:Info: set: Kermit Set Command Syntax: set - or - set This command allows the user to set various parameters that determin kermit's behavior. Settings are retained between invocations during a process except for the current directory and the setting of the trace option which defaults to off. The may be one of send, receive or rec. Parameters for this syntax take the form: PACKET-LENGTH Sets packet length PADDING Sets number of padding characters PADCHAR Set the padding character to TIMEOUT Sets max time to wait for a packet END-OF-LINE End of line character to use on packets QUOTE Sets quote character, send group only. The second syntax allows the following: DELAY Sets initial delay to n seconds on send. DIR Sets current directory to that specified. FILE-WARNING, FW {on | off} Determines if file overwrite will be checked. MODES Sets terminal modes for file transfer. PARITY {on | off} Allows parity quoting if the other end agrees. REPEAT {on | off} Allows repeat quoting if the other end agrees. TRACE {on | off} Determines if packets will be logged in a trace file. TEXT {on | off} If on stops adding chars to a file when a CTRL-Z is received. When off, Binary mode is in effect. CHECKTYPE Sets the checksum type. n may be any of 1, 2 or 3. 1 is standard, 2 is a double byte and 3 is a crc code. :Info: server: Kermit Server Mode Syntax: server This command puts the Multics kermit into server mode. After executing this command, the Multics kermit will expect to receive its commands from the remote computer using special format command packets. Further terminal input will be ignored. Upon execution of a FINISH command at the remote end, server mode will terminate and Multics kermit will return to the request loop. :Info: help: Kermit Help Syntax: help [] ? [] When help is issued without parameters it will print a list of available commands. It may also be issued with the name of a command for a short description of the command, its parameters and its actions. No control args are currently supported for the help command. :Info: show: Kermit Show Command Syntax: show [] When the show command is invoked without any parameters, its default action is to display the status of all settable options. When it is invoked with a parameter, it will display only that option or option group. Only one parameter is allowed on the show command. The parameter may be chosen from: SEND, RECEIVE, REC, DELAY, FILE-WARNING, FW, TRACE, DIR, REPEAT, PARITY, MODES, TEXT or CHECKTYPE. Send, receive and rec yield the current values of the send or receive option groups. Delay is the delay time before sending begins. File- warning, or fw, shows whether or not the file warning switch has been turned on. Trace is the status of the trace facility. Dir is the current directory. Parity and repeat show the status of parity and repeat switches respectively. Modes are the terminal modes used for file transfer. Text is the transfer mode for reception. Checktype is the type of checksum to use during transfer. :Info: status: Kermit Status Command Syntax: status The status command will print out the name of the last file transferred, the total number of packets required to effect the transfer and the number of retries that were necessary. :Info: exec: Kermit Command Escape Mechanism Syntax: e exec .. This command passes a command line to the Multics command processor. All three versions are equivalent. The command line does not have to be enclosed in quotes. :Info: send: Kermit Send Command Syntax: send The pathname may be a starname matching multiple segments. In this case they are transferred one at a time. The target of must exist. If only an entryname is specified, it is assumed to be in the current directory, NOT the working directory. Kermit will display an OK on the terminal and wait for a preset time before sending the first packet. The delay defaults to 8 seconds, but may be changed with the set delay n command. Kermit will return to the request loop when all files have been transferred. Kermit will also return to the request loop if an unrecoverable error occurs during transmission. Status of the transmission may be observed with the status command. :Info: receive: Kermit Receive Command Syntax: receive [] If pathname is not specified, the entryname is taken from info transmitted from the source computer. It will be lower cased and the segment placed in the current directory. If pathname is specified, it may be any legal Multics pathname. If a relative or absolute pathname is specified, it overrides the current directory. If only an entryname is specified it is placed in the cureent directory. The current directory defaults to the working directory at the time kermit was invoked. It may be changed with the set dir command. Kermit will display an OK on the terminal when it is ready to receive a file and then wait for the initial packet from the source computer. Kermit will return to the request loop on completion of transfer. More than one file may be transferred during one session. Transmission errors may be observed using the status command. :Info: kermit: Kermit Info 1/20/84 kermit Available commands: send receive [] show [] status set help, ? [] exec, e, .. . server
