+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+command
+is used to communicate with another host using the
+.Tn TELNET
+protocol.
+If
+.Nm
+is invoked without the
+.Ar host
+argument, it enters command mode,
+indicated by its prompt
+.Pq Nm telnet\&> .
+In this mode, it accepts and executes the commands listed below.
+If it is invoked with arguments, it performs an
+.Ic open
+command with those arguments.
+.Pp
+If a hostname is resolved to multiple IP addresses,
+.Nm
+attempts to establish a connection with each address until one of them is successful or until no more addresses are left.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl 4
+Force IPv4 address resolution.
+.It Fl 6
+Force IPv6 address resolution.
+.It Fl 7
+Strip 8th bit on input and output. Telnet is 8-bit clean by default but doesn't send the TELNET BINARY option unless forced.
+.It Fl 8
+Specifies an 8-bit data path.
+This causes an attempt to negotiate the
+.Dv TELNET BINARY
+option on both input and output.
+.It Fl E
+Stops any character from being recognized as an escape character.
+.It Fl F
+If Kerberos V5 authentication is being used, the
+.Fl F
+option allows the local credentials to be forwarded
+to the remote system, including any credentials that
+have already been forwarded into the local environment.
+.It Fl K
+Specifies no automatic login to the remote system.
+.It Fl L
+Specifies an 8-bit data path on output.
+This causes the BINARY option to be negotiated on output.
+.It Fl X Ar atype
+Disables the
+.Ar atype
+type of authentication.
+.It Fl a
+Attempt automatic login.
+Currently, this sends the user name via the
+.Ev USER
+variable
+of the
+.Ev ENVIRON
+option if supported by the remote system.
+The name used is that of the current user as returned by
+.Xr getlogin 2
+if it agrees with the current user ID,
+otherwise it is the name associated with the user ID.
+.It Fl b Ar hostalias
+Uses
+.Xr bind 2
+on the local socket to bind it to an aliased address (see
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+and the ``alias'' specifier) or to the address of
+another interface than the one naturally chosen by
+.Xr connect 2 .
+This can be useful when connecting to services which use IP addresses
+for authentication and reconfiguration of the server is undesirable (or
+impossible).
+.It Fl c
+Disables the reading of the user's
+.Pa \&.telnetrc
+file.
+(See the
+.Ic toggle skiprc
+command on this man page.)
+.It Fl d
+Sets the initial value of the
+.Ic debug
+toggle to
+.Dv TRUE .
+.It Fl e Ar escapechar
+Sets the initial
+.Nm
+escape character to
+.Ar escapechar Ns .
+If
+.Ar escapechar
+is omitted, then
+there will be no escape character.
+.It Fl f
+If Kerberos V5 authentication is being used, the
+.Fl f
+option allows the local credentials to be forwarded to the remote system.
+.It Fl k Ar realm
+If Kerberos authentication is being used, the
+.Fl k
+option requests that
+.Nm
+obtain tickets for the remote host in
+realm
+.Ar realm
+instead of the remote host's realm, as determined
+by
+.Xr krb_realmofhost 3 .
+.It Fl l Ar user
+When connecting to the remote system, if the remote system
+understands the
+.Ev ENVIRON
+option, then
+.Ar user
+will be sent to the remote system as the value for the variable USER.
+This option implies the
+.Fl a
+option.
+This option may also be used with the
+.Ic open
+command.
+.It Fl n Ar tracefile
+Opens
+.Ar tracefile
+for recording trace information.
+See the
+.Ic set tracefile
+command below.
+.It Fl r
+Specifies a user interface similar to
+.Xr rlogin 1 .
+In this
+mode, the escape character is set to the tilde (~) character,
+unless modified by the
+.Fl e
+option.
+.It Fl x
+Turns on encryption of the data stream if possible.
+.It Ar host
+Indicates the official name, an alias, or the Internet address
+of a remote host.
+.It Ar port
+Indicates a port number (address of an application).
+If a number is not specified, the default
+.Nm
+port is used.
+.El
+.Pp
+When in rlogin mode, a line of the form ~.
+disconnects from the
+remote host; ~ is the telnet escape character.
+Similarly, the line ~^Z suspends the telnet session.
+The line ~^] escapes to the normal telnet escape prompt.
+.Pp
+Once a connection has been opened,
+.Nm
+will attempt to enable the
+.Dv TELNET LINEMODE
+option.
