+.Sh NAME
+.Nm rexec
+.Nd return stream to a remote command
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Ft int
+.Fn rexec ahost "int inport" "char *user" "char *passwd" "char *cmd" "int *fd2p"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Bf -symbolic
+This interface is obsoleted by krcmd(3).
+It is available from the compatibility library, libcompat.
+.Ef
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn rexec
+function
+looks up the host
+.Fa *ahost
+using
+.Xr gethostbyname 3 ,
+returning \-1 if the host does not exist.
+Otherwise
+.Fa *ahost
+is set to the standard name of the host.
+If a username and password are both specified, then these
+are used to authenticate to the foreign host; otherwise
+the environment and then the user's
+.Pa .netrc
+file in his
+home directory are searched for appropriate information.
+If all this fails, the user is prompted for the information.
+.Pp
+The port
+.Fa inport
+specifies which well-known
+.Tn DARPA
+Internet port to use for
+the connection; the call
+.Ql getservbyname(\\*qexec\\*q, \\*qtcp\\*q)
+(see
+.Xr getservent 3 )
+will return a pointer to a structure, which contains the
+necessary port.
+The protocol for connection is described in detail in
+.Xr rexecd 8 .
+.Pp
+If the connection succeeds,
+a socket in the Internet domain of type
+.Dv SOCK_STREAM
+is returned to
+the caller, and given to the remote command as
+.Em stdin
+and
+.Em stdout .
+If
+.Fa fd2p
+is non-zero, then an auxiliary channel to a control
+process will be setup, and a descriptor for it will be placed
+in
+.Fa *fd2p .
+The control process will return diagnostic
+output from the command (unit 2) on this channel, and will also
+accept bytes on this channel as being
+.Tn UNIX
+signal numbers, to be
+forwarded to the process group of the command. The diagnostic
+information returned does not include remote authorization failure,
+as the secondary connection is set up after authorization has been
+verified.
+If
+.Fa fd2p
+is 0, then the
+.Em stderr
+(unit 2 of the remote
+command) will be made the same as the
+.Em stdout
+and no
+provision is made for sending arbitrary signals to the remote process,
+although you may be able to get its attention by using out-of-band data.
