NAME

       spipe - spiped client utility

SYNOPSIS

       spipe -t <target socket> -k <key file> [-f | -g] [-j] [-o <connection timeout>]
       spiped -v

OPTIONS

       -t <target socket>
              Address to which spipe should connect.  Must be in one of the following formats:

       •      /absolute/path/to/unix/socket

       •      host.name:port

       •      [ip.v4.ad.dr]:port

       •      [ipv6::addr]:port

       -k <key file>
              Use  the  provided  key  file  to  authenticate and encrypt.  Pass "-" to read from
              standard input.  Note that  reading  the  key  via  standard  input  will  make  it
              impossible  to  read  anything  else  via standard input, thereby limiting spipe to
              receiving data but not sending any.

       -f     Use fast/weak  handshaking:  This  reduces  the  CPU  time  spent  in  the  initial
              connection  setup  by  disabling  the  Diffie-Hellman  handshake, at the expense of
              losing perfect forward secrecy.

       -g     Require perfect forward secrecy by dropping connections if the other host is  using
              the -f option.

       -j     Disable transport layer keep-alives.  (By default they are enabled.)

       -o <connection timeout>
              Timeout,  in seconds, after which an attempt to connect to the target or a protocol
              handshake will be aborted (and the connection dropped) if not completed.   Defaults
              to 5s.

       -v     Print version number.