+If this fails,
+.Nm
+will revert to one of two input modes:
+either ``character at a time''
+or ``old line by line''
+depending on what the remote system supports.
+.Pp
+When
+.Dv LINEMODE
+is enabled, character processing is done on the
+local system, under the control of the remote system.
+When input
+editing or character echoing is to be disabled, the remote system
+will relay that information.
+The remote system will also relay
+changes to any special characters that happen on the remote
+system, so that they can take effect on the local system.
+.Pp
+In ``character at a time'' mode, most
+text typed is immediately sent to the remote host for processing.
+.Pp
+In ``old line by line'' mode, all text is echoed locally,
+and (normally) only completed lines are sent to the remote host.
+The ``local echo character'' (initially ``^E'') may be used
+to turn off and on the local echo
+(this would mostly be used to enter passwords
+without the password being echoed).
+.Pp
+If the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option is enabled, or if the
+.Ic localchars
+toggle is
+.Dv TRUE
+(the default for ``old line by line''; see below),
+the user's
+.Ic quit ,
+.Ic intr ,
+and
+.Ic flush
+characters are trapped locally, and sent as
+.Tn TELNET
+protocol sequences to the remote side.
+If
+.Dv LINEMODE
+has ever been enabled, then the user's
+.Ic susp
+and
+.Ic eof
+are also sent as
+.Tn TELNET
+protocol sequences,
+and
+.Ic quit
+is sent as a
+.Dv TELNET ABORT
+instead of
+.Dv BREAK .
+There are options (see
+.Ic toggle
+.Ic autoflush
+and
+.Ic toggle
+.Ic autosynch
+below)
+which cause this action to flush subsequent output to the terminal
+(until the remote host acknowledges the
+.Tn TELNET
+sequence) and flush previous terminal input
+(in the case of
+.Ic quit
+and
+.Ic intr ) .
+.Pp
+While connected to a remote host,
+.Nm
+command mode may be entered by typing the
+.Nm
+``escape character'' (initially ``^]'').
+When in command mode, the normal terminal editing conventions are available.
+Note that the escape character will return to the command mode of the initial
+invocation of
+.Nm
+that has the controlling terminal.
+Use the
+.Cm send escape
+command to switch to command mode in subsequent
+.Nm
+processes on remote hosts.
+.Pp
+The following
+.Nm
+commands are available.
+Only enough of each command to uniquely identify it need be typed
+(this is also true for arguments to the
+.Ic mode ,
+.Ic set ,
+.Ic toggle ,
+.Ic unset ,
+.Ic slc ,
+.Ic environ ,
+and
+.Ic display
+commands).
+.Bl -tag -width "mode type"
+.It Ic auth Ar argument Op Ar ...
+The
+.Ic auth
+command manipulates the information sent through the
+.Dv TELNET AUTHENTICATE
+option.
+Valid arguments for the
+.Ic auth
+command are as follows:

+option.
+.Pp
+Valid arguments for the encrypt command are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ar
+.It Ic disable Ar type Ic [input|output]
+Disables the specified
+.Ar type
+of encryption.
+If you omit
+.Ic input
+and

+are disabled.
+To obtain a list of available types, use the
+.Ic encrypt disable \&?
+command.
+.It Ic enable Ar type Ic [input|output]
+Enables the specified
+.Ar type
+of encryption.
+If you omit
+.Ic input
+and
+.Ic output ,
+both input and output are
+enabled.
+To obtain a list of available types, use the
+.Ic encrypt enable \&?
+command.
+.It Ic input
+This is the same as the
+.Ic encrypt start input
+command.
+.It Ic -input
+This is the same as the

+.It Ic type Ar type
+Sets the default type of encryption to be used
+with later
+.Ic encrypt start
+or
+.Ic encrypt stop
+commands.
+.El
+.It Ic environ Ar arguments Op Ar ...
+The
+.Ic environ
+command is used to manipulate the
+variables that may be sent through the
+.Dv TELNET ENVIRON
+option.
+The initial set of variables is taken from the users
+environment, with only the
+.Ev DISPLAY
+and
+.Ev PRINTER
+variables being exported by default.
+The
+.Ev USER
+variable is also exported if the
+.Fl a
+or
+.Fl l
+options are used.
