BLIT(1) BLIT(1)
NAME
blit - Blit emulator
SYNOPSIS
games/blit [ -m ] [ -b baud ] [ -C bg,fg ] -d | -t
[net!]machine[!port]
DESCRIPTION
Blit is an emulator for the Blit terminal. It connects to
the host specified by the dial(2) string
[net!]machine[!port].
The colors are configurable with the -C option in the format
rrggbb,rrggbb, where the first color is the background (nor-
mally white) and the second color is the foreground (nor-
mally black).
The emulator has accurate relative timing but runs as fast
as it can. By default, however, it uses a baudrate of
40,000 baud (real hardware used 19,200). This is config-
urable with the -b option. Beware that the Blit software is
not able to handle baud rates that are too high.
If the -m option is set, the Plan 9 mouse cursor is not hid-
den.
If -d is specified instead of -t, the diagnostic ROM is
booted instead.
