Packages and Binaries:
socat
Socat (for SOcket CAT) establishes two bidirectional byte streams and transfers data between them. Data channels may be files, pipes, devices (terminal or modem, etc.), or sockets (Unix, IPv4, IPv6, raw, UDP, TCP, SSL). It provides forking, logging and tracing, different modes for interprocess communication and many more options.
It can be used, for example, as a TCP relay (one-shot or daemon), as an external socksifier, as a shell interface to Unix sockets, as an IPv6 relay, as a netcat and rinetd replacement, to redirect TCP-oriented programs to a serial line, or to establish a relatively secure environment (su and chroot) for running client or server shell scripts inside network connections. Socat supports sctp as of 1.7.0.

filan
Multipurpose relay (SOcket CAT)
[email protected]:~# filan -h
filan by Gerhard Rieger and contributors - see http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/
Analyze file descriptors of the process
Usage:
filan [options]
options:
-?|-h print this help text
-d increase verbosity (use up to 4 times)
-i<fdnum> only analyze this fd
-n<fdnum> analyze all fds from 0 up to fdnum-1 (default: 1024)
-s simple output with just type and socket address or path
-S like -s but improved format and contents
-f<filename> analyze file system entry
-T<seconds> wait before analyzing, useful to connect with debugger
-r raw output for time stamps and rdev
-L follow symbolic links instead of showing their properties
-o<filename> output goes to filename, that can be:
a regular file name, the output goes to that
+<filedes> , output goes to the file descriptor (which must be open writable)
the 3 special names stdin stdout and stderr
procan
Multipurpose relay (SOcket CAT)
[email protected]:~# procan -h
procan by Gerhard Rieger and contributors - send bug reports to [email protected]
Analyze system parameters of process
Usage:
procan [options]
options:
-?|-h print a help text describing command line options
-c print values of compile time C defines
socat
Multipurpose relay (SOcket CAT)
[email protected]:~# socat -h
socat by Gerhard Rieger and contributors - see www.dest-unreach.org
Usage:
socat [options] <bi-address> <bi-address>
options:
-V print version and feature information to stdout, and exit
-h|-? print a help text describing command line options and addresses
-hh like -h, plus a list of all common address option names
-hhh like -hh, plus a list of all available address option names
-d[ddd] increase verbosity (use up to 4 times; 2 are recommended)
-D analyze file descriptors before loop
-ly[facility] log to syslog, using facility (default is daemon)
-lf<logfile> log to file
-ls log to stderr (default if no other log)
-lm[facility] mixed log mode (stderr during initialization, then syslog)
-lp<progname> set the program name used for logging
-lu use microseconds for logging timestamps
-lh add hostname to log messages
-v verbose text dump of data traffic
-x verbose hexadecimal dump of data traffic
-r <file> raw dump of data flowing from left to right
-R <file> raw dump of data flowing from right to left
-b<size_t> set data buffer size (8192)
-s sloppy (continue on error)
-t<timeout> wait seconds before closing second channel
-T<timeout> total inactivity timeout in seconds
-u unidirectional mode (left to right)
-U unidirectional mode (right to left)
-g do not check option groups
-L <lockfile> try to obtain lock, or fail
-W <lockfile> try to obtain lock, or wait
-4 prefer IPv4 if version is not explicitly specified
-6 prefer IPv6 if version is not explicitly specified