+.br
+Valid arguments for the
+.Ic environ
+command are:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Ic define Ar variable value
+Define the variable
+.Ar variable
+to have a value of
+.Ar value .
+Any variables defined by this command are automatically exported.
+The
+.Ar value
+may be enclosed in single or double quotes so
+that tabs and spaces may be included.
+.It Ic undefine Ar variable
+Remove
+.Ar variable
+from the list of environment variables.
+.It Ic export Ar variable
+Mark the variable
+.Ar variable

+.It Ic unexport Ar variable
+Mark the variable
+.Ar variable
+to not be exported unless
+explicitly asked for by the remote side.
+.It Ic list
+List the current set of environment variables.
+Those marked with a
+.Cm *
+will be sent automatically,
+other variables will only be sent if explicitly requested.
+.It Ic \&?
+Prints out help information for the
+.Ic environ
+command.
+.El
+.It Ic logout
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET LOGOUT
+option to the remote side.
+This command is similar to a
+.Ic close
+command; however, if the remote side does not support the
+.Dv LOGOUT
+option, nothing happens.
+If, however, the remote side does support the
+.Dv LOGOUT
+option, this command should cause the remote side to close the
+.Tn TELNET
+connection.
+If the remote side also supports the concept of
+suspending a user's session for later reattachment,
+the logout argument indicates that you
+should terminate the session immediately.
+.It Ic mode Ar type
+.Ar type
+is one of several options, depending on the state of the
+.Tn TELNET
+session.
+The remote host is asked for permission to go into the requested mode.
+If the remote host is capable of entering that mode, the requested
+mode will be entered.
+.Bl -tag -width Ar
+.It Ic character
+Disable the
+.Dv TELNET LINEMODE
+option, or, if the remote side does not understand the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option, then enter ``character at a time'' mode.
+.It Ic line
+Enable the
+.Dv TELNET LINEMODE
+option, or, if the remote side does not understand the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option, then attempt to enter ``old-line-by-line'' mode.
+.It Ic isig Pq Ic \-isig
+Attempt to enable (disable) the
+.Dv TRAPSIG
+mode of the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option.
+This requires that the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option be enabled.
+.It Ic edit Pq Ic \-edit
+Attempt to enable (disable) the
+.Dv EDIT
+mode of the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option.
+This requires that the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option be enabled.
+.It Ic softtabs Pq Ic \-softtabs
+Attempt to enable (disable) the
+.Dv SOFT_TAB
+mode of the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option.
+This requires that the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option be enabled.
+.It Ic litecho Pq Ic \-litecho
+Attempt to enable (disable) the
+.Dv LIT_ECHO
+mode of the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option.
+This requires that the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option be enabled.
+.It Ic \&?
+Prints out help information for the
+.Ic mode
+command.
+.El
+.It Xo
+.Ic open Ar host
+.Op Fl l Ar user
+.Oo Op Fl
+.Ar port Oc
+.Xc
+Open a connection to the named host.
+If no port number
+is specified,
+.Nm
+will attempt to contact a
+.Tn TELNET
+server at the default port.
+The host specification may be either a host name (see
+.Xr hosts 5 )
+or an Internet address specified in the ``dot notation'' (see
+.Xr inet 3 ) .
+The
+.Fl l
+option may be used to specify the user name
+to be passed to the remote system via the
+.Ev ENVIRON
+option.
+When connecting to a non-standard port,
+.Nm
+omits any automatic initiation of
+.Tn TELNET
+options.
+When the port number is preceded by a minus sign,
+the initial option negotiation is done.
+After establishing a connection, the file
+.Pa \&.telnetrc
+in the
+user's home directory is opened.
+Lines beginning with a ``#'' are
+comment lines.
+Blank lines are ignored.
+Lines that begin
+without whitespace are the start of a machine entry.
+The first thing on the line is the name of the machine that is
+being connected to.
+The rest of the line, and successive
+lines that begin with whitespace are assumed to be
+.Nm
+commands and are processed as if they had been typed
+in manually to the
+.Nm
+command prompt.
+.It Ic quit
+Close any open
+.Tn TELNET
+session and exit
+.Nm telnet .
+An end-of-file (in command mode) will also close a session and exit.
+.It Ic send Ar arguments
+Sends one or more special character sequences to the remote host.
