X 4.7.3 Automatic Login Procedure
X
X Upon dialing from the menu, if a procedure file can be found in the
X current directory or the users home .ECU subdirectory whose name matches
X the logical name, then the procedure is executed with the argument
X '!MENU'. It is the responsibility of the automatically executed
X procedure to establish connection with the remote system (by using the
X procedure dial command). An example of an automatic login procedure can
X be found in the distribution subdirectory 'models' named 'sysname.ep'.
X A companion procedure is 'unixlogin.ep'.
X
X For example,
X
X | entry name | telephone number | tty | baud P | ...
X | sysname | 555-1234 | Any | 2400 N | ...

X 4.8 DO : perform procedure
X
X usage: do <procname> [<arg> ... ]
X
X
X Perform ECU procedure. Ecu searches for <procname>.ep in the current
X directory. If the file is not found, the program looks for the file in
X the ~/.ECU directory. One or more arguments may be passed to the
X procedure. Arguments aare made available in the called procedure by use
X of the %argc integer function and %argv string function.
X
X Unlike arguments to the do procedure command, arguments to the do
X interactive command are not quoted and may not contain embedded spaces
X or tabs.

X
X 4.9 DUplex : set/display duplex
X
X usage: duplex [ Full | Half ]
X
X
X This command specifies whether or not ECU is to locally echo characters
X typed by you at the keyboard. The overwhelming majority of remote
X systems provide the echo function, in which case full duplex must be
X used. For the rare occasions when the remote system does not echo your
X keyboard input, setting half duplex will allow you to see what you are
X typing.

X ECU Technical Description 31
X
X
X
X When communicating with another terminal in a "teletype conversation",
X setting half duplex is generally required. In such cases, use of the
X nl, nlin and nlout commands may also be required.
X
X The default setting for duplex is full.
X
X
X
X 4.10 EXit : drop carrier, exit program
X
X usage: exit
X
X
X This command terminates ECU promptly. If your modem does not drop
X carrier upon loss of Data Terminal Ready (DTR), the command will
X terminate ECU, but may leave the communications line off hook. It is
X strongly recommended that you configure your modem to hang up the phone
X line when DTR drops. A shorthand version of this command exists: '.' is
X equivalent to exit.
X
X
X
X 4.11 FI : send text file to line
X
X usage: fi [<filename>]
X
X
X "file insert": This command causes file characters to be inserted into
X the transmit data stream as though they had been entered at the
X keyboard. No error correction is provided, although XON/XOFF flow
X control is obeyed.
X
X If <filename> is not entered on the command line, a prompt for the
X filename is made. Once the filename has been entered and file has been
X opened, you are asked whether the file should be transmitted at full
X speed, by "echo pacing" or by a single line at a time. You may also
X append an 'f', 'e' or 's' argument to the command line.
X
X If your remote can tolerate it, full speed transmission is the fastest.
X Some systems are not capable of receiving large amount of data
X ("streaming data") without pauses. Even with "full" speed transmission,
X some "pacing" (inter-character delay) is introduced to ease loading on
X the remote system. Pressing the interrupt key (DEL) stops a full speed
X transmission.
X
X By specifying echo pacing, it is possible to increase the likelihood of
X proper receipt. Echo pacing reads the return data stream to attempt to
X keep from overloading the remote. Pressing the interrupt key (DEL)
X stops an echo paced transmission.
X
X As a last resort, if echo pacing is not working for you, (i.e., you are

