tucserver − Allow a unix domain socket server to be reached with tcp

tucserver udsfile [-p port]

tucserver makes a unix domain socket connection available via tcp. it does that by connecting to the unix domain socket server and then listening on a tcp port (port 3216, any other port specified at compile time, or a port specified with the -p command line option). If its counterpart, the tucclient, connects to it via tcp, tucserver sends any data it receives via tcp from tucclient to the unix domain socket server and the other way around.

tucserver was originally developped by the frocor project.

Make the unix domain socket /tmp/yourudsfile available via TCP:

tucserver /tmp/yourudsfile
