.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBdnetcat\fR is a \fBnetcat\fR(1) like tool that opens a DECnet connection and
copies all data between the standard input/output to/from the socket.

.SH OPTIONS
.SS "\-v"
Be verbose. Prints useful (debug) messages.
.SS "\-z"
Zero IO mode. In this mode a connection is dropped directly after it is opened.
This can be used to scan if the remote side listens on the given address and object.
.SS "\-l"
Listen mode. In this mode \fBdnetcat\fR accepts connections on the given object.
.SS "\-f"
Fork on new connection. This let netcat accept multiple connections in listen mode.
This is ignored if \fB\-l\fR is not given.
.SS "\-\-help, \-h"
Prints a small help.

.SH EXAMPLES
This program can be used as 'ProxyCommand' for \fBssh\fR(1).
You may use it via command line like this:
 ssh \-o 'ProxyCommand dnetcat %h ssh' [...] mynode

or you may use it in your \fB~/.ssh/config\fR like this:
 Host *::
 ProxyCommand dnetcat %h ssh

This will enable you to connect to any DECnet node by adding "::" at
the end of the node name like this:
 ssh mynode::
