desc: "From the tcpcat README:\n\nTcpcat is a simple program that is like `cat' but
  it works over tcp streams\nto allow you to cat from one host to another.\n\nThe
  host common way to use this program whould be something like this:\non host a: $
  tcpcat -l 93255 | gzip -dc | tar xvf -\non host b: $ tcpcat -h hosta:93255  file.tar.gz\n\nAnother
  good use for this program is debugging network stuff. When debugging\na newtork
  client or server you can pipe the output of tcpcat to a hex dump\n(I recomend xxd
  which comes with vim). Also it can act as a crude telnet server\nwhen invoded with
  --listen, --input, and --output, this mode is quite useful\nfor network program
  debugging as well.\n\nAuthor:\t\tAngus Mackay <amackay@gusnet.cx>\nWWW: \thttp://ess4.engr.uvic.ca/proj/tcpcat\n"