X ECU Technical Description 32
X
X
X
X using the command in an environment where the remote does not echo your
X characters), single line at a time transmission is available. With
X "single" line transmission, you must press the space key to initiate
X sending each line. Pressing the 'ESC' or 's' key stops the transfer.
X
X
X 4.12 FKey : function key definition
X
X usage: fkey [<keyset_name>]
X
X
X This command allows the mapping of function keys F1-F12, PgUp, PgDn, End
X and Ins and the cursor up, down, left and right keys to emit a desired
X sequence of characters when a function key is pressed. <keyset_name>
X specifies which key set in ~/.ecu/keys is to be selected. Sample entry:
X
X hayes
X F1:escape:+ + +
X F2:autoans:A T S 0 = 1 cr
X F3:dial:A T D T
X bbs
X F1:cancel:^K
X F2:yes:y cr
X
X
X If a keyset_name matches a logical dial directory name, it is loaded
X when the number is dialed.
X
X The characters in the mapped string may be any printable character or
X one of the following:
X
X map -> character map -> character
X --- ----------- --- ------------
X nul 0 000 00 ^@ | dle 16 020 10 ^P

X 4.13 HAngup : hang up modem
X
X usage: hangup
X
X
X This causes DTR to be momentarily interrupted, terminating any
X outstanding connection. Your DCE (modem) must be able to drop carrier
X upon loss of DTR.
X
X
X 4.14 HElp : invoke help
X
X usage: help [<cmd-name>]
X
X
X Issuing this command with no argument displays a list of commands
X followed by a request for a command for further information.
X
X
X 4.15 LLp : set session log to /dev/lp
X
X usage: llp
X
X
X This command is a shorthand version of 'log /dev/lp'. /dev/lp must not
X be under the control of a print spooler.
X
X
X 4.16 LOFf : turn off session logging
X
X usage: loff
X
X
X This command is shorthand for 'log off'. If session logging is active,
X it is turned off.
X
X
X 4.17 LOG : session logging control
X
X usage: log [-s] [-r] [ | off | filename ]
X -s "scratch" previous file contents; otherwise append
X -r "raw" logging; otherwise non-printable characters
X other than tab and newline are omitted from the log
X
X
X This command controls session logging; issuing the command with no
X argument causes the status of session logging to be displayed. The
X special argument 'off' causes active logging to be terminated. Other
X argument values cause logging to start using the argument as a filename.
X Issuing a log command with a filename when logging is already active
X causes the previous file to be closed and the new file to be opened.

X 4.18 NL : display CR/LF mapping
X
X usage: nl
X
X
X Display the current setting of CR/LF mapping. For more information,
X refer to the nlin and nlout command descriptions.
X
X
X
X 4.19 NLIn : set receive CR/LF mapping
X
X usage: nlin [<y-n>]
X
X
X This command controls whether or not a newline (NL/LF) character is sent
X to the screen upon receipt of a carriage return (CR) from the remote
X system. Most remote computers supply a NL after CR. When communicating
X with another terminal in a "teletype conversation", this is generally
X not the case (see also the duplex command).
X
X Issuing the command without <y-n> causes the current setting to be
X displayed. The format of <y-n> is flexible: 'y' or '1' enables
X appending NL to CR, 'n' or '0' causes the feature to be disabled.
X
X
X
X 4.20 NLOut : set transmit CR/LF mapping
X
X usage: nlout [<y-n>]
X
X
X This command controls whether or not a newline (NL/LF) character is sent
X to the remote system upon transmission of a carriage return (CR) entered
X by the keyboard. Most remote computers do not require (indeed
X "dislike") a NL after CR. When communicating with another terminal in a
X "teletype conversation", this is generally not the case (see also the
X duplex command).
X
X Issuing the command without <y-n> causes the current setting to be
X displayed. The format of <y-n> is flexible: 'y' or '1' enables
X appending NL to CR, 'n' or '0' causes the feature to be disabled.

