dkcu – call another host

[ – s ] [ – f ] [ – d ] [ – v ] [ – x ] destination

dials another UNIX System, a terminal, or possibly a non-UNIX System.  It

manages an interactive conversation with possible transfers of

ASCII

files.

It places a call to the destination host or terminal on the data switch network.
Several options are supported by dkcu:

–

Suppresses the "Circuit Open" and other non-error messages.

–

Forces a dkcu even if the user came in as a remote executor.

–

Used to get tracing and diagnostic output.

–

Local environment variables may be passed from the calling host to the desti-
nation host by listing them in the local environment variable DKEXPORT
(such as, ’DKEXPORT=TERM,LINES,COLUMNS’). When using this
option, the destination should be appended by ’rl’ and ’vt’ flags (such as,
’dkcu - 

destination.rl.vt’) and the user should be authorized [see

authorize(1M)] on the destination host.

–

Requests that XON/XOFF output flow control be done locally; otherwise,
XON/XOFF characters are passed through to the destination.

After making the connection, dkcu runs as two processes: the transmit process
reads data from standard input and, except for lines beginning with ’˜’, passes it to
the remote system.  The receive process accepts data from the remote system and,
except for lines beginning with ’˜’, passes it to standard output.  Lines beginning
with ’˜’ have special meanings.

The transmit process interprets the following:

Terminate the conversation.  If the program on the remote

host isn’t reading input, typing the QUIT character twice,
rapidly, will break the connection.

Escape to an interactive shell on the local system.

Run cmd on the local system (via ’sh – c’).

Run cmd locally and send its output as standard input to the
remote system for execution.

from [ to ] Copy 

file from (on the remote system) to file to on the local

system. If to is omitted, the from argument is used in both
places.
