+ help
+ This is the GNU Flavour of the "netcat" utility.
+
+ Netcat is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes
+ data across network connections using TCP or UDP protocol.
+ It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be
+ used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts.
+ At the same time it is a feature-rich network debugging and
+ exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of
+ connection you would need and has several interesting built-in
+ capabilities.
+
+ It provides access to the following main features:
+
+ * Outbound and inbound connections, TCP or UDP,
+ to or from any ports.
+ * Featured tunneling mode which allows also special
+ tunneling such as UDP to TCP, with the possibility
+ of specifying all network parameters (source port/interface,
+ listening port/interface, and the remote host allowed to
+ connect to the tunnel.
+ * Built-in port-scanning capabilities, with randomizer.
+ * Advanced usage options, such as buffered send-mode
+ (one line every N seconds), and hexdump (to stderr or
+ to a specified file) of trasmitted and received data.
+ * Optional RFC854 telnet codes parser and responder.
+
+
+ The GNU Netcat is distributed freely under the GNU General
+ Public License (GPL). See the official GNU Netcat project
+ homepage for more info: http://netcat.sourceforge.net/
