Hi folks,
I need to open up a telnet port from a program and write and
read to and from it. That sounds pretty common to me.
I noticed that HPUX completely lacks anything resembling telnet.h
Someone tell me that I'm having a nightmare. HPUX is weird, okay,
being an interesting mix of System V and BSD, but what is going on here?
It isn't as if telnet(1) isn't on HPUX. I use it. The problem is that
you can't
popen("telnet someplace.domain.org", "rw") because telnet writes and
reads
the tty, not stdio. I need to telnet to someplace, but I'm not about to
implement
the entire telnet protocol. I have a package of telnet routines that
would work
if it were not for that I lack <arpa/telnet.h>
I would like someone to tell me that someone has played a big
practical
joke on me, took root access for a minute, and mv'ed telnet.h to
someplace,
and now I have to go find it. RIGHT?
How, if HP did in fact leave out telnet.h, am I supposed to open
a telnet port? Has anyone wanted to do this before on an HPUX machine?
I have a 9000s370 in case that is relevant.
Thanks in advance,
Mike Gourlay
