TCPBUG(1)TCPBUG(1)NAMEtcpbug - TCP/IP connection bugging device
SYNOPSIStcpbug [-cx] [-btT] local-port remote-host remote-port
DESCRIPTIONtcpbug 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 con‐
nection 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-lan‐
guage 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.
