DRAWTERM(8)							   DRAWTERM(8)

NAME
       drawterm - connect to Plan 9 CPU servers from other operating systems

SYNOPSIS
       drawterm	 [  -d	] [ -a authaddr ] [ -c cpuaddr ] [ -e encryption-hash-
       algs ] [ -k keypattern ] [ -s secstoreaddr ] [ -u user ] [ -C cmd  args
       ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Drawterm	 is  not a Plan 9 program.  It is a program that users of non-
       Plan 9 systems can use to establish graphical cpu(1)  connections  with
       Plan  9	CPU  servers.	Just  as a real Plan 9 terminal does, drawterm
       serves its local name space as well  as	some  devices  (the  keyboard,
       mouse, and screen) to a remote CPU server, which mounts this name space
       on /mnt/term and starts a shell.	 Typically, either explicitly  or  via
       the profile, one uses the shell to start rio(1).

       By  default, drawterm uses the CPU server $cpu or cpu.  and the authen‐
       tication server $auth or auth.  The -a,	-c,  and  -s  options  specify
       alternate  authentication,  CPU	and  secstore  servers,	 respectively.
       (Edit the source to set appropriate local defaults.)

       Cmd is a command to be executed remotely.  Options and  have  the  same
       meaning as in cpu(1).

       Drawterm	 has been ported to FreeBSD, Irix, Linux, NetBSD, and Windows.
       Binaries can be downloaded from http://swtch.com/drawterm/.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Drawterm prints most diagnostics in its own window.

SEE ALSO

BUGS
       Although at first drawterm may seem like a Plan 9 terminal, in fact  it
       is  just a way to provide a CPU server with some terminal devices.  The
       difference is important because one cannot run  terminal-resident  pro‐
       grams  when  using  drawterm.  The illusion can be improved by delicate
       adjustments in /usr/$user/lib/profile.

       It would be nice to be able  to	change	the  default  servers  without
       recompiling.
