    Summary: 'socket cat' - multipurpose relay for bidirectional data transfer
    Description: 
    socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two independent
    data channels. Each of these data channels may be a file, pipe, device
    (serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), a socket (UNIX, IP4, IP6 - raw,
    UDP, TCP), an SSL socket, proxy CONNECT connection, a file descriptor
    (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor (readline), a program, or a combination
    of two of these.  These modes include generation of "listening" sockets,
    named pipes, and pseudo terminals.
