# socat
|
|
|
|
socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two independent data channels.
|
|
Each of these data channels may be a file, pipe, device (serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), a socket (UNIX, IP4, IP6 - raw, UDP, TCP), an SSL socket, proxy CONNECT connection, a file descriptor (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor (readline), a program, or a combination of two of these.
|
|
These modes include generation of "listening" sockets, named pipes, and pseudo terminals.
