Branch: pkgsrc-2013Q1, Version: 1.7.2.1, Package name: socat-1.7.2.1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

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, a program, or a
combination of two of these. These modes include generation of
"listening" sockets, pipes and pseudo terminals.