X 4.21 OA : octal to ascii char
X
X usage: oa [<octal-val>]
X
X
X <octal-val> is a octal value between 0 and 0377; the parity (sign) bit
X is stripped and the equivalent ASCII character value is displayed.
X
X If no argument is supplied, a table of control characters is printed
X containing decimal, octal, hex, ASCII identifiers and two-character
X control character identifier.
X
X
X
X 4.22 PARity : set/display line parity
X
X usage: parity [ None | Even | Odd ]
X
X
X This command controls the parity of characters transmitted by the
X keyboard. Issuing the command with no argument displays the current
X setting. When the argument is supplied, only the first character is
X required. Even or odd parity implies seven data bits; no parity implies
X eight data bits. Parity of incoming characters is not checked.
X
X The setting may be automatically changed as the result of an interactive
X or procedure dial command. See the baud and dial command descriptions.
X
X
X
X 4.23 PId : display process ids
X
X usage: pid
X
X
X This command displays the process id of the ECU transmitter process, the
X ECU receiver process and the process ids of ECU's parent and group.

X 4.25 PTrace : control procedure trace
X
X usage: ptrace [ 0 | 1 | on | off]
X
X
X This command controls whether or not procedure execution is to be
X traced. Trace output is written to the screen and varys in its nature
X depending upon the command being traced. Specifically, any change to a
X string or integer variable is noted. If tracing is enabled, the output
X will also be written to the procedure log file (see the interactive and
X procedure commands). Issuing the command with no argument shows current
X status.
X
X
X 4.26 PWd : print working directory
X
X usage: pwd
X
X
X This command prints the current working directory of the ECU process.
X
X
X
X 4.27 REDial : redial last number
X
X usage: redial [<retry-count> [<pause-interval>]]
X
X
X This command redials a number previously dialed with the 'dial' command.
X Modem status is tested and multiple retries may be made. <retry-count>
X specifies how many retries are to be made. <pause-interval> specifies
X how many seconds the program pauses after a failure to connect. You
X must specify <retry-count> in order to specify <pause-interval>. The
X default value for <retry-count> is 10, for <pause-interval> is 60.
X
X You should know that in some jurisdictions, it is ILLEGAL to dial the
X same telephone number more than a specified number of times during some
X interval of time. In any case, a <pause-interval> less than 15 seconds
X is silently changed to 15 seconds.
X
X
X 4.28 REV : ECU revision/make date

X
X
X This command controls the RTS/CTS flow control feature of the SCO
X UNIX/XENIX line driver (which may or may not work). If no argument is
X supplied, the current setting is displayed. Specifying 0 or n disables
X the facility; 1 or y causes RTS/CTS flow control to be enabled.
X
X What the command does is to manipulate the RTSFLOW and CTSFLOW bits of

X 5. Procedure Language
X
X
X Sample procedures are shown in the companion document 'samplproc.man'.
X
X
X
X 5.1 Arguments
X
X
X There are five types of arguments to procedure commands:
X
X Switch
X Alphabetic Token
X Integer
X String
X Relational Operators
X
X This section describes the syntax and construction of each type in turn.
X There are separate groups of valid of relational operators for integers
X and strings; thus, they are described under the appropriate sections.
X
X
X 5.1.1 Switches
X
X Switch arguments begin with a hyphen (minus, '-'). The switch argument
X must be the first argument after the command. Only one switch argument
X is allowed on the command line. If switches '-a', '-b' and '-c', are
X available and '-a' and '-b' are desired, '-ab' or '-ba' is entered.
X
X
X 5.1.2 Alphabetic Tokens
X
X Alphabetic tokens, for lack of a better term, are non-integer, non-
X quoted terms used as arguments for certain commands, such as:
X
X plog off
X
X Such argument types are fairly simple to understand and use; they are
X described here for completeness.
X
X
X 5.1.3 Integers
X
X Integer values are 32-bit quantities ranging between -2147483647 and
X 2147483647.
X
X In one case, an integer is used to store a 32-bit color mask as
X described by the color command and the %colors integer function.

