rexec(3x)							     rexec(3x)

Name
       rexec - return stream to a remote command

Syntax
       rem = rexec(ahost, inport, user, passwd, cmd, fd2p);
       char **ahost;
       u_short inport;
       char *user, *passwd, *cmd;
       int *fd2p;

Description
       The  subroutine looks up the host *ahost using returning -1 if the host
       does not exist.	For further information, see Otherwise *ahost  is  set
       to  the standard name of the host.  If a username and password are both
       specified, then these are used to authenticate to the foreign host.  If
       all this fails, the user is prompted for the information.

       The  port  inport specifies which well-known DARPA Internet port to use
       for the connection; it will normally be the  value  returned  from  the
       call  ``getservbyname("exec",  "tcp")''.	  For further information, see
       The protocol for connection is described in detail in

       If the call succeeds, a socket of type SOCK_STREAM is returned  to  the
       caller and given to the remote command as stdin and stdout.  If fd2p is
       nonzero, then an auxiliary channel to a control process will be set up,
       and  a  descriptor for it will be placed in *fd2p.  The control process
       will return diagnostic output from the command (unit 2) on this channel
       and  will  also	accept bytes on this channel as being UNIX signal num‐
       bers, to be forwarded to the process group of the command.  If fd2p  is
       0, then the stderr (unit 2 of the remote command) will be made the same
       as the stdout and no provision is made for sending arbitrary signals to
       the  remote  process,  although you may be able to get its attention by
       using out-of-band data.
