X
X.*s 3 "dial"
X
Xusage: dial <remote>
X
XThis command causes an outgoing call to be placed. The string
Xargument <remote> can take one of two forms: a numeric telephone
Xnumber or an alphanumeric "logical" number or system name.
X
XA numeric phone number ('1(800)555-1212' or '2345678') must begin
Xwith a digit and must consist entirely of digits, parentheses
Xor hyphens.
XIf a telephone number is supplied, the phone number is
Xdialed; you must first have set the desired baud rate and
Xparity using the 'baud' and 'parity' commands.
X
XIf a logical name is entered, the phone directory (managed by
Xthe interactive
X.B dial
Xcommand) is searched;
Xif the entry is found, the baud rate and parity
Xis automatically set from values in the directory entry; then,
Xthe number in the directory entry is dialed.
X
XWhen the
X.B dial
Xcommand returns, integer variable $i0 is set to a status code
Xand string variable $s0 has a text message (the modem verbal
Xresult code if the ecu dialer is used, a representation of
Xthe return status code if a uucp dialer is used [see below]).

X
X.*s 3 "do"
X
Xusage: do <procname> [<arg> ...]
X
XThis command executes a procedure whose name appears as the command's
Xfirst (string) argument. One or more arguments (up to 19) may be passed
Xto the called procedure; an argument may consist of any valid string
Xexpression, provided, that, when expanded, the argument does not
Xexceed 256 characters in length.
X
XThe called procedure may read its arguments using the
X.B %argv
Xstring function. %argv(0) is the name of the procedure.
XThe quantity of arguments may be obtained using the
X.B %argc
Xinteger function.
X
X.DS L
XExample:
X
X do 'proc' %rname %date+' '+%time %argv(0)
X
XNote: in this example, the called procedure is passed the name
Xof the calling procedure as the last argument.
X.DE
X
X.*s 3 "duplex"
X
X.DS L
Xusage: duplex full | half
X duplex 'full' | 'half'
X.DE
X
XThis command specifies whether or not ecu is to locally echo
Xcharacters typed by you at the keyboard. The overwhelming
Xmajority of remote systems provide the echo function, in
Xwhich case full duplex must be used. For the rare occasions
Xwhen the remote system does not echo your keyboard input,
Xsetting half duplex will allow you to see what you are
Xtyping.
X
XWhen communicating with another terminal in a "teletype
Xconversation", setting half duplex is generally required.
XIn such cases, use of the interactive
X.B nl ,
X.B nlin
Xand
X.B nlout
Xcommands may also be required.
X.DS L
XExample:
X
X duplex full
X $s0 = 'full'; duplex $s0
X.DE
X
X
X.*s 3 "echo"
X
Xusage: echo [-n] <string>
X
XThis command prints the contents of the string argument <string>
Xon the screen. If the -n switch is not present, a newline follows
Xthe output of <string>.

X.DE
X
XThis statement may follow an
X.B ifi
Xor
X.B ifs
Xcommand to specify one or more statements to be executed if
Xthe if-type command condition is false. Else commands may be
Xchained together in the traditional structured language manner.
X
XFor the purposes of describing this command, <statement> is
Xany single or compound statement
X.B NOT
Xcontaining a
X.B whilei
Xor
X.B whiles
Xcommand.
XIf you wish to have a while-type command executed as part of an
X.B else
Xcondition, the while must occur within braces ("{}").
X
X<if> is an
X.B ifi
Xor
X.B ifs
Xcommand followed by an <if-condition> (see the description of the

X.*s 3 "exit"
X
Xusage: exit [<status>]
X
XThis command causes an abrupt termination of the ecu program.
XAny existing connection with a remote system
Xis terminated immediately.
XIf no integer argument <status> is found, ecu exits
Xwith a program exit status of 0.
XIf <status> is found and the value is zero, then ecu exits
Xwith a program exit status of 0.
XIf <status> non-zero,its value must be in the range of 1 to 31,
Xand ecu exits
Xwith a program exit status of 192 plus <status>.
XThis feature allows batch executions of ecu by shell script
Xand ECU procedure to detect ECU execution status.
X
X
X.*s 3 "fchmod"
X
Xusage: fchmod <mode> <file>
X
XThis command sets the mode of <file> to <mode>.
XThe <mode> argument takes one of two forms, a nine-character
Xmode string (e.g., 'rwxr-xr-x') or an integer value (0755).
XThe <file> argument is either a string value forming a
Xfilename or an integer file number representing a file opened with the
X.B fopen
Xcommand.
X
XThe command sets $i0 = 0 if successful, else to the
X.B errno
Xfrom the associated system call (refer to the
X.B %errstr
Xstring function and/or /usr/include/sys/errno.h).
X
X.DS L
XExample:
X
X fopen 1 '/tmp/123'; fchmod 'rwxrwxrwx' 1
X fchmod 'rwxrwxrwx' '/tmp/123'
X fopen 1 '/tmp/123'; fchmod 0777 1

