talk - talk to another user
The talk utility is a two-way, screen-oriented communication program.
When first invoked, talk shall send a message similar to:
Message from <unspecified string> talk: connection requested by your_addresstalk: respond with: talk your_address
to the specified address. At this point, the recipient of the message can reply by typing:
talk your_address
Once communication is established, the two parties can type simultaneously, with their output displayed in separate regions of the screen. Characters shall be processed as follows:
Typing the alert character shall alert the recipient's terminal.
Typing <control>-L shall cause the sender's screen regions to be refreshed.
Typing the erase and kill characters shall affect the sender's terminal in the manner described by the termios interface in the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 11, General Terminal Interface.
Typing the interrupt or end-of-file characters shall terminate the local talk utility. Once the talk session has been terminated on one side, the other side of the talk session shall be notified that the talk session has been terminated and shall be able to do nothing except exit.
Typing characters from LC_CTYPE classifications print or space shall cause those characters to be sent to the recipient's terminal.
When and only when the stty iexten local mode is enabled, the existence and processing of additional special control characters and multi-byte or single-byte functions shall be implementation-defined.
Typing other non-printable characters shall cause implementation-defined sequences of printable characters to be sent to the recipient's terminal.
Permission to be a recipient of a talk message can be denied or granted by use of the mesg utility. However, a user's privilege may further constrain the domain of accessibility of other users' terminals. The talk utility shall fail when the user lacks the appropriate privileges to perform the requested action.
Certain block-mode terminals do not have all the capabilities necessary to support the simultaneous exchange of messages required for talk. When this type of exchange cannot be supported on such terminals, the implementation may support an exchange with reduced levels of simultaneous interaction or it may report an error describing the terminal-related deficiency.
The following operands shall be supported:
Characters read from standard input shall be copied to the recipient's terminal in an unspecified manner. If standard input is not a terminal, talk shall write a diagnostic message and exit with a non-zero status.
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of talk:
When the talk utility receives a SIGINT signal, the utility shall terminate and exit with a zero status. It shall take the standard action for all other signals.
If standard output is a terminal, characters copied from the recipient's standard input may be written to standard output. Standard output also may be used for diagnostic messages. If standard output is not a terminal, talk shall exit with a non-zero status.
The following exit values shall be returned:
Default.
The following sections are informative.
Because the handling of non-printable, non- <space>s is tied to the stty description of iexten, implementation extensions within the terminal driver can be accessed. For example, some implementations provide line editing functions with certain control character sequences.
The write utility was included in this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 since it can be implemented on all terminal types. The talk utility, which cannot be implemented on certain terminals, was considered to be a "better" communications interface. Both of these programs are in widespread use on historical implementations. Therefore, both utilities have been specified.
All references to networking abilities (talking to a user on another system) were removed as being outside the scope of this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.
Historical BSD and System V versions of talk terminate both of the conversations when either user breaks out of the session. This can lead to adverse consequences if a user unwittingly continues to enter text that is interpreted by the shell when the other terminates the session. Therefore, the version of talk specified by this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 requires both users to terminate their end of the session explicitly.
Only messages sent to the terminal of the invoking user can be internationalized in any way:
The original "Message from <unspecified string> ..." message sent to the terminal of the recipient cannot be internationalized because the environment of the recipient is as yet inaccessible to the talk utility. The environment of the invoking party is irrelevant.
Subsequent communication between the two parties cannot be internationalized because the two parties may specify different languages in their environment (and non-portable characters cannot be mapped from one language to another).
Neither party can be required to communicate in a language other than C and/or the one specified by their environment because unavailable terminal hardware support (for example, fonts) may be required.
The text in the STDOUT section reflects the usage of the verb "display" in this section; some talk implementations actually use standard output to write to the terminal, but this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 does not require that to be the case.
The format of the terminal name is unspecified, but the descriptions of ps, talk, who, and write require that they all use or accept the same format.
The handling of non-printable characters is partially implementation-defined because the details of mapping them to printable sequences is not needed by the user. Historical implementations, for security reasons, disallow the transmission of non-printable characters that may send commands to the other terminal.
