NAME

       huh - redisplay last telegram received.

SYNOPSIS

       huh [-sk]

DESCRIPTION

       Huh reprints the last telegram that was sent to you.  It is intended for use when telegrams get garbled on your screen.

       Huh  will  only	work if you had the ``record'' flag turned on when the telegram was received.  This flag can be turned on with the mesg(1)
       command.

       Normally, huh will delete each message immediately after displaying it.	If the -k flag is given, the message is non deleted, and the  next
       huh command will display it again.  On the other hand, the -s flag suppresses the display of the message, so it will just be deleted.

       Normally, only the last message is retained, except when amin(1) is run with the -p flag.

NAME

     mesg -- display (do not display) messages from other users

SYNOPSIS

     mesg [n | y]

DESCRIPTION

     The mesg utility is invoked by a user to control write access others have to a terminal device.  Write access is allowed by default, and pro-
     grams such as talk(1) and write(1) may display messages on the terminal.

     The first terminal device in the sequence of devices associated with standard input, standard output and standard error is affected.

     Options available:

     n	   Disallows messages.

     y	   Permits messages to be displayed.

     If no arguments are given, mesg displays the present message status to the standard output.

EXAMPLES

     Disallow messages from other users to the current terminal:

	   mesg n

     Allow messages from other users to ttyp1 (assuming you are also logged in on that terminal):

	   mesg y </dev/ttyp1

DIAGNOSTICS

     The mesg utility exits with one of the following values:

	    0	 Messages are allowed.
	    1	 Messages are not allowed.
	   >1	 An error has occurred.

COMPATIBILITY

     Previous versions of the mesg utility wrote the message status to the standard error output and affected the terminal attached to standard
     error without first trying the standard input or output devices.

STANDARDS

     The mesg utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     A mesg command appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX.
