# How to use com links in ITS
|
|
|
|
Com links allow terminal sharing between users.
|
|
|
|
### Entering and exiting com link mode
|
|
|
|
Use <code><kbd>^_</kbd>C*foo*</code> to attach to terminal or user
|
|
*foo*. An octal number specifies a terminal number. This works with
|
|
any number of users.
|
|
|
|
Initially, input and output to programs is disabled, so users can type
|
|
text to each other.
|
|
|
|
Use <code><kbd>^_</kbd>N</code> to detach from terminal sharing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Using programs in com link mode
|
|
|
|
In com link mode, toggle program I/O with <code><kbd>^\_</kbd>I</code>
|
|
and <code><kbd>^_</kbd>O</code>. When I/O is enabled, programs can
|
|
use the terminal normally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Slaving terminals
|
|
|
|
Slaving a terminal means sending input to it from another terminal.
|
|
When in com link mode, use <code><kbd>^\_</kbd>S*foo*</code> to slave
|
|
another terminal. To toggle sending it input, use
|
|
<code><kbd>^\_</kbd>E</code>. Doing <code><kbd>^_</kbd>E</code> will
|
|
automatically slave the other terminal if there are only two terminals
|
|
in the com link session.
