TELNET(1)                   General Commands Manual                  TELNET(1)



NAME
       telnet - user interface to the telnet protocol

SYNOPSIS
       telnet [ host [ port ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       Telnet  communicates  with  another host using the TELNET protocol.  If
       telnet is invoked without arguments, it  prompts  `telnet>'.   In  this
       mode it accepts the commands listed below.  If it is invoked with argu‐
       ments, it performs an open command (see below) with those arguments.

       Once a connection has been opened, telnet sends typed text to  the  re‐
       mote  host.   To issue telnet commands when in input mode, precede them
       with the telnet escape character, initially control-].

       The following commands are available.  Only a unique prefix of the com‐
       mand need be typed.

       open host [ port ]
              Open  a connection to the named host.  A missing port number de‐
              faults to a TELNET server.  The host may be a host  name  or  an
              Internet address specified in the `dot notation'.

       close  Close a TELNET session and return to command mode.

       quit   Close any open TELNET session and exit telnet.

       escape [ escape-char ]
              Set  the  telnet  escape  character.   Control characters may be
              specified as `^' followed by a single letter.

       status Show the current status of telnet.

       options

              on,  all  TELNET option negotiations will be displayed.  Options
              sent by telnet are displayed as SENT, options received as RCVD.

       crmod  Toggle carriage return mode.  When this mode is on, carriage re‐
              turn  characters  received  from the remote host map into a car‐
              riage return and a line feed.

       ? [ command ]
              Get help.  With no arguments, print a help summary.  With a com‐
