The SOCAT is a two-way data transfer relay between two separate channels. These data channels include files, pipelines, devices (terminals or http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/3280.html "> modems, etc.), sockets (UNIX,IP4,IP6-RAW,UDP,TCP), SSL, SOCKS4 client, or agent connect.
SOCAT supports broadcast and multicast, abstract UNIX sockets, Linux Tun, GNU ReadLine, and PTY. It provides different modes of bifurcation, logging, and interprocess communication. Multiple options can be used to adjust socat and its channels, socat can act as a TCP relay (one-time or daemon) as a daemon process based on socksifier, as a shell UNIX socket interface, as a IP6 relay, or TCP-oriented programs are redirected to a serial line.
Socat 1.7.2.0 This release allows Tun interfaces without IP addresses to fix 18 bugs and 11 changes to improve platform support, especially Mac OS X Lion, Dragonfly, and Android.
