Description: | A TCP/IP pipe is a user space programme that listens for TCP/IP connections on
port on the local host and when a client connects makes a connection to a
TCP/IP port, possibly on another host. Once both connections are established
data sent on one connection is relayed to the other, hence forming a
bi-directional pipe.
Uses include enabling connections to specific ports on hosts behind a
packet filter.
This code is intended primarily as an example of how many of the
features of libvanessa_socket work. |