X
X
X
X 5.1.3.1 Constants
X
X Integer constants are numeric strings, optionally with an initial minus
X sign, the absolue value of which must be less than 2147483648.
X
X
X 5.1.3.2 Variables
X
X There are 50 numbered, permanent integer variables referenced by the
X terms '$i0' through '$i49'. When ECU is started, the value of each
X variable is zero. Variables retain their value until changed, even
X between procedure executions. The integer variable number may be
X expressed as an expression by enclosing an integer expression in
X brackets. For instance:
X
X $i[4+5] refers to $i9
X
X $i2=5
X $i[20+$i2] refers to $i25
X
X
X Integer variables may be created for use as "local" variables or to
X promote code readability. Refer to the mkvar command.
X
X
X 5.1.3.3 Functions
X
X ECU has many built-in functions which return the value of ecu- or
X system-related information. A list of the functions appears in a later
X section.
X
X
X 5.1.3.4 Expressions
X
X In almost any place an integer argument is allowed, an expression may be
X supplied. Expressions are composed of two or more integer constants or
X variables separated by operators from the group:
X
X + addition
X - subtraction
X * multiplication
X / division
X | OR
X @ MOD
X ^ XOR
X & AND
X
X Evaluation of expressions is left-to-right. Parentheses are not
X allowed.

X 5.1.3.5 Relational Operators
X
X Integer relational operators are chosen from the following group:
X
X = "is equal to"
X == "is equal to"
X != "is not equal to"
X <> "is not equal to"
X > "is greater than"
X < "is greater than"
X >= "is greater than or equal to"
X <= "is less than or equal to"
X
X
X
X 5.1.4 Strings
X
X Strings are classic concatenations of zero or more eight-bit characters.
X In general, the maximum size of a string used by ECU is 256 characters.
X The absolute maximum size is 5120 characters.
X
X
X 5.1.4.1 Constants
X
X String constants are formed by placing alphanumeric characters between
X single quote characters (apostrophes). The backslash ('\') character is
X used to "escape" certains characters:
X
X '\' one backslash
X '0 newline
X '' tab
X ''' apostrophe
X
X
X
X 5.1.4.2 Variables
X
X There are 50 numbered, permanent string variables referenced by the
X terms '$s0' through '$s49', each possessing a maximum length of 256
X characters When ECU is started, the value of each variable is null (zero
X length). Variables retain their value until changed, even between
X procedure executions. The string variable number may be expressed as an
X expression by enclosing an string expression in brackets. For instance:
X
X $s[4+5] refers to $s9
X
X $s2=5
X $s[20+$s2] refers to $s25

X promote code readability. Refer to the mkvar command. Created variables
X have a life equal to the duration of the procedure which created them.
X Regardless of the declared size of a created string variable, ECU will
X automatically grow it to a maximum of 5120 characters as necessary.
X Numbered (permanent) string variables have a maximum size of 256 bytes.
X
X
X 5.1.4.3 Functions
X
X ECU has many built-in functions which return the value of ecu- or
X system-related information. A list of the functions appears in a later
X section.
X
X
X 5.1.4.4 Expressions
X
X String expressions are formed by the concatenation of string constants,
X variables and function return values using the '+' operator:
X
X Example:
X 'The quick brown fox jumped over the '+$s0'+' dog at '+%time
X
X
X
X 5.1.4.5 Relational Operators

X usage: color -r <reverse-foreground> [<reverse-background>]
X
X
X This command changes the current normal or reverse video colors in a
X manner similar to the setcolor(C) command. It has no effect on systems
X using a monochrome monitor. If the second (background) color is
X omitted, it is assumed to be black.
X
X The command also forces normal video mode. Refer to the vidnorm and
X vidrev commands. Refer also to the vidcolor command.

