  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.
