NAME

       tcpconnect - general TCP/IP client

SYNOPSIS

       tcpconnect [-irv] [-l localaddr] host port

DESCRIPTION

       tcpconnect  creates  a TCP/IP connection to a server running on the machine host, listening to port port.
       It then reads standard input and sends to the remote server, and data received from the server is printed
       to  standard  output.   When  end-of-file  is  reached  on both standard input and the TCP/IP connection,
       tcpconnect terminates.

OPTIONS

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

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

       -v     Verbose mode.  Prints a message to standard error when the connection has been established.

       -l addr:port
              Bind  the  local  end-point  of  the  connection to IP address addr, TCP port port.  Either the IP
              address or the port, but not both, may be left out, meaning that  the  operating  system  gets  to
              choose that part by itself.

BUGS

       The names of the options are not yet finalized, and may change at a future release.
