tcp-env - set up TCP-related environment variables
tcp-env [ -rR ] [ -ttimeout ] program
[ arg ... ]
The input for tcp-env must be a TCP connection. tcp-env finds out
information about that connection, puts the information into several
environment variables as described in tcp-environ(5), and runs
program with the given arguments.
Usually tcp-env is run from inetd. It might instead
be run from another server that already sets up the right environment
variables; if PROTO is set to TCP when tcp-env is
invoked, tcp-env assumes that all the other variables are set up
properly, and it does not check whether the input is a TCP connection.
- -r
- (Default.) Attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote
host.
- -R
- Do not attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host.
- -ttimeout
- Give up on the TCPREMOTEINFO connection attempt after
timeout seconds. Default: 30.
