@sockset

SOCKSET [<option>=<value>]
@sockset [<descriptor>][=<option>, <value>[, ..., <optionN>, <valueN>]]

SOCKSET is a socket command which sets or queries socket-specific options. These options are usually set automatically, or negotiated by the MUSH and your client, but this command lets you override those settings.

With no args, SOCKSET shows the current value of the socket options. With an <option>=<value> pair, it attempts to set the given option.

@sockset is a similar in-game command, but can specify which descriptor to change options for, and can set multiple options at once. Only Wizards can change the options for other players’ descriptors. <descriptor> defaults to your least-idle descriptor, when used by a player; for non-players, it has no default.

@sockset display options: colour, links, pictures, terminal, character set and screen size
@sockset connection options: prefixes, prompts, Pueblo and telnet

Display options

colorstyle: See COLORSTYLE
hyperlinks, commandlinks: See HYPERLINKS
graphics: See GRAPHICS
alttext: on, off or auto. How a picture your client does not draw is written: on writes its description, off its address. Auto writes the description for a screen reader and the address for everyone else
animation: See ANIMATION
terminal: See TERMINAL
charset: See CHARSET
screenreader: on, off or auto. Same as SCREENREADER; see screenreader client
width: Set your width(), same as SCREENWIDTH
height: Set your height(), same as SCREENHEIGHT
terminaltype: Your terminal type, used by terminfo()
stripaccents: Send this connection plain ASCII, each other character replaced as CHARSET describes.

Connection options

outputprefix: Same as OUTPUTPREFIX
outputsuffix: Same as OUTPUTSUFFIX
prompt_newlines: Set whether a newline is shown after prompts from @prompt, same as PROMPT_NEWLINES
pueblo: Any value turns Pueblo mode on, and an empty value turns it off. See pueblo
telnet: Yes or no. When it is no, a prompt from @prompt ends with a newline instead of a telnet GA

Changing pueblo or telnet may stop your client from reading or showing output correctly; only change them if you know what you’re doing.