X
X 5.2.8 cursor
X
X usage: cursor <row> [<col>]
X
X This command places the cursor at a specified position on the video
X screen. The top left of the scrren is row 0, column 0. If <col> is not
X specified, it is assumed 0 (left margin).
X
X Example:

X usage: delline
X
X This command deletes the current line from the video display.
X
X
X 5.2.10 dial
X
X usage: dial <remote>
X
X This command causes an outgoing call to be placed. The string argument
X <remote> can take one of two forms: a numeric telephone number or an
X alphanumeric "logical" number or system name.
X
X A numeric phone number ('1(800)555-1212' or '2345678') must begin with a
X digit and must consist entirely of digits, parentheses or hyphens. If a
X telephone number is supplied, the phone number is dialed; you must first
X have set the desired baud rate and parity using the 'baud' and 'parity'
X commands.
X
X If a logical name is entered, the phone directory (managed by the
X interactive dial command) is searched; if the entry is found, the baud
X rate and parity is automatically set from values in the directory entry;
X then, the number in the directory entry is dialed.
X
X See the section on the interactive "Dial" command and the section titled
X "Choosing a Dialout Line" for more information.
X
X When the dial command returns, integer variable $i0 is set to a status
X code and string variable $s0 has a text message (the modem verbal result
X code if the ECU dialer is used, a representation of the return status
X code if a uucp dialer is used [see below]).
X
X Dial Command $i0 Status Codes
X
X 0 successful connect
X 1 failed to connect (call progress)
X 2 dial interrupted by signal

X
X 5.2.11 do
X
X usage: do <procname> [<arg> ...]
X
X This command executes a procedure whose name appears as the command's
X first (string) argument. One or more arguments (up to 19) may be passed
X to the called procedure; an argument may consist of any valid string
X expression, provided, that, when expanded, the argument does not exceed
X 256 characters in length.
X
X The called procedure may read its arguments using the %argv string
X function. %argv(0) is the name of the procedure. The quantity of
X arguments may be obtained using the %argc integer function.
X
X
X Example:
X
X do 'proc' %rname %date+' '+%time %argv(0)
X
X Note: in this example, the called procedure is passed the name
X of the calling procedure as the last argument.

X
X
X ECU Technical Description 53
X
X
X
X usage: duplex full | half
X duplex 'full' | 'half'
X
X
X This command specifies whether or not ECU is to locally echo characters
X typed by you at the keyboard. The overwhelming majority of remote
X systems provide the echo function, in which case full duplex must be
X used. For the rare occasions when the remote system does not echo your
X keyboard input, setting half duplex will allow you to see what you are
X typing.
X
X When communicating with another terminal in a "teletype conversation",
X setting half duplex is generally required. In such cases, use of the
X interactive nl, nlin and nlout commands may also be required.
X
X Example:
X
X duplex full
X $s0 = 'full'; duplex $s0
X
X
X
X
X 5.2.13 echo
X
X usage: echo [-n] <string>
X
X This command prints the contents of the string argument <string> on the
X screen. If the -n switch is not present, a newline follows the output
X of <string>.
X
X Example:
X
X echo 'Procedure '+%argv(0)+' executing at '+%time
X echo -n 'Enter your first name: '; $s0 = %cgets
X
X
X
X 5.2.14 eeol

X
X This command erases the video display to the end of the line.
X
X

X
X For the purposes of describing this command, <statement> is any single
X or compound statement NOT containing a whilei or whiles command. If you
X wish to have a while-type command executed as part of an else condition,
X the while must occur within braces ("{}").

X
X usage: exit [<status>]
X
X This command causes an abrupt termination of the ECU program. Any
X existing connection with a remote system is terminated immediately. If
X no integer argument <status> is found, ECU exits with a program exit
X status of 0. If <status> is found and the value is zero, then ECU exits
X with a program exit status of 0. If <status> non-zero,its value must be
X in the range of 1 to 31, and ECU exits with a program exit status of 192
X plus <status>. This feature allows batch executions of ECU by shell
X script detect user-determined ECU execution status. See the section
X titled "Exit Codes".

