[c5c522c]1# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
2# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
3# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
4# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
5# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
6# leave one space after the ':'.

9nc: nc (Netcat network utility)
10nc:
11nc: Netcat, or "nc" as the actual program is named, is a simple utility
12nc: which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or
13nc: UDP protocol.  It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that
14nc: can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts.
15nc: At the same time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and
16nc: exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection
17nc: you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities.
18nc: Netcat was written by *Hobbit* <hobbit@avian.org>, and is a product
19nc: of Avian Research.
