+socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two
+independent data channels. Each of these data channels may be a file,
+pipe, device (serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), a socket (UNIX,
+IP4, IP6 - raw, UDP, TCP), an SSL socket, proxy CONNECT connection, a
+file descriptor (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor, a program, or a
+combination of two of these. These modes include generation of
+"listening" sockets, pipes and pseudo terminals.
