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 char‐
		   acter, which is “~” by default.  This specification may be
		   as a literal character, or as an octal value in the form
		   \nnn.

     -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 ser‐
		   vice “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 session,
     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.

ENVIRONMENT
     The following environment variable is used by rlogin:

     TERM  Determines the user's terminal type.

SEE ALSO
     rcmd(1), rsh(1), rcmd(3), hosts.equiv(5), rhosts(5), environ(7)

HISTORY
     The rlogin command appeared in 4.2BSD.

BUGS
     More of the environment should be propagated.
