Communication with connected UNIX systems using the tip command

Use the tip command to contact any connected system running the UNIX operating system.

The tip command is installed with the Basic Networking Utilities (BNU) and can use the same asynchronous connections used by BNU.

The tip command uses variables and escape signals, as well as flags, to control its operations. The flags can be entered at the command line. The escape signals can be used over a connection with a remote system to start and stop file transfers, change the direction of a file transfer, and exit to a subshell.
