NAME
       tcplisten - general TCP/IP server

SYNOPSIS
       tcplisten [-irv] [localaddr] port

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.

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

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

       -v     Verbose mode.  Prints a message to standard error about the origins (host and port) of the client.

SEE ALSO
       tcpconnect(1), telnet(1), mini-inetd(1), tcpbug(1).

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