tcpconnect - general TCP/IP client

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

                                                  1997 April 13                                    TCPCONNECT(1)

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.

-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.

       -laddr: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.

tcplisten(1), telnet(1), tcpbug(1).
