tucclient − connects a unix domain client to a server via tcp.

tucclient udsfile server [-p port]

tucclient enables a client using a unix domain socket to reach its server via tcp. It does that by first connecting to its counterpart, the tucserver, which makes a unix domain socket server available via TCP. It then acts as a server for the path of the unix domain socket udsfile so that the uds client can connect to it.

By default, port 3216 (or another default port specified at compile time) is used for the tcp connection, though this can be overriden with the -p argument.

tucclient was originally developped by the frocor project.

connect to a tucserver at foo.bar.org and listen for the uds client at /tmp/yourudsfile:

tucclient /tmp/yourudsfile foo.bar.org
