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.
