+ The sender of this command DEMANDS that the receiver not send
+ SUPDUP-OUTPUT format messages over the TELNET connection.
+
+ IAC SB SUPDUP-OUTPUT 1 <terminal-parameters> IAC SE

+ supplying information describing the capabilities of the user
+ process' terminal.
+
+ IAC SB SUPDUP-OUTPUT 2 n TD1 TD2 .. TDn SCx SCy IAC SE
+
+ The sender of this command, which must be the TELNET server process,
+ is sending explicit screen control information to be carried out by
+ the user TELNET process.
+
+3. Default.
+
+ WON'T SUPDUP-OUTPUT
+
+ DON'T SUPDUP-OUTPUT
+
+ i.e., the SUPDUP-OUTPUT format messages may not be transmitted.

+Telnet SUPDUP-OUTPUT Option
+
+
+
+4. Motivation for the option.
+
+ The SUPDUP-OUTPUT protocol provides a means to access the virtual
+ display support provided by the SUPDUP protocol (see RFC 734) within
+ the context of a standard TELNET connection. This allows occasional
+ display-oriented programs at non-display-oriented servers to take
+ advantage of the standardized display support provided by SUPDUP.
+ This cannot be done with the standard SUPDUP protocol or the TELNET
+ SUPDUP option (RFC 736), for they both require that all communication
+ after the negotiation to use SUPDUP has been completed proceed
+ according to the protocol of RFC 734. This places upon the server
+ total responsibility for screen management for the duration of the
+ connection, which, by hypothesis, the non-display oriented server is
+ not willing to accept.
+
+ User TELNET programs at display-oriented user hosts provide local
+ screen management by mapping the NVT commands of TELNET into local
+ screen management commands; often, this involves scrolling,
+ end-of-page processing, line clearing etc. The SUPDUP-OUTPUT option
+ allows a display-oriented application program at the server side to
+ take over screen management explicitly, via the SUPDUP display
+ control repertoire. TELNET remains in effect throughout. The IAC IP
+ and other TELNET commands are still valid.
+
+ By means of the SUPDUP-OUTPUT option, display-oriented programs can
+ run on the server host, and control the user host's screen
+ explicitly. The user TELNET process sends a description of the user
+ terminal (as specified in RFC 734) to the server TELNET process as a
+ subnegiotiation block when the SUPDUP-OUTPUT negotiation has been
+ successfully completed. The server TELNET process sends explicit
+ screen control commands via subnegotiation blocks to the user TELNET
+ process.
+
+5. Description of the option.
+
+ The SUPDUP-OUTPUT protocol may only be initiated by the server TELNET
+ process. A server TELNET process wishing to take advantage of the
+ SUPDUP-OUTPUT protocol will initiate a negotiation for it by sending
+ IAC WILL SUPDUP-OUTPUT. The user TELNET process must accept or
+ refuse the offer by sending IAC DO SUPDUP-OUTPUT or IAC DON'T
+ SUPDUP-OUTPUT.
+
+ If the user TELNET process agrees to support the SUPDUP-OUTPUT
+ option, it must follow the sending of IAC DO SUPDUP-OUTPUT
+ immediately with a description of the user's terminal. This
+ information is described in RFC 734 as the "terminal parameters." It
+ is to be sent as a series of six-bit bytes, one byte per eight-bit
+

+Telnet SUPDUP-OUTPUT Option
+
+
+
+ TELNET data byte. These words may or may not contain the optional
+ line speed and graphics capabilities parameters described by RFC 747;
+ the first six bytes specify the count of 36-bit words to follow as
+ described by RFC 734.
+
+ The terminal parameter block will be sent as a subnegotiation of the
+ SUPDUP-OUTPUT option:
+
+ IAC SB SUPDUP-OUTPUT 1 byte1 byte2 ... byten IAC SE
+
+ The byte of "1" is a command code, for compatibility with future
+ extensions. Upon receipt of the terminal parameter block from the
+ user TELNET process, the server TELNET process may send SUPDUP-OUTPUT
+ blocks as described below.
+
+ The server TELNET process can specify explicit control of the user
+ host's screen by the sending of subnegotiation blocks of the
+ SUPDUP-OUTPUT option. The format of such a block, as seen in
+ eight-bit TELNET data bytes, is:
+
+ IAC SB SUPDUP-OUTPUT 2 N TD1 TD2 TD3 ... TDn SCx SCy IAC SE
+
+ The byte of "2" is a command code, for compatibility with future
+ extensions. The TDm bytes are the "%TDCODEs" and printing characters
+ of SUPDUP output of RFC 734. N is a byte containing a count of the
+ number of TDm's in this transmission. N may be zero, and may not be
+ greater than 254 (decimal). SCx and SCy are two bytes specifying the
+ anticipated horizontal and vertical (respectively) coordinates of the
+ cursor of the user host's screen after the latter has interpreted all
+ the %TDCODEs in this transmission.
+
+ The motivation for the SCx SCy screen position specification is to
+ allow hosts running the ITS operating system, which will transmit the
+ TDCODEs directly into the local output system, to assert the "main
+ program level" screen position without any interpretation of the
+ transmitted TDCODE sequence by the user TELNET program.
+
+ The user TELNET process must manage the position of the local cursor
+ with respect to standard TELNET NVT commands and output, and SUPDUP
+ OUTPUT transmissions. The user TELNET process may assume that the
+ server TELNET process is managing both NVT and SUPDUP-OUTPUT output
+ in an integrated way.
+
+ The SUPDUP-OUTPUT option makes no statement about how input is sent;
+ this may be negotiated via other options. By default, NVT input will
+ be used. The user-to-server screen management commands of RFC 734
+ are NOT implicitly handled by IAC WILL SUPDUP-OUTPUT.

+NWG/RFC 749 BSG 26-Sep-78 13:13 45499
+Telnet SUPDUP-OUTPUT Option
+
+
+
+ In the absence of the transmission of SUPDUP-OUTPUT subnegotiation
+ blocks, a TELNET connection operating with the SUPDUP-OUTPUT option
+ in effect is indistinguishable from a normal TELNET connection. Thus
+ IAC WON'T SUPDUP-OUTPUT is highly optional, and if received by the
+ user TELNET process, should only be used to cause a diagnostic if
+ SUPDUP-OUTPUT subnegotiation blocks are subsequently received. If
+ received, the user TELNET process should respond with IAC DON'T
+ SUPDUP OUTPUT.
+
+ Because of the optional nature of IAC WON'T SUPDUP-OUTPUT, the user
+ TELNET process should be prepared to send the terminal parameter
+ subnegotiation block each time IAC WILL SUPDUP-OUTPUT is received,
+ i.e., even if the user TELNET process believes SUPDUP-OUTPUT to be in
+ effect.
+
+ The %TDORS (output reset) code may not be sent in a SUPDUP-OUTPUT
+ transmission. The user TELNET program may assume that no byte in a
+ subnegotiation block will be 255 (decimal).
+
+ No multi-byte TDCODE sequence (e.g., %TDMOV, %TDILP) may be split
+ across SUPDUP-OUTPUT subnegotiation blocks.
