NAME

       tcp-env - set up TCP-related environment variables

SYNOPSIS

       tcp-env [ -rR ] [ -ttimeout ] program [ arg ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  input for tcp-env must be a TCP connection.  tcp-env finds out information about that
       connection, puts the information into several environment variables as described  in  tcp-
       environ(5), and runs program with the given arguments.

       Usually  tcp-env  is  run  from  inetd.   It might instead be run from another server that
       already sets up the right environment variables; if PROTO is set to TCP  when  tcp-env  is
       invoked, tcp-env assumes that all the other variables are set up properly, and it does not
       check whether the input is a TCP connection.

OPTIONS

       -r     (Default.)  Attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host.

       -R     Do not attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host.

       -ttimeout
              Give up on the TCPREMOTEINFO connection attempt after  timeout  seconds.   Default:
              30.
