NAME

       tcplisten - general TCP/IP server

SYNOPSIS

       tcplisten [-irv] [localaddr] port

DESCRIPTION

       tcplisten  waits  for  a  TCP/IP  connection  on port.  If a localaddr parameter is given,
       tcplisten will bind to that IP address.  Otherwise tcplisten will  accept  connections  to
       any  of  the  local  machines  IP  addresses.  Data received from the client is printed on
       standard output, and data read from standard input is sent to the  client.   When  end-of-
       file is reached on both standard input and the TCP/IP connection, tcplisten terminates.

OPTIONS

       -i     Terminate  at end-of-file on standard input; don't wait for the client to close the
              connection.

       -r     Terminate when the remote client closes the connection; don't wait for  end-of-file
              on standard input.

       -v     Verbose mode.  Prints a message to standard error about the origins (host and port)
              of the client.
