NAME¶
tcpconnect - general TCP/IP client
SYNOPSIS¶
tcpconnect [
-irv] [
-l localaddr]
host
port
DESCRIPTION¶
tcpconnect creates a TCP/IP connection to a server running on the machine
host, listening to port
port. It then reads standard input and
sends to the remote server, and data received from the server is printed to
standard output. When end-of-file is reached on both standard input and the
TCP/IP connection,
tcpconnect terminates.
OPTIONS¶
- -i
- Terminate at end-of-file on standard input; don't wait for
the server to close the connection.
- -r
- Terminate when the remote server closes the connection;
don't wait for end-of-file on standard input.
- -v
- Verbose mode. Prints a message to standard error when the
connection has been established.
- -l addr:port
- Bind the local end-point of the connection to IP address
addr, TCP port port. Either the IP address or the port, but
not both, may be left out, meaning that the operating system gets to
choose that part by itself.

BUGS¶
The names of the options are not yet finalized, and may change at a future
release.
