| 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, |
| 40 | so this option will be ignored. If \cw{BoldAsColour} is set to 0 or 2 |
| 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 |
| 53 | will be ignored unless the \cw{BoldAsColour} resource is set to 0 or 2. |
| 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 |
| 77 | \cw{BoldAsColour} resource is set to 1 (the default) or 2. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | \dt \cw{\-bbg} \e{colour} |
| 80 | |
| 81 | \dd Specify the foreground colour to use for bold reverse-video text, if |
| 82 | the \cw{BoldAsColour} resource is set to 1 (the default) or 2. (This |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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. |
