NAME

       ucspi-proxy - Copy data between a UCSPI client and server

SYNOPSIS

       ucspi-proxy [ -v ] [ -t TIMEOUT ] [ HOST PORT ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program is a simple loop copying data from a UCSPI server (file descriptor 0) to a client, and from
       a client to a server (FD 1).  If either  socket  closes,  ucspi-proxy  exits.   The  other  ucspi-proxy-*
       programs are based on this simple loop and have similar usage.

       If  HOST  and  PORT  are given on the command line, ucspi-proxy will make a TCP connection with the given
       parameters.  If neither are present, ucspi-proxy will use file descriptor 6 for  the  client  socket,  as
       provided by UCSPI client programs.

OPTIONS

       -l MAXLINE
              The maximum length of lines (from either server or client) to copy to the log. Defaults to 64.

       -t TIMEOUT
              When  making  an  connection, ucspi-proxy will wait a maximum of TIMEOUT seconds before giving up.
              Defaults to 30.

       -v     Print messages about errors and byte counts.  Without this option, ucspi-proxy is silent.

RETURN VALUE

       Exits 0 if a normal end of file was reached on one of the sockets.  Otherwise it exits 1.
