TCPCONNECT(1)							 TCPCONNECT(1)

NAME
       tcpconnect - general TCP/IP client

SYNOPSIS
       tcpconnect [-irv] [-l localaddr] host port

DESCRIPTION
       tcpconnect  creates  a  TCP/IP  connection  to  a server running on the
       machine host, listening to port port.  It then reads standard input and
       sends  to  the  remote  server,	and  data  received from the server is
       printed to standard output.  When end-of-file is reached on both	 stan‐
       dard input and the TCP/IP connection, tcpconnect terminates.

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

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

       -v     Verbose  mode.  Prints a message to standard error when the con‐
	      nection has been established.

       -l addr:port
	      Bind the local end-point of the connection to IP	address	 addr,
	      TCP port port.  Either the IP address or the port, but not both,
	      may be left out, meaning	that  the  operating  system  gets  to
	      choose that part by itself.

SEE ALSO
       tcplisten(1), telnet(1), tcpbug(1).

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