     nc is a small utility for copying data across TCP
     connections (both IPv4 and IPv6).  It can open a connection
     to a remote host or listen for a connection.  In either
     case, it copies data from the standard input stream to the
     remote host and copies data from the remote host to the
     standard output stream.  nc is useful on its own as a
     debugging and ex- ploration tool as well as a back-end tool
     that can easily be driven by other programs and scripts.
