ucspi-proxy - Copy data between a UCSPI client and server
ucspi-proxy [ -v ] [ -t TIMEOUT ] [ HOST PORT ]
This program is a simple loop copying data from a UCSPI server (file descriptor
0) to a client, and from a client to a server (FD 1). If either socket closes,
ucspi-proxy exits. The other ucspi-proxy-* programs are based on
this simple loop and have similar usage.
If HOST and PORT are given on the command line,
ucspi-proxy will make a TCP connection with the given parameters. If
neither are present, ucspi-proxy will use file descriptor 6 for the
client socket, as provided by UCSPI client programs.
- -l MAXLINE
- The maximum length of lines (from either server or client) to copy to the
log. Defaults to 64.
- -s ADDRESS
- Set the local source address for outbound connections. Use auto to
take the address from the original socket address.
- -t TIMEOUT
- When making an connection, ucspi-proxy will wait a maximum of
TIMEOUT seconds before giving up. Defaults to 30.
- -T TIMEOUT
- ucspi-proxy will exit after TIMEOUT seconds of inactivity on
both sockets. Defaults to no timeout.
- -v
- Print messages about errors and byte counts. Without this option,
ucspi-proxy is silent.
Exits 0 if a normal end of file was reached on one of the sockets. Otherwise it
exits 1.
