NAME

x29stty − Set/read remote PAD parameters

SYNOPSIS

x29stty -g [-c] [parameter ...]

x29stty -s parameter:value ... 

FLAGS

-cThis flag, when specified in conjunction with the -g flag, displays all the listed PAD parameters in CCITT numeric format. 

-gThis flag gets the current values of the specified remote PAD parameters.  If no parameter list is given, the values of all PAD parameters are returned. 

-sThis flag sets values for the specified remote PAD parameters. 

DESCRIPTION

The x29stty command sets or displays the parameters of the PAD from which the user is accessing the X.25 for Digital UNIX system. 

The parameter argument may be specified by its CCITT reference number (1 to 22) or by its symbolic name.  The value argument must be specified as a number in the range 0 to 255.  If more than one parameter or parameter:value argument is specified, each argument must be separated from the next with a space. 

The following table lists the CCITT-defined reference numbers and the symbolic names recognized by the x29stty command. 

Parameter Symbolic Name Description
1 escape PAD escape key
2 echo Specifies local (PAD) or remote echo
3 forward Packet forwarding criteria
4 idle Idle delay period before forwarding packet
5 device Flow control mechanism of terminal
6 signals Format of PAD messages to terminal
7 break Actions to perform on receipt of break
8 discard Specifies PAD response to output from remote DTE
9 CRpad Number of padding characters after a <Return>
10 folding Line folding (wrapping) column
11 speed Speed of terminal connected to PAD
12 flow Flow control mechanism of PAD
13 LFinsert Line feed insertion after <Return>
14 LFpad Number of padding characters after a line feed
15 edit Specifies local (PAD) or remote line editing
16 Cdelete Character delete key
17 Ldelete Line delete key
18 Ldisplay Line re-display key
19 Esignals Way in which line-editing is displayed
20 mask Those characters which are not echoed
21 parity Parity generation/checking
22 page Specifies whether to wait after each page

By default, a successful x29stty -g command will display the PAD parameters in symbolic format.  To obtain output in CCITT numeric format, the -c flag must be specified. 

EXAMPLES

The following examples show three possible command lines to set the folding parameter to 64 (causing the PAD to insert a <Return> after the 64th character and continue the text that follows on a new line) and to set the escape parameter to 1 (causing the PAD to enter PAD Command Mode when <Ctrl/P> is pressed):

% x29stty -s 10:64 1:1
% x29stty -s folding:64 escape:1
% x29stty -s 10:64 escape:1

The following examples display the values of the LFinsert parameter (which specifies whether a line feed is sent with every <Return> and the echo parameter (which determines whether the PAD echoes the input entered at the X.29 terminal):

% x29stty -g 13 2
LFinsert:0 echo:1
 
% x29stty -g LFinsert echo
LFinsert:0 echo:1
 
% x29stty -g -c 13 2
13:0 2:1

EXIT VALUES

The exit value can be one of the following:

0Command completed successfully. 

1Syntax error in command. 

2Not running on an X.29 terminal. 

3X.29 server returned an error. 

4Remote PAD returned an error.
