| [c5c522c] | 1 | Netcat is a featured networking utility which reads and writes data across |
|---|
| 2 | network connections, using the TCP/IP protocol. |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly |
|---|
| 5 | or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time, it is a |
|---|
| 6 | feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create |
|---|
| 7 | almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting |
|---|
| 8 | built-in capabilities. |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | This package contains the OpenBSD rewrite of netcat, including support |
|---|
| 11 | for IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets. The installed binary is named |
|---|
| 12 | "nc.openbsd" and the manpage is as well. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | BTW, this package conflicts with the netcat in slackware as it creates |
|---|
| 15 | a symbolic link /usr/bin/nc (to let libvirt stuff work correctly), so |
|---|
| 16 | remove netcat (nc) from your system before building/installing this. |
