MCCP1 ? ZMP parsing ? MSSP parsing ? ENVIRON/NEW-ENVIRON parsing ? telnet-status testing tool ? few options to make telnet-proxy even more useful I. INTRODUCTION ===================================================================== libtelnet provides safe and correct handling of the core TELNET protocol. It does not include any "smarts," and all use of the protocol (such as deciding which options to support, enabling and disabling options, or processing subrequests) must be implemented by the application author. II. LIBTELNET API ===================================================================== FIXME: fill in notes about user-facing API III. INTEGRATING LIBTELNET ===================================================================== FIXME: fill in notes about implementing the libtelnet_*_cb functions IV. OUTPUT PROCESSING ===================================================================== FIXME: fill in notes about output buffering recommendations V. SAFETY AND CORRECTNESS CONSIDERATIONS ===================================================================== FIXME: fill in notes about recommending the user of libtelnet over all output functions for ensuring safety
