ssh-argv0(1)

ssh-argv01

Replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling

Usage

hostname { | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]}

hostname { | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port: host: hostport] [-R port: host: hostport] [-D port] [command]}

Overview

ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.

Authors

OpenSSH is a derivative of the original and free ssh 1.2.12 release by Tatu Ylonen. Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt and Dug Song removed many bugs, re-added newer features and created OpenSSH. Markus Friedl contributed the support for SSH protocol versions 1.5 and 2.0. Natalie Amery wrote this ssh-argv0 script and the associated documentation.

From openssh-client 1:10.0p1-7+deb13u4 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's mdoc source.
