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, including support +for IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets. The installed binary is named +"nc.openbsd" and the manpage is as well. |
