RLOGIN(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 RLOGIN(1)

NAME
     rlogin -- remote login

SYNOPSIS
     rlogin [-468Ed] [-e char] [-l username] [-p port] host
     rlogin [-468Ed] [-e char] [-p port] username@host

DESCRIPTION
     rlogin starts a terminal session on a remote host host.

     rlogin first attempts to use the standard Berkeley rhosts authorization mechanism.  The options are as follows:

     -4 	   Use IPv4 addresses only.

     -6 	   Use IPv6 addresses only.

     -8 	   The -8 option allows an eight-bit input data path at all times; otherwise parity bits are stripped except when the remote
		   side's stop and start characters are other than '^S/^Q'.

     -E 	   The -E option stops any character from being recognized as an escape character.  When used with the -8 option, this provides a
		   completely transparent connection.

     -d 	   The -d option turns on socket debugging (see setsockopt(2)) on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.

     -e char	   The -e option allows user specification of the escape character, which is ``~'' by default.	This specification may be as a
		   literal character, or as an octal value in the form 
nn.

     -l username   the -l option specifies an alternate username for the remote login.	If this option is not specified, your local username will
		   be used.

     -p port	   Uses the given port instead of the one assigned to the service ``login''.  May be given either as symbolic name or as number.

     A line of the form ``<escape char>.'' disconnects from the remote host.  Similarly, the line ``<escape char>^Z'' will suspend the rlogin ses-
     sion, and ``<escape char><delayed-suspend char>'' suspends the send portion of the rlogin, but allows output from the remote system.  By
     default, the tilde (``~'') character is the escape character, and normally control-Y (``^Y'') is the delayed-suspend character.

     All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays) the rlogin is transparent.  Flow control via ^S/^Q and flushing of
     input and output on interrupts are handled properly.
