It extends the standard Unix "filter" paradigma to bidrectional streams. . It has the following stream drivers: * std: - STDIN, STDOUT of the process * exec:PROGRAM - fork() off a process and use its STDIN and STDOUT * tty:TTYDEVICE - Open a TTY device (like a serial port) as client * pty:[PTYNAME] - Allocate a pseudo TTY device as master * tcp-client:HOSTNAME:PORT - Connect to another or the local host via TCP/IP * tcp-server:[IPADDRESS:]PORT - Listen on a local port and wait for an incoming connection * unix-client:SOCKNAME - Connect to a local Unix domain socket * unix-server:SOCKNAME - Listen on a local Unix domain socket