+The following are the arguments which may be specified
+(more than one argument may be specified at a time):
+.Bl -tag -width escape
+.It Ic abort
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET ABORT
+(Abort
+processes)
+sequence.
+.It Ic ao
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET AO
+(Abort Output) sequence, which should cause the remote system to flush
+all output
+.Em from
+the remote system
+.Em to
+the user's terminal.
+.It Ic ayt
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET AYT
+(Are You There)
+sequence, to which the remote system may or may not choose to respond.
+.It Ic brk
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET BRK
+(Break) sequence, which may have significance to the remote
+system.
+.It Ic ec
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET EC
+(Erase Character)
+sequence, which should cause the remote system to erase the last character
+entered.
+.It Ic el
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET EL
+(Erase Line)
+sequence, which should cause the remote system to erase the line currently
+being entered.
+.It Ic eof
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET EOF
+(End Of File)
+sequence.
+.It Ic eor
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET EOR
+(End of Record)
+sequence.
+.It Ic escape
+Sends the current
+.Nm
+escape character (initially ``^]'').
+.It Ic ga
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET GA
+(Go Ahead)
+sequence, which likely has no significance to the remote system.
+.It Ic getstatus
+If the remote side supports the
+.Dv TELNET STATUS
+command,
+.Ic getstatus
+will send the subnegotiation to request that the server send
+its current option status.
+.It Ic ip
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET IP
+(Interrupt Process) sequence, which should cause the remote
+system to abort the currently running process.
+.It Ic nop
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET NOP
+(No OPeration)
+sequence.
+.It Ic susp
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET SUSP
+(SUSPend process)
+sequence.
+.It Ic synch
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET SYNCH
+sequence.
+This sequence causes the remote system to discard all previously typed
+(but not yet read) input.
+This sequence is sent as
+.Tn TCP
+urgent
+data (and may not work if the remote system is a
+.Bx 4.2
+system -- if
+it doesn't work, a lower case ``r'' may be echoed on the terminal).
+.It Ic do Ar cmd
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET DO
+.Ar cmd
+sequence.
+.Ar cmd
+can be either a decimal number between 0 and 255,
+or a symbolic name for a specific
+.Dv TELNET
+command.
+.Ar cmd
+can also be either
+.Ic help
+or
+.Ic \&?
+to print out help information, including
+a list of known symbolic names.
+.It Ic dont Ar cmd
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET DONT
+.Ar cmd
+sequence.
+.Ar cmd
+can be either a decimal number between 0 and 255,
+or a symbolic name for a specific
+.Dv TELNET

+.Ic help
+or
+.Ic \&?
+to print out help information, including
+a list of known symbolic names.
+.It Ic will Ar cmd
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET WILL
+.Ar cmd
+sequence.
+.Ar cmd
+can be either a decimal number between 0 and 255,
+or a symbolic name for a specific

+to print out help information, including
+a list of known symbolic names.
+.It Ic wont Ar cmd
+Sends the
+.Dv TELNET WONT
+.Ar cmd
+sequence.
+.Ar cmd
+can be either a decimal number between 0 and 255,
+or a symbolic name for a specific
+.Dv TELNET
+command.
+.Ar cmd
+can also be either
+.Ic help
+or
+.Ic \&?
+to print out help information, including
+a list of known symbolic names.
+.It Ic \&?
+Prints out help information for the
+.Ic send
+command.
+.El
+.It Ic set Ar argument value
+.It Ic unset Ar argument value
+The
+.Ic set
+command will set any one of a number of
+.Nm
+variables to a specific value or to
+.Dv TRUE .
+The special value
+.Ic off
+turns off the function associated with
+the variable; this is equivalent to using the
+.Ic unset
+command.
+The
+.Ic unset
+command will disable or set to
+.Dv FALSE
+any of the specified functions.
+The values of variables may be interrogated with the
+.Ic display
+command.
+The variables which may be set or unset, but not toggled, are
+listed here.
+In addition, any of the variables for the
+.Ic toggle
+command may be explicitly set or unset using
+the
+.Ic set
+and
+.Ic unset
+commands.
+.Bl -tag -width escape
+.It Ic ayt
+If
+.Tn TELNET
+is in
+.Ic localchars
+mode, or
+.Dv LINEMODE
+is enabled, and the status character is typed, a
+.Dv TELNET AYT
+sequence (see
+.Ic send ayt
+preceding) is sent to the
+remote host.