X.B fopen
Xcommand.
X
XThe argument <destination> is either a string variable
Xor an integer variable.
XIf the file has reached end of file: an integer variable
Xreceives -1; a string variable is returned null.
XOtherwise, the character's numeric value (0-255) is placed
Xin an integer variable or a string variable is returned with a
Xlength of one with the file character as its only character.

Xor flushed.
X
X.*s 3 "fopen"
X
Xusage: fopen [-switches] <filenum> <filename>
X
XThis command opens a file named by the string argument <filename>
Xand associates it with the user-chosen file number <filenum> (which
Xmust be an integer value between 0 and 4, inclusive).
X
XThe argument switches govern how a file is opened and must be chosen
Xfrom this list:
X.VL 15 4
X.LI -r
XThe file is opened read-only; if it does not
Xexist, an error occurs.
X.LI -r+
XThe file is opened for reading and writing; if it does not
Xexist, an error occurs.
X.LI -w
XThe file is opened for writing (any previous contents
Xof the file are lost); if it does not
Xexist, it is created.
X.LI -w+
XThe file is opened for reading and writing (any previous contents
Xof the file are lost); if it does not
Xexist, it is created.
X.LI -a
XThe file is opened for appending (writes to the file
Xare added to the previous file contents); if it does not
Xexist, it is created.
XAll writes are appended to the file (the
X.B fseek
Xcommand has no effect).
X.LE
X
XThe switches parameter may be omitted; in such cases,
Xthe file is opened as though '-r' had been supplied. However,
Xif procedure tracing is enabled (see the description of the
Xinteractive and procedure command
X.B ptrace ),
Xa warning message will be issued.
X
XThe command sets $i0 = 0 if successful, else to the
X.B errno
Xfrom the associated system call (refer to the
X.B %errstr
Xstring function and/or /usr/include/sys/errno.h).

Xare not capable of handling variables longer in current length
Xthan 256. Procedures employing created string variables longer
Xthan 256 characters should be tested carefully with string lengths
Xthat exceed 256.
X
XThe scope of created variables is for the duration of the execution
Xof the creating procedure. Procedures called
Xby the creating procedure (by 'do') can reference
Xcreated variables. When created, integer variables are set
Xto zero and string variables are set to zero length.
XThese features differ from numbered variables
Xwhich retain their scope and values at all times, even when
Xprocedure execution terminates and ECU returns to interactive mode.
X
XThe <name> space for integer and string variables are separate.
XIt is possible to have an integer variable named '$ixyz' and a string
Xvariable named '$sxyz'. <name> may contain any alphabetic or numeric
Xcharacter or the underscore ('_') character, but must begin with a
Xnon-numeric character. '$s_xyz' and '$sxyz' or legal, but '$s3xyz'
Xis not (would be interpreted as '$s3' followed by the illegal
Xcommand sequence 'xyz').
X
XVariables may be created by the same name more than once.
XThe latest mkvar execution specifies the variable referenced.
XThus if proc1 declares '$ixx' and calls proc2 which also declares '$ixx',
Xproc2's variable is distinct from proc1's and disappears when proc2
Xterminates, thus making proc1's available to it again, containing
Xthe same value as it had at the time proc2 was called.

