readopt - Read in option file

The option file is read in with the readopt command. This command supplements/replaces the options which were read from the global and local option files when the TELNET client was started (if these files existed at startup time). You can execute the readopt command as often as you wish, for example to form option records which are distributed over different files, or to switch between various option records.

The -Z OpenSSLlibname option (see "-Z OpenSSLlibName - Define an LMS file for an OpenSSL library") only becomes effective after the TELNET client has restarted. All other options become effective after the connection to the TELNET server has been set up.
