- _T_a_l_k is a visual communication program which copies lines from your
- terminal to that of another user.
-
- If you wish to talk to someone on your own machine, then _p_e_r_s_o_n is just
- the person's login name. If you wish to talk to a user on another host,
- then _p_e_r_s_o_n is of the form _u_s_e_r@_h_o_s_t.
-
- If you want to talk to a user who is logged in more than once, the
- _t_t_y_n_a_m_e argument may be used to indicate the appropriate terminal name,
- where _t_t_y_n_a_m_e is of the form ``ttyXX''.
-
- When first called, _t_a_l_k sends the message
-
- Message from TalkDaemon@his_machine...
- talk: connection requested by your_name@your_machine.
- talk: respond with: talk your_name@your_machine
-
- to the user you wish to talk to. At this point, the recipient of the
- message should reply by typing
-
- talk your_name@your_machine
-
- It doesn't matter from which machine the recipient replies, as long as
- his/her login-name is the same. Once communication is established, the
- two parties may type simultaneously, with their output appearing in
- separate windows. Typing control L (^L) will cause the screen to be
- reprinted, while your erase, kill, and word kill characters will behave
- normally. To exit, just type your interrupt character; _t_a_l_k then moves
- the cursor to the bottom of the screen and restores the terminal to its
- previous state.
-
- Permission to talk may be denied or granted by use of the _m_e_s_g command.