X.*s 3 "nap"
Xusage: nap <int>
X
XThis command suspends procedure execution for <int> tenths of
Xseconds.
X
X.DS L
XExamples:
X
X nap 30
X nap $i0*$i2
X.DE
X.*s 3 "parity"
X.DS L
Xusage: parity [even | odd | none]
X parity <str>
X.DE
X
XThis command sets the parity for the attached communications line.
XIf <str> is supplied, the first character must be 'e', 'o' or 'n'.
XUppercase equivalents are also accepted.
X
X.DS L
XExamples:
X
X parity even
X parity 'e'
X parity 'Even now as we speak'
X.DE
X
X.*s 3 "plog"
X.DS L
Xusage: plog
X plog <str>
X plog off
X.DE
X
XThis command controls logging to a file of the screen output during
Xprocedure execution. With no argument, the command displays the status
Xof logging. <str> specifies a log file pathname, while the 'off'
Xargument turns logging off.
X
XIf procedure execution terminates due to an error, procedure logging
Xis turned off. However, if procedure execution terminates
Xnormally while logging is active, erratic and unpredictable portions
Xof interactive mode screen output will continue to be logged to
Xthe current log file.
X
XThe interactive mode command
X.b plog
Xmay also be used to control procedure logging.
X.DS L
XExample:
X
X mkvar s_logname(128)
X $s_logname = %dir+'logname'
X plog $s_logname
X echo 'Test'
X plog off;cd 'somewhere_else';plog $s_logname
X echo 'Test'
X.DE
X
X
X.*s 3 "prompt"
Xusage: prompt <str>
X
XThis command allows selection of an alternate prompt to the interactive
Xmode HOME command trigger.
XRefer to the section titled "ECUPROMPT"
Xfor more information on the interactive mode prompt.
X
XNote: the interactive and procedure
X.b hangup
Xcommands both cause the default prompt to be reestablished.
X
X.DS L
XExample:
X
X prompt %rname+' >' use remote name in prompt
X.DE
X
X.*s 3 "ptrace"
X.DS L
Xusage: ptrace [ <str> | off ]
X.DE
X
XThis command controls procedure execution tracing. Trace
Xoutput is written to the screen and varys in its nature depending upon
Xthe command being traced. Specifically, any change to a string or
Xinteger variable is noted. If tracing is enabled, the output will also
Xbe written to any active procedure log file (see the
X.b plog
Xinteractive and procedure commands).
X
X.*s 3 "return"
Xusage: return [<int>]
X
XThis command causes the currently executing procedure to terminate,
Xreturning either to a calling procedure or to the interactive mode.
XIf <int> is supplied, if it nonzero, then all procedure execution is
Xterminated and the integer status is printed
Xon the screen along with the name of the executing procedure.
X
X.*s 3 "rk"
Xusage: rk [-a]
X
XThis command invokes the Kermit file receive protocol. If switch '-a'
Xis omitted, the received files are stored as received; otherwise
Xcarriage return/linefeed pairs are converted to newlines.
XThe remote sender must have been started prior the the
Xexecution of this command.
X
X.*s 3 "rs"
Xusage: rs
X
XThis command invokes the SEAlink file receive protocol.
XThere
Xis no provision in the SEAlink protocol to convert
Xcarriage return/linefeed pairs to newlines,
Xso the received files are stored as received.
XThe remote sender must have been started prior the the
Xexecution of this command.
X
X.*s 3 "rx"
Xusage: rx [-a] <str>
X
XThis command invokes the XMODEM file receive protocol
Xto receive file <str>. If switch '-a'
Xis omitted, the received file is stored as received; otherwise
Xcarriage return/linefeed pairs are converted to newlines.
XThe remote sender must have been started prior the the
Xexecution of this command.
X
X.*s 3 "ry"
Xusage: ry
X
XThis command invokes the YMODEM Batch (not to be confused with
XXMODEM-1K) protocol to receive files from a remote system. The remote
Xsender must have been started prior the the execution of this command.
X
X.*s 3 "rz"
Xusage: rz
X
XThis command invokes the ZMODEM protocol to receive
Xfiles from a remote system.
XThe remote sender must have been started prior the the
Xexecution of this command.
X
X.*s 3 "scrdump"
Xusage: scrdump [<str>]
X
XThis command causes the current screen contents to be
Xstored in a file. If <str> is supplied, it is used as a pathname.
XIf <str> is not supplied, "~/.ecu/screen.dump".
XThe actions of the interactive
X.b sdname
Xcommand have no effect on the execution of this command.
X
X.*s 3 "send"
Xusage: send [-n] <str>
X
XThis command sends <str> to the communications line. If the '-n'
Xswitch is omitted, a carriage return (0x0D) is transmitted after <str>.
XIf '-n' is supplied, no carriage return is transmitted.
X
X.DS L
XExamples:
X
X send 'ps -au'
X send -n %chr(0x02)+"START'+%chr(0x03)
X.DE
X
X.*s 3 "set"
X.DS L
Xusage: set [$]i<name>=<int-expression>[, ...]
X set [$]s<name>=<str-expression>[, ...]
X.DE
X
XThis command sets an integer or string variable
Xto an expression. The 'set' verb may be omitted provided the
Xotherwise optional '$' is supplied. There are many examples of
Xhow the set statement is performed throughout this document.
XThe examples here are to further clarify the statement's syntax.
X
XIf the '=<expression>' is omitted, the value of the variable is
Xdisplayed (useful when debugging). If procedure tracing is
SHAR_EOF
echo "End of part 38"
echo "File doc/_p_cmd.txt is continued in part 39"
echo "39" > s2_seq_.tmp
exit 0