+The initial value for the "Are You There"
+character is the terminal's status character.
+.It Ic echo
+This is the value (initially ``^E'') which, when in
+``line by line'' mode, toggles between doing local echoing
+of entered characters (for normal processing), and suppressing
+echoing of entered characters (for entering, say, a password).
+.It Ic eof
+If
+.Nm
+is operating in
+.Dv LINEMODE
+or ``old line by line'' mode, entering this character
+as the first character on a line will cause this character to be
+sent to the remote system.
+The initial value of the
+.Ic eof
+character is taken to be the terminal's
+.Ic eof
+character.
+.It Ic erase
+If
+.Nm
+is in
+.Ic localchars
+mode (see
+.Ic toggle
+.Ic localchars
+below),
+and if
+.Nm
+is operating in ``character at a time'' mode, then when this
+character is typed, a
+.Dv TELNET EC
+sequence (see
+.Ic send
+.Ic ec
+above)
+is sent to the remote system.
+The initial value for the
+.Ic erase
+character is taken to be
+the terminal's
+.Ic erase
+character.
+.It Ic escape
+This is the
+.Nm
+escape character (initially ``^['') which causes entry
+into
+.Nm
+command mode (when connected to a remote system).
+.It Ic flushoutput
+If
+.Nm
+is in
+.Ic localchars
+mode (see
+.Ic toggle
+.Ic localchars
+below)
+and the

+character is taken to be
+the terminal's
+.Ic flush
+character.
+.It Ic forw1
+.It Ic forw2
+If
+.Tn TELNET
+is operating in
+.Dv LINEMODE ,
+these are the
+characters that, when typed, cause partial lines to be

+The initial value for
+the forwarding characters are taken from the terminal's
+eol and eol2 characters.
+.It Ic interrupt
+If

+The
+.Ic slc
+command (Set Local Characters) is used to set
+or change the state of the special
+characters when the
+.Dv TELNET LINEMODE
+option has
+been enabled.
+Special characters are characters that get mapped to
+.Tn TELNET
+commands sequences (like
+.Ic ip
+or
+.Ic quit )
+or line editing characters (like
+.Ic erase
+and
+.Ic kill ) .
+By default, the local special characters are exported.
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Ic check
+Verify the current settings for the current special characters.
+The remote side is requested to send all the current special
+character settings, and if there are any discrepancies with
+the local side, the local side will switch to the remote value.
+.It Ic export
+Switch to the local defaults for the special characters.
+The local default characters are those of the local terminal at
+the time when
+.Nm
+was started.
+.It Ic import
+Switch to the remote defaults for the special characters.
+The remote default characters are those of the remote system
+at the time when the
+.Tn TELNET
+connection was established.
+.It Ic \&?
+Prints out help information for the
+.Ic slc
+command.
+.El
+.It Ic status
+Show the current status of
+.Nm telnet .
+This includes the peer one is connected to, as well
+as the current mode.
+.It Ic toggle Ar arguments Op Ar ...
+Toggle (between
+.Dv TRUE
+and
+.Dv FALSE )
+various flags that control how
+.Nm
+responds to events.
+These flags may be set explicitly to
+.Dv TRUE
+or
+.Dv FALSE
+using the
+.Ic set
+and
+.Ic unset
+commands listed above.
+More than one argument may be specified.
+The state of these flags may be interrogated with the
+.Ic display
+command.
+Valid arguments are:
+.Bl -tag -width Ar
+.It Ic authdebug
+Turns on debugging information for the authentication code.
+.It Ic autoflush
+If
+.Ic autoflush
+and
+.Ic localchars
+are both
+.Dv TRUE ,
+then when the
+.Ic ao
+or
+.Ic quit
+characters are recognized (and transformed into
+.Tn TELNET
+sequences; see
+.Ic set
+above for details),
+.Nm
+refuses to display any data on the user's terminal
+until the remote system acknowledges (via a
+.Dv TELNET TIMING MARK
+option)
+that it has processed those
+.Tn TELNET
+sequences.
+The initial value for this toggle is
+.Dv TRUE
+if the terminal user had not
+done an "stty noflsh", otherwise
+.Dv FALSE
+(see
+.Xr stty 1 ) .
