## 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 host‐
       name as an argument.  All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.

## OPTIONS
