Each channel 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 (readline), a program, or a combination of two of these. These modes include generation of 'listening' sockets, named pipes, and pseudo terminals." skip: homepage: http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/