+.It Ic autodecrypt
+When the
+.Dv TELNET ENCRYPT
+option is negotiated, by
+default the actual encryption (decryption) of the data
+stream does not start automatically.
+The
+.Ic autoencrypt
+.Pq Ic autodecrypt
+command states that encryption of the
+output (input) stream should be enabled as soon as
+possible.
+.Pp
+.It Ic autologin
+If the remote side supports the
+.Dv TELNET AUTHENTICATION
+option
+.Tn TELNET
+attempts to use it to perform automatic authentication.
+If the
+.Dv AUTHENTICATION
+option is not supported, the user's login
+name are propagated through the
+.Dv TELNET ENVIRON
+option.
+This command is the same as specifying
+.Ar a
+option on the
+.Ic open
+command.
+.It Ic autosynch
+If
+.Ic autosynch
+and
+.Ic localchars
+are both
+.Dv TRUE ,
+then when either the
+.Ic intr
+or
+.Ic quit
+character is typed (see
+.Ic set
+above for descriptions of the
+.Ic intr
+and
+.Ic quit
+characters), the resulting
+.Tn TELNET
+sequence sent is followed by the
+.Dv TELNET SYNCH
+sequence.
+This procedure
+.Em should
+cause the remote system to begin throwing away all previously
+typed input until both of the
+.Tn TELNET
+sequences have been read and acted upon.
+The initial value of this toggle is
+.Dv FALSE .
+.It Ic binary
+Enable or disable the
+.Dv TELNET BINARY
+option on both input and output.
+.It Ic inbinary
+Enable or disable the
+.Dv TELNET BINARY
+option on input.
+.It Ic outbinary
+Enable or disable the
+.Dv TELNET BINARY
+option on output.
+.It Ic crlf
+If this is
+.Dv TRUE ,
+then carriage returns will be sent as
+.Li <CR><LF> .
+If this is
+.Dv FALSE ,
+then carriage returns will be send as
+.Li <CR><NUL> .
+The initial value for this toggle is
+.Dv FALSE .
+.It Ic crmod
+Toggle carriage return mode.
+When this mode is enabled, most carriage return characters received from
+the remote host will be mapped into a carriage return followed by
+a line feed.
+This mode does not affect those characters typed by the user, only
+those received from the remote host.
+This mode is not very useful unless the remote host
+only sends carriage return, but never line feeds.
+The initial value for this toggle is
+.Dv FALSE .
+.It Ic debug
+Toggles socket level debugging (useful only to the superuser).
+The initial value for this toggle is
+.Dv FALSE .
+.It Ic encdebug
+Turns on debugging information for the encryption code.
+.It Ic localchars
+If this is
+.Dv TRUE ,
+then the
+.Ic flush ,
+.Ic interrupt ,
+.Ic quit ,
+.Ic erase ,
+and
+.Ic kill
+characters (see
+.Ic set
+above) are recognized locally, and transformed into (hopefully) appropriate
+.Tn TELNET
+control sequences
+(respectively
+.Ic ao ,
+.Ic ip ,
+.Ic brk ,
+.Ic ec ,
+and
+.Ic el ;
+see
+.Ic send
+above).
+The initial value for this toggle is
+.Dv TRUE
+in ``old line by line'' mode,
+and
+.Dv FALSE
+in ``character at a time'' mode.
+When the
+.Dv LINEMODE
+option is enabled, the value of
+.Ic localchars
+is ignored, and assumed to always be
+.Dv TRUE .
+If
+.Dv LINEMODE
+has ever been enabled, then
+.Ic quit
+is sent as
+.Ic abort ,
+and
+.Ic eof
+and
+.Ic suspend
+are sent as
+.Ic eof

+The initial value for this toggle is
+.Dv FALSE .
+.It Ic prettydump
+When the
+.Ic netdata
+toggle is enabled, if
+.Ic prettydump
+is enabled the output from the
+.Ic netdata
+command will be formatted in a more user readable format.
+Spaces are put between each character in the output, and the
+beginning of any
+.Tn TELNET
+escape sequence is preceded by a '*' to aid in locating them.
+.It Ic skiprc
+When the skiprc toggle is
+.Dv TRUE ,
+.Tn TELNET
+skips the reading of the
+.Pa \&.telnetrc
+file in the user's home
+directory when connections are opened.
+The initial value for this toggle is
