tcp-env(1)

NAME

   tcp-env - set up TCP-related environment variables

SYNOPSIS

   tcp-env [ -rR ] [ -ttimeout ] program [ arg ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

   The  input  for  tcp-env  must  be a TCP connection.  tcp-env finds out
   information about that connection, puts the  information  into  several
   environment  variables as described in tcp-environ(5), and runs program
   with the given arguments.

   Usually tcp-env is run from  inetd.   It  might  instead  be  run  from
   another server that already sets up the right environment variables; if
   PROTO is set to TCP when tcp-env is invoked, tcp-env assumes  that  all
   the  other variables are set up properly, and it does not check whether
   the input is a TCP connection.

OPTIONS

   -r     (Default.)  Attempt to  obtain  TCPREMOTEINFO  from  the  remote
          host.

   -R     Do not attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host.

   -ttimeout
          Give  up  on  the TCPREMOTEINFO connection attempt after timeout
          seconds.  Default: 30.
