command.
~t from [to
]
Take a file from a remote
UNIX
host.
As in the
~p
command, the
to
file defaults to the
from
file name if it is not specified.
The remote host executes the following command string
to send the file to
:
"cat 'from'; echo '' | tr '\012' '\01'"
~|
Pipe the output from a remote command to a local
UNIX
process.
The command string sent to the local
UNIX
system is processed by the shell.
~$
Pipe the output from a local
UNIX
process to the remote host.
The command string sent to the local
UNIX
system is processed by the shell.
~C
Fork a child process on the local system to perform special protocols
such as
XMODEM
The child program will be run with the following arrangement of
file descriptors:
0 <-> remote tty in
1 <-> remote tty out
2 <-> local tty stderr
~#
Send a
BREAK
to the remote system.
For systems which do not support the necessary
ioctl ();
call, the break is simulated by a sequence of line speed changes and
DEL
characters.
~s
Set a variable (see the discussion below).
~v
List all variables and their values (if set).
~^Z
Stop
(only available with job control).
~^Y
Stop only the
``local side''
of
(only available with job control); the
``remote side''
of
,
the side that displays output from the remote host, is left running.
~?
Get a summary of the tilde escapes.
To find the system description, and thus the operating characteristics
of
system-name
searches for a system description with a name identical to
system-name
The search order is as follows:
If the environment variable
REMOTE
does not start with a
`/'
it is assumed to be a system description, and is considered first.
If the environment variable
REMOTE
begins with a
`/'
it is assumed to be a path to a
remote(5)
database, and the specified database is searched.
The default
remote(5)
database,
/etc/remote
is searched.
See
remote(5)
for full documentation on system descriptions.
The
br
capability is used in system descriptions to specify the baud rate
with which to establish a connection.
If the value specified is not suitable, the baud rate to be used may
be given on the command line, e.g.
``tip -300 mds
''
When
establishes a connection, it sends out the connection message
specified in the
cm
capability of the system description being used.
When
prompts for an argument, for example during setup of a file transfer, the
line typed may be edited with the standard erase and kill characters.
A null line in response to a prompt, or an interrupt, will abort the
dialogue and return the user to the remote machine.
The
utility
guards against multiple users connecting to a remote system by opening
modems and terminal lines with exclusive access, and by honoring the
locking protocol used by
uucico(8)PqPaports/net/freebsd-uucp.
During file transfers
provides a running count of the number of lines transferred.
When using the
~>
and
~<
commands, the
eofread
and
eofwrite
variables are used to recognize end-of-file when reading, and specify
end-of-file when writing (see below).
File transfers normally depend on hardwareflow or tandem mode for flow control.
If the remote system does not support hardwareflow or tandem mode,
echocheck
may be set to indicate that
should synchronize with the remote system on the echo of each
transmitted character.
When
must dial a phone number to connect to a system, it will print various
messages indicating its actions.
The
utility
supports a variety of auto-call units and modems with the
at
capability in system descriptions.
Support for Ventel 212+ (ventel), Hayes AT-style (hayes),
USRobotics Courier (courier), Telebit T3000 (t3000) and
Racal-Vadic 831 (vadic) units is enabled by default.
Support for Bizcomp 1031[fw] (biz31[fw]), Bizcomp 1022[fw]
(biz22[fw]), DEC DF0[23]-AC (df0[23]), DEC DN-11 (dn11) and
Racal-Vadic 3451 (v3451) units can be added by recompiling
with the appropriate defines.
Note that if support for both the Racal-Vadic 831 and 3451 is enabled,
they are referred to as the v831 and v3451, respectively.
If only one of the two is supported, it is referred to as vadic.
Variables
The
utility
maintains a set of variables which control its operation.
Some of these variables are read-only to normal users (root is allowed
to change anything of interest).
Variables may be displayed and set through the
~s
escape.
The syntax for variables is patterned after
vi(1)
and
Mail(1).
Supplying
``all
''
as an argument to the set command displays all variables readable by
the user.
Alternatively, the user may request display of a particular variable
by attaching a
`?'
to the end.
For example,
``escape?
''
displays the current escape character.
Variables are numeric, string, character, or boolean values.
Boolean variables are set merely by specifying their name; they may be
reset by prepending a
`!'
to the name.
Other variable types are set by concatenating an
`='
and the value.
The entire assignment must not have any blanks in it.
A single set command may be used to interrogate as well as set a
number of variables.
Variables may be initialized at run time by placing set commands
(without the
~s
prefix) in the initialization file
~/.tiprc
the
-v
option additionally causes
to display the sets as they are made.
Certain common variables have abbreviations.
The following is a list of common variables, their abbreviations, and
their default values:
