4 | puttytel \- GUI Telnet and Rlogin client for X |
5 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
6 | \fBputtytel\fP [ \fIoptions\fP ] [ \fIhost\fP ] |
7 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
8 | \fIputtytel\fP is a graphical Telnet and Rlogin client for X. It |
9 | is a direct port of the Windows Telnet and Rlogin client of the same |
10 | name, and a cut-down cryptography-free version of PuTTY. |
11 | .SH OPTIONS |
12 | The command-line options supported by \fIputtytel\fP are: |
13 | .IP "\fB\-\-display\fP \fIdisplay\-name\fP" |
14 | Specify the X display on which to open \fIputtytel\fP. (Note this |
15 | option has a double minus sign, even though none of the others do. |
16 | This is because this option is supplied automatically by GTK. |
17 | Sorry.) |
18 | .IP "\fB\-fn\fP \fIfont-name\fP" |
19 | Specify the font to use for normal text displayed in the terminal. |
20 | .IP "\fB\-fb\fP \fIfont-name\fP" |
21 | Specify the font to use for bold text displayed in the terminal. If |
22 | the \fIBoldAsColour\fP resource is set to 1 (the default), bold text |
23 | will be displayed in different colours instead of a different font, |
24 | so this option will be ignored. If \fIBoldAsColour\fP is set to 0 |
25 | and you do not specify a bold font, \fIputtytel\fP will overprint the |
26 | normal font to make it look bolder. |
27 | .IP "\fB\-fw\fP \fIfont-name\fP" |
28 | Specify the font to use for double-width characters (typically |
29 | Chinese, Japanese and Korean text) displayed in the terminal. |
30 | .IP "\fB\-fwb\fP \fIfont-name\fP" |
31 | Specify the font to use for bold double-width characters (typically |
32 | Chinese, Japanese and Korean text) Like \fI-fb\fP, this will be |
33 | ignored unless the \fIBoldAsColour\fP resource is set to 0. |
34 | .IP "\fB\-geometry\fP \fIgeometry\fP" |
35 | Specify the size of the terminal, in rows and columns of text. See |
36 | \fIX(7)\fP for more information on the syntax of geometry |
37 | specifications. |
38 | .IP "\fB\-sl\fP \fIlines\fP" |
39 | Specify the number of lines of scrollback to save off the top of the |
40 | terminal. |
41 | .IP "\fB\-fg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
42 | Specify the foreground colour to use for normal text. |
43 | .IP "\fB\-bg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
44 | Specify the background colour to use for normal text. |
45 | .IP "\fB\-bfg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
46 | Specify the foreground colour to use for bold text, if the |
47 | \fIBoldAsColour\fP resource is set to 1 (the default). |
48 | .IP "\fB\-bbg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
49 | Specify the foreground colour to use for bold reverse-video text, if |
50 | the \fIBoldAsColour\fP resource is set to 1 (the default). (This |
51 | colour is best thought of as the bold version of the background |
52 | colour; so it only appears when text is displayed \fIin\fP the |
53 | background colour.) |
54 | .IP "\fB\-cfg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
55 | Specify the foreground colour to use for text covered by the cursor. |
56 | .IP "\fB\-cbg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
57 | Specify the background colour to use for text covered by the cursor. |
58 | In other words, this is the main colour of the cursor. |
59 | .IP "\fB\-title\fP \fItitle\fP" |
60 | Specify the initial title of the terminal window. (This can be |
61 | changed under control of the server.) |
62 | .IP "\fB\-sb\-\fP or \fB+sb\fP" |
63 | Tells \fIputtytel\fP not to display a scroll bar. |
64 | .IP "\fB\-sb\fP" |
65 | Tells \fIputtytel\fP to display a scroll bar: this is the opposite of |
66 | \fI\-sb\-\fP. This is the default option: you will probably only need |
67 | to specify it explicitly if you have changed the default using the |
68 | \fIScrollBar\fP resource. |
69 | .IP "\fB\-log\fP \fIfilename\fP" |
70 | This option makes \fIputtytel\fP log all the terminal output to a file |
71 | as well as displaying it in the terminal. |
72 | .IP "\fB\-cs\fP \fIcharset\fP" |
73 | This option specifies the character set in which \fIputtytel\fP should |
74 | assume the session is operating. This character set will be used to |
75 | interpret all the data received from the session, and all input you |
76 | type or paste into \fIputtytel\fP will be converted into this character |
77 | set before being sent to the session. |
78 | |
79 | Any character set name which is valid in a MIME header (and |
80 | supported by \fIputtytel\fP) should be valid here (examples are |
81 | "ISO-8859-1", "windows-1252" or "UTF-8"). Also, any character |
82 | encoding which is valid in an X logical font description should be |
83 | valid ("ibm-cp437", for example). |
84 | |
85 | \fIputtytel\fP's default behaviour is to use the same character |
86 | encoding as its primary font. If you supply a Unicode (iso10646-1) |
87 | font, it will default to the UTF-8 character set. |
88 | |
89 | Character set names are case-insensitive. |
90 | .IP "\fB\-nethack\fP" |
91 | Tells \fIputtytel\fP to enable NetHack keypad mode, in which the |
92 | numeric keypad generates the NetHack "hjklyubn" direction keys. This |
93 | enables you to play NetHack with the numeric keypad without having |
94 | to use the NetHack "number_pad" option (which requires you to press |
95 | "n" before any repeat count). So you can move with the numeric |
96 | keypad, and enter repeat counts with the normal number keys. |
97 | .IP "\fB\-help\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP" |
98 | Display a message summarizing the available options. |
99 | .IP "\fB\-load\fP \fIsession\fP" |
100 | Load a saved session by name. This allows you to run a saved session |
101 | straight from the command line without having to go through the |
102 | configuration box first. |
103 | .IP "\fB\-telnet\fP, \fB\-rlogin\fP, \fB\-raw\fP" |
104 | Select the protocol \fIputtytel\fP will use to make the connection. |
105 | .IP "\fB\-l\fP \fIusername\fP" |
106 | Specify the username to use when logging in to the server. |
107 | .IP "\fB\-P\fP \fIport\fP" |
108 | Specify the port to connect to the server on. |
109 | .SH SAVED SESSIONS |
110 | Saved sessions are stored in a \fI.putty/sessions\fP subdirectory in |
111 | your home directory. |
112 | .SH MORE INFORMATION |
