14 | \S{puttytel-manpage-description} DESCRIPTION |
15 | |
16 | \cw{puttytel} is a graphical Telnet and Rlogin client for X. It |
17 | is a direct port of the Windows Telnet and Rlogin client of the same |
18 | name, and a cut-down cryptography-free version of PuTTY. |
19 | |
20 | \S{puttytel-manpage-options} OPTIONS |
21 | |
22 | The command-line options supported by \cw{puttytel} are: |
23 | |
24 | \dt \cw{\-\-display} \e{display\-name} |
25 | |
26 | \dd Specify the X display on which to open \cw{puttytel}. (Note this |
27 | option has a double minus sign, even though none of the others do. |
28 | This is because this option is supplied automatically by GTK. |
29 | Sorry.) |
30 | |
31 | \dt \cw{\-fn} \e{font-name} |
32 | |
33 | \dd Specify the font to use for normal text displayed in the terminal. |
34 | |
35 | \dt \cw{\-fb} \e{font-name} |
36 | |
37 | \dd Specify the font to use for bold text displayed in the terminal. If |
38 | the \cw{BoldAsColour} resource is set to 1 (the default), bold text |
39 | will be displayed in different colours instead of a different font, |
863c5362 |
40 | so this option will be ignored. If \cw{BoldAsColour} is set to 0 or 2 |
e3e5784e |
41 | and you do not specify a bold font, \cw{puttytel} will overprint the |
42 | normal font to make it look bolder. |
43 | |
44 | \dt \cw{\-fw} \e{font-name} |
45 | |
46 | \dd Specify the font to use for double-width characters (typically |
47 | Chinese, Japanese and Korean text) displayed in the terminal. |
48 | |
49 | \dt \cw{\-fwb} \e{font-name} |
50 | |
51 | \dd Specify the font to use for bold double-width characters |
52 | (typically Chinese, Japanese and Korean text). Like \cw{-fb}, this |
863c5362 |
53 | will be ignored unless the \cw{BoldAsColour} resource is set to 0 or 2. |
e3e5784e |
54 | |
55 | \dt \cw{\-geometry} \e{geometry} |
56 | |
57 | \dd Specify the size of the terminal, in rows and columns of text. See |
58 | \e{X(7)} for more information on the syntax of geometry |
59 | specifications. |
60 | |
61 | \dt \cw{\-sl} \e{lines} |
62 | |
63 | \dd Specify the number of lines of scrollback to save off the top of the |
64 | terminal. |
65 | |
66 | \dt \cw{\-fg} \e{colour} |
67 | |
68 | \dd Specify the foreground colour to use for normal text. |
69 | |
70 | \dt \cw{\-bg} \e{colour} |
71 | |
72 | \dd Specify the background colour to use for normal text. |
73 | |
74 | \dt \cw{\-bfg} \e{colour} |
75 | |
76 | \dd Specify the foreground colour to use for bold text, if the |
863c5362 |
77 | \cw{BoldAsColour} resource is set to 1 (the default) or 2. |
e3e5784e |
78 | |
79 | \dt \cw{\-bbg} \e{colour} |
80 | |
81 | \dd Specify the foreground colour to use for bold reverse-video text, if |
863c5362 |
82 | the \cw{BoldAsColour} resource is set to 1 (the default) or 2. (This |
e3e5784e |
83 | colour is best thought of as the bold version of the background |
84 | colour; so it only appears when text is displayed \e{in} the |
85 | background colour.) |
86 | |
87 | \dt \cw{\-cfg} \e{colour} |
88 | |
89 | \dd Specify the foreground colour to use for text covered by the cursor. |
90 | |
91 | \dt \cw{\-cbg} \e{colour} |
92 | |
93 | \dd Specify the background colour to use for text covered by the cursor. |
94 | In other words, this is the main colour of the cursor. |
95 | |
96 | \dt \cw{\-title} \e{title} |
97 | |
98 | \dd Specify the initial title of the terminal window. (This can be |
99 | changed under control of the server.) |
100 | |
101 | \dt \cw{\-sb\-} or \cw{+sb} |
102 | |
103 | \dd Tells \cw{puttytel} not to display a scroll bar. |
104 | |
105 | \dt \cw{\-sb} |
106 | |
107 | \dd Tells \cw{puttytel} to display a scroll bar: this is the opposite of |
108 | \cw{\-sb\-}. This is the default option: you will probably only need |
109 | to specify it explicitly if you have changed the default using the |
110 | \cw{ScrollBar} resource. |
111 | |
112 | \dt \cw{\-log} \e{filename} |
113 | |
114 | \dd This option makes \cw{puttytel} log all the terminal output to a file |
115 | as well as displaying it in the terminal. |
116 | |
117 | \dt \cw{\-cs} \e{charset} |
118 | |
119 | \dd This option specifies the character set in which \cw{puttytel} |
120 | should assume the session is operating. This character set will be |
121 | used to interpret all the data received from the session, and all |
122 | input you type or paste into \cw{puttytel} will be converted into |
123 | this character set before being sent to the session. |
124 | |
125 | \lcont{ Any character set name which is valid in a MIME header (and |
126 | supported by \cw{puttytel}) should be valid here (examples are |
127 | \q{\cw{ISO-8859-1}}, \q{\cw{windows-1252}} or \q{\cw{UTF-8}}). Also, |
128 | any character encoding which is valid in an X logical font |
129 | description should be valid (\q{\cw{ibm-cp437}}, for example). |
130 | |
131 | \cw{puttytel}'s default behaviour is to use the same character |
132 | encoding as its primary font. If you supply a Unicode |
133 | (\cw{iso10646-1}) font, it will default to the UTF-8 character set. |
134 | |
135 | Character set names are case-insensitive. |
136 | } |
137 | |
138 | \dt \cw{\-nethack} |
139 | |
140 | \dd Tells \cw{puttytel} to enable NetHack keypad mode, in which the |
141 | numeric keypad generates the NetHack \c{hjklyubn} direction keys. |
142 | This enables you to play NetHack with the numeric keypad without |
143 | having to use the NetHack \c{number_pad} option (which requires you |
144 | to press \q{\cw{n}} before any repeat count). So you can move with |
145 | the numeric keypad, and enter repeat counts with the normal number |
146 | keys. |
147 | |
148 | \dt \cw{\-help}, \cw{\-\-help} |
149 | |
150 | \dd Display a message summarizing the available options. |
151 | |
2285d016 |
152 | \dt \cw{\-pgpfp} |
153 | |
154 | \dd Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys, to aid |
155 | in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team. |
156 | |
e3e5784e |
157 | \dt \cw{\-load} \e{session} |
158 | |
159 | \dd Load a saved session by name. This allows you to run a saved session |
160 | straight from the command line without having to go through the |
161 | configuration box first. |
162 | |
163 | \dt \cw{\-telnet}, \cw{\-rlogin}, \cw{\-raw} |
164 | |
165 | \dd Select the protocol \cw{puttytel} will use to make the connection. |
166 | |
167 | \dt \cw{\-l} \e{username} |
168 | |
169 | \dd Specify the username to use when logging in to the server. |
170 | |
171 | \dt \cw{\-P} \e{port} |
172 | |
173 | \dd Specify the port to connect to the server on. |
174 | |
175 | \S{puttytel-manpage-saved-sessions} SAVED SESSIONS |
176 | |
177 | Saved sessions are stored in a \cw{.putty/sessions} subdirectory in |
178 | your home directory. |
