## NAME
     **ssh-argv0** — replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling

## SYNOPSIS
     _hostname_ | _user@hostname_ [**-l** _login_name_] [_command_]

     _hostname_ | _user@hostname_ [**-afgknqstvxACNTX1246**] [**-b** _bind_address_] [**-c** _cipher_spec_]
     [**-e** _escape_char_] [**-i** _identity_file_] [**-l** _login_name_] [**-m** _mac_spec_] [**-o** _option_] [**-p** _port_]
     [**-F** _configfile_] [**-L** _port_:_host_:_hostport_] [**-R** _port_:_host_:_hostport_] [**-D** _port_] [_command_]

## DESCRIPTION
     **ssh-argv0** replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling.  If you link to this script
     with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname
     as an argument.  All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.

## OPTIONS
     See [ssh(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh/1/markdown).

## FILES
