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.
