NAME
       ucspi-proxy - Copy data between a UCSPI client and server

SYNOPSIS
       ucspi-proxy [ -v ] [ -t TIMEOUT ] [ HOST PORT ]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is a simple loop copying data from a UCSPI server (file
       descriptor 0) to a client, and from a client to a server (FD 1).  If
       either socket closes, ucspi-proxy exits.  The other ucspi-proxy-*
       programs are based on this simple loop and have similar usage.

       If HOST and PORT are given on the command line, ucspi-proxy will make a
       TCP connection with the given parameters.  If neither are present,
       ucspi-proxy will use file descriptor 6 for the client socket, as
       provided by UCSPI client programs.

OPTIONS
       -t TIMEOUT
              When making an connection, ucspi-proxy will wait a maximum of
              TIMEOUT seconds before giving up.  Defaults to 30.

       -v     Print messages about errors and byte counts.  Without this
              option, ucspi-proxy is silent.

RETURN VALUE
       Exits 0 if a normal end of file was reached on one of the sockets.
       Otherwise it exits 1.