X 5.2.17 expresp
X
X usage: expresp [-v[v...]] <exp-resp-str> [<timeout_msecs>]
X
X This command emulates the uuchat function as described in the SCO HDB
X UUCP documentation and in the /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers file.
X
X -v causes the expect-respond conversation between ECU and the remote
X system to be displayed on the screen. This switch is automatically
X enabled if procdedure tracing is enabled.
X
X multiple v's (e.g., -vv, -vvv) up to 3 'v's produce more verbose debug
X output. -vv causes each base level expect and respond string to be
X displayed. -vvv causes a hexadecimal dump of each interpreted expect
X string to be displayed.
X
X <exp-resp-str> is as defined in /usr/lib/ecu/Dialers.
X
X Meaning of some of the escape characters:
X - pause (approximately 1/4-1/2 second delay)
X
X - delay (2 seconds)
X D - phone number/token
X T - phone number with Dialcodes and character translation
X N - null byte
X K - insert a BREAK
X E - turn on echo checking (for slow devices)
X \--carriagefreturnchecking
X - send new-line
X n - send octal number
X m## - delay ## milliseconds (NOT SUPPORTED BY DIALERS;
X SEE BELOW)
X ~t[##] - set timeout to ## seconds (see below)
X ~m[##] - set timeout to ## milliseconds (see below)
X Speed - Hayes-specific speed-adaptive connect handler
X
X
X <timeout_msecs> specifies an optional timeout in milliseconds for
X waiting on expect strings; it defaults to 10,000 milliseconds (10
X seconds). The resolution for timeouts is limited to the basic tick time
X of your system (HZ, 10 msec for UNIX/386, 20 msec for XENIX/386 and
X XENIX/286). The timeout for 'Speed' expects is fixed at 90 seconds.
X
X \m### causes a ### millisecond delay. Note this adds an ambiguity to
X the syntax of the send string: you may not follow an m delay with a
X literal digit to send. For example, suppose you wish to delay 300
X missileconds then send "4A". \m3004A will delay for 3004
X (approximately) milliseconds, then send an "A".
X
X Integer variable $i0 is set to one if the expect-respond script fails,
X else it is set to 0.

X 5.2.18 fchmod
X
X usage: fchmod <mode> <file>
X
X This command sets the mode of <file> to <mode>. The <mode> argument
X takes one of two forms, a nine-character mode string (e.g., 'rwxr-xr-x')
X or an integer value (0755). The <file> argument is either a string
X value forming a filename or an integer file number representing a file
X opened with the fopen command.
X
X The command sets $i0 = 0 if successful, else to the errno from the
X associated system call (refer to the %errstr string function and/or
X /usr/include/sys/errno.h).
X
X
X Example:
X
X fopen 1 '/tmp/123'; fchmod 'rwxrwxrwx' 1
X fchmod 'rwxrwxrwx' '/tmp/123'
X fopen 1 '/tmp/123'; fchmod 0777 1

X 5.2.19 fclose
X
X usage: fclose <file>

X 5.2.21 fgetc
X
X usage: fgetc <file> <destination>
X
X This command reads a character from <file>. The <file> argument is an
X integer file number representing a file opened with the fopen command.
X
X The argument <destination> is either a string variable or an integer
X variable. If the file has reached end of file: an integer variable
X receives -1; a string variable is returned null. Otherwise, the
X character's numeric value (0-255) is placed in an integer variable or a
X string variable is returned with a length of one with the file character
X as its only character.
X
X
X Example:
X
X fgetc 1 $s0
X fgetc 1 $i_input
X
X
X
X 5.2.22 fgets
X
X usage: fgets <file> <strvar>
X
X This command reads a character from <file>. The <file> argument is an
X integer file number representing a file opened with the fopen command.
X
X The argument <strvar> is a string variable. If the file has reached end
X of file, <strvar> is returned null and integer variable $i0 is set to 1.
X Otherwise, the <strvar> receives input from the file minus the trailing
X newline and $i0 is returned zero.

