Netcat is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across
|
||
|
|
network connections, using the TCP or UDP protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used
|
||
|
|
directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same
|
||
|
|
time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since
|
||
|
|
it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has
|
||
|
|
several interesting built-in capabilities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package contains the OpenBSD rewrite of netcat, with Debian and
|
||
|
|
other patches, including support for IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets.
|
||
|
|
The installed binary is named "nc.openbsd" and the manpage is as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BTW, this package conflicts with the netcat in slackware as it creates a
|
||
|
|
symbolic link /usr/bin/nc (to let libvirt stuff work correctly), so
|
||
|
|
remove netcat (nc) from your system before building/installing this.
