NAME

tcpbug - TCP/IP connection bugging device

SYNOPSIS

tcpbug [ -cx ] [ -btT ] local-port remote-host remote-port

DESCRIPTION

tcpbug forwards a TCP/IP connection to port local-port on the local machine to the port remote-port on remote-host while spying on the connection and writing all data passing through to standard output. All data coming from the client is printed with a greater than sign ( > ) first on each line, and all data coming from the server is printed with a less than sign ( < ) first on each line. Any byte offsets and time-stamps are printed before the greater than or less than sign, and are separated from each other by a colon ( : ).

OPTIONS

	-b		Print the offset of the first byte in the stream for each line.
	-c		Display bytes as individual characters. Printable characters are displayed directly, some control characters appear as C-language escapes ( \n , \r , \t et.c), while others appear as 3-digit octal numbers. This should be similar to the -c switch of od (1).
	-t		Print the time at which the data was received for each line. The time is the number of seconds and microseconds, separated by a decimal point ( . ), since 00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970, as reported by gettimeofday().
	-T		Print the time at which the data was received for each line. The time is the number of seconds and microseconds, separated by a decimal point ( . ), since the connections were established.
	-x		Display each byte as a two digit hexadecimal number.

BUGS

The names of the options are not yet finalized, and may change at a future release.
