      tcpserver waits for incoming connections and, for each connection, runs a
      program of your choice. Your program receives environment variables
      showing the local and remote host names, IP addresses, and port numbers.

      tcpserver offers a concurrency limit to protect you from running out of
      processes and memory. When you are handling 40 (by default) simultaneous
      connections, tcpserver smoothly defers acceptance of new connections.

      tcpserver also provides TCP access control features, similar to
      tcp-wrappers/tcpd's hosts.allow but much faster. Its access control rules
      are compiled into a hashed format with cdb, so it can easily deal with
      thousands of different hosts.

      This package includes a recordio tool that monitors all the input and
      output of a server.

      tcpclient makes a TCP connection and runs a program of your choice. It
      sets up the same environment variables as tcpserver.

      This package includes several sample clients built on top of tcpclient:
      who@, date@, finger@, http@, tcpcat, and mconnect.

      tcpserver and tcpclient conform to UCSPI, the UNIX Client-Server Program
      Interface, using the TCP protocol. UCSPI tools are available for several
      different networks.
