NAME
       connect - create a simple client with stdin/stdout filter

SYNOPSIS
       connect [-eios] host port ["command [args ...]"]

       takeshi [-eios] host port ["command [args ...]"]

DESCRIPTION
       The  connect  command  is  used to create a simple client.
       Connect connects to a server  located  in  host:port,  and
       executes  command  as  a child process with connecting its
       stdin/stdout to the outgoing TCP connection.

       Options are:

       -e     Connect stderr to an incoming TCP connection.

       -i     Close a TCP connection when a client send EOF.

       -o     Keep a TCP connection when the server send EOF.

       -s     Does not connect stdin nor stdout  to  an  incoming
	      TCP connection.

       If  command  are  omitted,  connect works as a filter.  In
       this case the option -e is not available.

       The takeshi command is identical  with  connect,  but  the
       name dictincts itself from the older version and emphasize
       IPv6 awareness.
