Example

Assume you are working with a remote system in character input mode, and you want to erase
the characters you have entered on a line. In this example, the remote system prompt is a dollar
sign ($):

$ cp outk Enter escape character.
telnet> send el Send erase line sequence.
$ Remote system erases line.

status

Use the status command to display the name of the remote system to which you are connected,
the current input mode, and the current escape character.

status

Example

To display the status, enter the following command:

telnet> status
Connected to dist100.
Operating in character-at-a-time mode.
Escape character is '^]'.

Argument

Determines whether output is flushed
when you send interrupt (intr)

characters. If both autoflush and
localchars are on when you enter the
ao, intr, or quit character, TELNET does
not display any data until the remote
system acknowledges (with a TELNET
Timing Mark option) that it has
processed the TELNET sequence you
sent.

Determines whether the TELNET SYNCH
sequence is sent. If both autosynch and

off

autosynch

localchars are on when you enter an
intr character, TELNET sends the
SYNCH sequence and previously typed
data is flushed.

Controls carriage return mode (crmod).
When crmod is on, carriage return

off
