14 \S{puttytel-manpage-description} DESCRIPTION
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.
20 \S{puttytel-manpage-options} OPTIONS
22 The command-line options supported by \cw{puttytel} are:
24 \dt \cw{\-\-display} \e{display\-name}
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.
31 \dt \cw{\-fn} \e{font-name}
33 \dd Specify the font to use for normal text displayed in the terminal.
35 \dt \cw{\-fb} \e{font-name}
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.
44 \dt \cw{\-fw} \e{font-name}
46 \dd Specify the font to use for double-width characters (typically
47 Chinese, Japanese and Korean text) displayed in the terminal.
49 \dt \cw{\-fwb} \e{font-name}
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.
55 \dt \cw{\-geometry} \e{geometry}
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
61 \dt \cw{\-sl} \e{lines}
63 \dd Specify the number of lines of scrollback to save off the top of the
66 \dt \cw{\-fg} \e{colour}
68 \dd Specify the foreground colour to use for normal text.
70 \dt \cw{\-bg} \e{colour}
72 \dd Specify the background colour to use for normal text.
74 \dt \cw{\-bfg} \e{colour}
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.
79 \dt \cw{\-bbg} \e{colour}
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
87 \dt \cw{\-cfg} \e{colour}
89 \dd Specify the foreground colour to use for text covered by the cursor.
91 \dt \cw{\-cbg} \e{colour}
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.
96 \dt \cw{\-title} \e{title}
98 \dd Specify the initial title of the terminal window. (This can be
99 changed under control of the server.)
101 \dt \cw{\-sb\-} or \cw{+sb}
103 \dd Tells \cw{puttytel} not to display a scroll bar.
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.
112 \dt \cw{\-log} \e{logfile}, \cw{\-sessionlog} \e{logfile}
114 \dd This option makes \cw{puttytel} log all the terminal output to a file
115 as well as displaying it in the terminal.
117 \dt \cw{\-cs} \e{charset}
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.
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).
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.
135 Character set names are case-insensitive.
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
148 \dt \cw{\-help}, \cw{\-\-help}
150 \dd Display a message summarizing the available options.
154 \dd Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys, to aid
155 in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
157 \dt \cw{\-load} \e{session}
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.
163 \dt \cw{\-telnet}, \cw{\-rlogin}, \cw{\-raw}
165 \dd Select the protocol \cw{puttytel} will use to make the connection.
167 \dt \cw{\-l} \e{username}
169 \dd Specify the username to use when logging in to the server.
171 \dt \cw{\-P} \e{port}
173 \dd Specify the port to connect to the server on.
175 \S{puttytel-manpage-saved-sessions} SAVED SESSIONS
177 Saved sessions are stored in a \cw{.putty/sessions} subdirectory in
