netio-0.1

[Moritz Schulte]

Hi there,

I've written a small translator "netio", which provides a filesystem
interface to sockets.  The sockets are created by lookups of the form
{tcp,udp}/HOST/PORT.  IO on the resulting IO port triggers IO on the
underlying socket.

With some bash redirection tricks you can have a simple netcat:

(cat 1>&3 2>/dev/null & cat 0<&3 ) 3<>net/tcp/www.gnu.org/80

Let's you interactively talk to www.gnu.org:80, for example.

(Thanks Neal, for that cat-trick.)

netio can be fetched from
http://duesseldorf.ccc.de/~moritz/files/netio-0.1.tar.gz.  Note, it's
an early version.. it's not yet very complete.
