COMMENT(!MOD!zsh/net/tcp Manipulation of TCP sockets !MOD!) The tt(zsh/net/tcp) module makes available one builtin command: startitem() findex(ztcp) cindex(TCP) cindex(sockets, TCP) item(tt(ztcp) [ tt(-acdfltv) ] [ var(args) ])( tt(ztcp) is implemented as a builtin to allow full use of shell command line editing, file I/O, and job control mechanisms. If tt(ztcp) is run with no options, it will output the contents of its session table. ) enditem() subsect(Outbound Connections) cindex(sockets, outbound TCP) startitem() item(tt(ztcp) [ tt(-v) ] [ tt(-d) var(fd) ] var(host) [ var(port) ])( Open a new TCP connection to var(host). If the var(port) is omitted, it will default to port 23. The connection will be added to the session table and the shell parameter tt(REPLY) will be set to the file descriptor associated with that connection. If tt(-d) is specified, the first non-option argument will be taken as the target file descriptor for the connection. In order to elicit more verbose output, use tt(-v). ) enditem() subsect(Inbound Connections) cindex(sockets, inbound TCP) startitem() item(tt(ztcp) tt(-l) [ tt(-v) ] [ tt(-d) var(fd) ] var(port))( tt(ztcp -l) will open a socket listening on TCP var(port). The socket will be added to the session table and the shell parameter tt(REPLY) will be set to the file descriptor associated with that listener. If tt(-d) is specified, the first non-option argument will be taken as the target file descriptor for the connection. In order to elicit more verbose output, use tt(-v). ) item(tt(ztcp) tt(-a) [ tt(-tv) ] [ tt(-d) var(targetfd) ] var(listenfd))( tt(ztcp -a) will accept an incoming connection to the port associated with var(listenfd). The connection will be added to the session table and the shell parameter tt(REPLY) will be set to the file descriptor associated with the inbound connection. If tt(-d) is specified, the first non-option argument will be taken as the target file descriptor for the connection. If tt(-t) is specified, tt(ztcp) will return if no incoming connection is pending. Otherwise it will wait for one. In order to elicit more verbose output, use tt(-v). ) enditem() subsect(Closing Connections) cindex(sockets, closing TCP) startitem() xitem(tt(ztcp) tt(-cf) [ tt(-v) ] [ var(fd) ]) item(tt(ztcp) tt(-c) [ tt(-v) ] [ var(fd) ])( tt(ztcp -c) will close the socket associated with var(fd). The socket will be removed from the session table. If var(fd) is not specified, tt(ztcp) will close everything in the session table. Normally, sockets registered by zftp (see ifzman(\ zmanref(zshmodules) )\ ifnzman(\ noderef(The zsh/zftp Module) )) cannot be closed this way. In order to force such a socket closed, use tt(-f). In order to elicit more verbose output, use tt(-v). ) enditem()
