Description : a package to manipulate BSD TCP/IP stream sockets
NETPIPES 4 by Robert Forsman <thoth@purplefrog.com>
The netpipes package makes TCP/IP streams usable in shell
scripts. It can also simplify client/server code by
allowing the programmer to skip all the tedious program-
ming bits related to sockets and concentrate on writing a
filter/service.
This tool is also used in famous knoppix distribution and I think after
its "stable" since 1998 it should go into debian ;-).
