Description : a general purpose Unix tool for linking two bidirectional data streams
<snip>
bidilink is a general purpose Unix tool for linking two bidirectional
data streams. It extends the standard Unix "filter" paradigm to
bidrectional streams.
It has the following stream drivers:
* std: - STDIN, STDOUT of the process
* exec:PROGRAM - fork() off a process and use its STDIN and STDOUT
* tty:TTYDEVICE - Open a TTY device (like a serial port) as client
* pty:[PTYNAME] - Allocate a pseudo TTY device as master
* tcp-client:HOSTNAME:PORT - Connect to another or the local host via TCP/IP
* tcp-server:[IPADDRESS:]PORT - Listen on a local portand wait for an incoming connection
* unix-client:SOCKNAME - Connect to a local Unix domain socket
* unix-server:SOCKNAME - Listen on a local Unix domain socket
There are many uses of bidilink:
* as a "netcat" for unix sockets and serial ports
* a tool for sharing serial ports over SSH (both client and server)
* to bind unix sockets to TCP and vice versa
</snip>
The upstream SVN repository already includes a debian/ directory. check it
out using:
svn checkout svn://seth.intheinter.net/bidilink/trunk bidilink
Using this stuff makes it even simpler to package this software
consisting of only a single binary and a matching man page.

It seems as if socat supersedes bidilink in almost every way. If I had
known of socat earlier I probably wouln't have bothered to write
bidilink.
Thanks for the notice.
It's probably time to close my RFP. ;-)
