Description: a general purpose Unix tool for linking two bidirectional data streams
 bidilink is a general purpose Unix tool for linking two bidirectional data streams.
 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
