  netpipes
       
           A package by Robert Forsman 
          to manipulate {BSD Unix} {TCP/IP} stream {sockets}.  The
          netpipes package makes TCP/IP streams usable in {shell
          scripts}.  It can also simplify {client-server} code by


          allowing the programmer to skip all the tedious programming
          related to sockets and concentrate on writing a
          filter/service.
