Simple I/O methods such as print, get, and getline are provided. More sophisticated interactive features are provided because connecting to a TELNET port ultimately means communicating with a program designed for human interaction. These interactive features include the ability to specify a timeout and to wait for patterns to appear in the input stream, such as the prompt from a shell.
