  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Transfer data from stdin over network to destination quickly

fling transfers data quickly over a trusted network. It does not encrypt the
data. It tries to avoid copying data between kernel and userspace where it can;
We can see the most improvement over other tools like netcat on systems with
low memory bandwidth. fling is extremely Linux-specific, as almost all the
optimisations used beyond what other similar tools do are non-portable.
