conman  is  a  program  for connecting to remote consoles being managed by conmand.  Console names can be
       separated by spaces and/or commas.  Globbing is used by  default  to  match  console  names  against  the
       configuration, but regular expression matching can be enabled with the '-r' option.

       conman  supports  three  modes  of  console  access:  monitor  (read-only), interactive (read-write), and
       broadcast (write-only).  If neither the '-m' (monitor) nor '-b' (broadcast) options  are  specified,  the
       console session is opened in interactive mode.

       The following environment variables override the default settings.

       CONMAN_HOST
              Specifies the hostname or IP address at which to contact conmand, but may  be  overridden  by  the
              '-d'  command-line  option.   A  port  number  separated by a colon may follow the hostname (i.e.,
              host:port), although the CONMAN_PORT environment variable  takes  precedence.   If  not  set,  the
              default host [127.0.0.1] will be used.

       CONMAN_PORT
              Specifies  the  port  on  which to contact conmand, but may be overridden by the '-d' command-line
              option.  If not set, the default port [7890] will be used.

       CONMAN_ESCAPE
              The first character of this variable specifies the escape character, but may be overridden by  the
              '-e' command-line option.  If not set, the default escape character [&] will be used.

       The following escapes are supported and assume the default escape character [&]:

       &?     Display a list of currently available escapes.

       &.     Terminate the connection.

       &&     Send a single escape character.

       &B     Send a "serial-break" to the remote console.

       &E     Toggle echoing of client input.

       &F     Switch from read-only to read-write via a "force".

       &I     Display information about the connection.

       &J     Switch from read-only to read-write via a "join".

       &L     Replay  up  the  the  last 4KB of console output.  This escape requires the console device to have
              logging enabled in the conmand configuration.

       &M     Switch from read-write to read-only.

       &Q     Toggle quiet-mode to display/suppress informational messages.

       &R     Reset the node associated with this console.  This escape requires a "resetcmd" to be specified in
              the conmand configuration.

       &Z     Suspend the client.

-b     Broadcast  to  multiple  consoles  (write-only).   Data  sent  by the client will be copied to all
              specified consoles in parallel, but console output will not be sent  back  to  the  client.   This
              option can be used in conjunction with '-f' or '-j'.

       -ddestination
              Specify  the  location  of  the  conmand  daemon,  overriding  the default [127.0.0.1:7890].  This
              location may contain a hostname or IP address, and be optionally followed  by  a  colon  and  port
              number.

       -echaracter
              Specify the client escape character, overriding the default [&].

       -f     Specify  that  write-access  to  the console should be "forced", thereby stealing the console away
              from existing clients having write privileges.  The original clients are informed  by  conmand  of
              who perpetrated the theft as their connections are terminated.

       -Ffile
              Read  console names/patterns from file.  Only one console name may be specified per line.  Leading
              and trailing whitespace, blank lines, and comments (i.e., lines beginning with a '#') are ignored.

       -h     Display a summary of the command-line options.

       -j     Specify that write-access to the console should be "joined",  thereby  sharing  the  console  with
              existing clients having write privileges.  The original clients are informed by conmand that a new
              client has been granted write privileges.

       -lfile
              Log console session output to file.

       -L     Display license information.

       -m     Monitor a console (read-only).

       -q     Query  conmand  for consoles matching the specified names/patterns.  Output from this query can be
              saved to file for use with the '-F' option.

       -Q     Enable quiet-mode, suppressing informational messages.  This mode can be toggled within a  console
              session via the '&Q' escape.

       -r     Match console names via regular expressions instead of globbing.

       -v     Enable verbose mode.

       -V     Display version information.

       The client/server communications are not yet encrypted.
