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.