X
X usage: fkey <str>
X
X This command selects a function key definition from the ~/.ecu/keys
X file.
X
X
X 5.2.24 flush
X
X usage: flush
X
X This command causes any characters received by the system from the line,
X but not yet read by the procedure to be "forgotten" or flushed.
X
X
X 5.2.25 fopen
X usage: fopen [-switches] <filenum> <filename>
X
X This command opens a file named by the string argument <filename> and
X associates it with the user-chosen file number <filenum> (which must be
X an integer value between 0 and 4, inclusive).
X
X The argument switches govern how a file is opened and must be chosen
X from this list:
X
X -r The file is opened read-only; if it does not exist, an
X error occurs.
X
X -r+ The file is opened for reading and writing; if it does
X not exist, an error occurs.
X
X -w The file is opened for writing (any previous contents of
X the file are lost); if it does not exist, it is created.
X
X -w+ The file is opened for reading and writing (any previous
X contents of the file are lost); if it does not exist, it
X is created.
X
X -a The file is opened for appending (writes to the file are
X added to the previous file contents); if it does not
X exist, it is created. All writes are appended to the
X file (the fseek command has no effect).
X
X The switches parameter may be omitted; in such cases, the file is opened
X as though '-r' had been supplied. However, if procedure tracing is
X enabled (see the description of the interactive and procedure command
X ptrace), a warning message will be issued.
X
X The command sets $i0 = 0 if successful, else to the errno from the
X associated system call (refer to the %errstr string function and/or

X
X
X 5.2.26 fputc
X
X usage: fputc <file> <char>
X
X This command writes character <char> into <file>. The <file> argument
X is an integer file number representing a file opened with the fopen
X command. Argument <char> is a integer value of which the lower eight
X bits are used or a string value of which the first character is used.
X
X If a write error occurs, procedure execution is terminated.
X
X Example:
X
X $s0='abc'; fputc 1 $s0 writes 'a'
X $i0=0x30 ; fputc 1 $i0 writes '0'
X
X
X
X 5.2.27 fputs
X
X usage: fputs [-n] <file> <str>
X
X This command writes the string <str> into <file>. The <file> argument
X is an integer file number representing a file opened with the fopen
X command.
X
X If the switch '-n' is omitted, a newline is appended after <str> in the
X file; if present, no newline is written.
X
X If a write error occurs, procedure execution is terminated.
X
X Example:
X
X $s0='abc'; fputc 1 $s0 writes 'a'

X
X
X
X This command sets the file position of <file> to <position. The
X corresponding integer function %ftell may be used to determine the
X current file position.
X
X Note: if <file> is open for append ('-a'), then the fseek command will
X have no effect.
X
X
X 5.2.29 getf
X
X
X usage: getf -x <int-var-spec> <offset>
X
X where: -x ==
X -b byte
X -w word (little-endian)
X -W word (big-endian)
X -l 32-bits (little-endian)
X -L 32-bits (big-endian)

X 5.2.30 gosub
X
X usage: gosub <label>
X
X This command transfers control of procedure to a statement other than
X the one immediately following. The <label> argument may be literal text
X or may be a string, allowing a "computed gosub" feature.
X
X When the next return statement is executed, control is returned to the
X next statement after the gosub.

X
X Note: all the above examples cause transfer to the label GET_NEXT.

X 5.2.31 gosubb
X
X usage: gosubb <label>
X
X This command serves the same function as the gosub command except the
X programmer is signifying that the label is behind the current statement,
X resulting in slightly faster execution. (The label is not REQUIRED to
X be at any specific location in the procedure relative to the gosubb
X statement.)

X
X
X 5.2.34 hangup
X
X usage: hangup
X
X This command causes Data Terminal Ready (DTR) to be dropped momentarily,
X causing (hopefully) the termination of any current connection to a
X remote system. This command is only effective if the attached Data
X Communications Equipment is configured to terminate its connection on
X loss of DTR.
X
X If no line is attached, the command is ignored (a warning is generated
X if procedure tracing is enabled).

X
X <str> buf to dump <str1> title (if -t) -s short (terse) dump
X
X This command prints a hexadecimal dump of <str> on the screen (and to
X the procedure log file, if logging enabled with the ptrace command).
X
X The switch '-t' signifies that <str1> is a title to be printed
