NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       telnetrc,  .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet
 session

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       $HOME/.telnetrc

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The .telnetrc file contains the setup  information  for  a
       telnet  session.   It is a hidden file in your home directory
 and must be readable by the user logging in.

       The file can consist of multiple entries for  each  remote
       host  to  which  a  user can connect.  A remote host entry
       consists of multiple lines.  The first line is the name of
       a  remote host. The subsequent lines must begin with blank
       spaces, and contain telnet subcommands.  These subcommands
       are processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines
       beginning with a number sign (#) are comment  lines.   See
       telnet(1) for a complete list of telnet subcommands.

       To  specify  subcommands that apply to all systems, create
       an entry, using the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and
       specify the telnet subcommands in the subsequent lines.
