# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| netcat: GNU netcat (reads and writes data across network connections) netcat: netcat: Netcat is a featured networking utility which reads and writes data netcat: across network connections, using the TCP/IP protocol. netcat: It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used netcat: directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts.
