desc: "tcping does a TCP connect to the given ip/port combination. \nThe user can
  specify a timeout in seconds. \nThis is useful in shell scripts running in firewalled
  environments. \nOften SYNs are just being dropped by firewalls, \nthus connection
  establishment will be retried several times \n(for minutes) until a TCP timeout
  is reached. \nWith tcping it is possible to check first if the desired port \nis
  reachable and then start connection establishment.\n\nAuthor:\tMarc Kirchner <mail(at)marc(dash)kirchner(dot)de>\nWWW:\thttp://www.linuxco.de/tcping/tcping.html\n"
