NAME

       dnetcat - opens a DECnet connection

SYNOPSIS

       dnetcat {-h|--help}

       dnetcat [-v] [-z] node[::|[::] ]object

       dnetcat [-v] [-f] -l object

DESCRIPTION

       dnetcat is a netcat(1) like tool that opens a DECnet connection and copies all data between the standard input/output to/from the socket.

OPTIONS

   -v
       Be verbose. Prints useful (debug) messages.

   -z
       Zero IO mode. In this mode a connection is dropped directly after it is opened.	This can be used to scan if the remote side listens on the
       given address and object.

   -l
       Listen mode. In this mode dnetcat accepts connections on the given object.

   -f
       Fork on new connection. This let netcat accept multiple connections in listen mode.  This is ignored if -l is not given.

   --help, -h
       Prints a small help.

EXAMPLES

       This program can be used as 'ProxyCommand' for ssh(1).  You may use it via command line like this:
	ssh -o 'ProxyCommand dnetcat %h ssh' [...] mynode

       or you may use it in your ~/.ssh/config like this:
	Host *::
	ProxyCommand dnetcat %h ssh

       This will enable you to connect to any DECnet node by adding "::" at the end of the node name like this:
	ssh mynode::

       For more information on ssh(1) see it's manpage.
