.TH LLOGIN 1 "January 3 2002" "LAT utilities"
.SH NAME
llogin \- Connect to a LAT service
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B llogin
[options] service
.br
Options:
.br
[\-dvcpblhQ] [\-H node] [\-R port] [-n name] [-w password | -W] [\-q quit char]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
llogin connects your terminal to a LAT service via latd, the service name
must be known to latd for this to work.
.br
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.I "\-d"
Shows learned services. This is the same as latcp -d -l
.TP
.I "\-d \-v"
Verbose form of -d. -v without -d is ignored.
.TP
.I "\-H <node>"
Remote nodename. If the service is advertised by more than one node and you
want to connect to a particular node then use this switch. By default
you will be connected to the node with the highest rating.
.TP
.I "\-R <port>"
Connect to a specific port on (usually) a terminal server. This is the port
NAME on the server and not the port number.
.TP
.I "\-c"
Do not convert typed LF to CR. By default the enter key generates LF and
llogin converts it CR as it is the most generically useful translation.
This switch will cause the enter key to send LF instead. Occasionally
useful for connecting to Unix consoles.
.TP
.I "\-b"
Convert typed DEL to BS. By default the DEL key (keyboard, top right usually)
send DEL (ASCII 0x7f) to the remote system. This switch will cause the DEL
key to send BS (ASCII 8) instead. Useful for some Unix systems connected
via terminal servers.
.TP
.I "\-l"
Convert output LF to VT. By default LF output is sent as CRLF which can
cause output formatting problems. Changing this to VT should preserve the
output formatting on most devices or terminal emulators.
.TP
.I "\-q <char>"
Change the quit character. By default CTRL-] will quit the terminal
session. Entering a character after -q will cause CTRL-<char> to be the quit
character for that session. -q0 will disable the quit character. If you use
the latter, make sure you are connecting to a service that will disconnect
you when you log out or you will have to kill llogin from another session to
get out of it!
.TP
.I "\-Q"
Tells latd that the service you are connecting to is queued service and not a
normal login service or port service. Unfortunately latd cannot tell whether
a remote service needs to be queued or not so the onus is on the user to
specify this switch when connecting to a queued service.
.TP
.I "\-n <name>"
Sets the local connection name. By default this will be your local TTY name.
In most cases this simply affects the display of the terminal on the remote end
so you shouldn't need to change it.
.TP
.I "\-w <password>"
Sends the password for the service. Only needed for services that require
a password for access. If the password given is "-" then you will be prompted
for a password and it will not be echoed. This avoids having passwords
visible on the screen.
.TP
.I "\-W"
Prompts for the service password. This is the same as -w- (see above).
.TP
.I "\-p"
Tells llogin to connect to the device named instead of a LAT service. This
would usually be a /dev/lat pseudo-terminal but could be any other device
you like really. This switch does not make the program useful as a terminal
program because there is no way to set any serial parameters, nor am I going
to add them. This is just a convenient way to use the /dev/lat ports without
the overhead of programs such as minicom.
.TP
.I "\-h"
Displays a brief usage description. This is the same as invoking llogin
without any parameters at all.
