How to install the IODP tools

Copyright of the IODP tools

The tcpsocket program

The udpsocket program

The uxstreamsocket program

The uxdgramsocket program

The file-iodp program

The echoserver program


tcpsocket creates a TCP listener socket and runs a program. It allows the manipulation of certain TCP options and may run the program with reduced privileges, under a different account.

udpsocket creates a UDP socket and runs a program, possibly with reduced privileges, under a different account.

uxstreamsocket creates a unix domain listener stream socket and runs a program, possibly with reduced privileges, under a different account.

uxdgrammsocket creates a unix domain datagram socket and runs a program, possibly with reduced privileges, under a different account.

udpsocket creates a TCP listener socket and runs a program, possibly with reduced privileges, under a different account.

echoserver implements the echo and discard TDP and UDP services on top of udpsocket and tcpsocket.

The tools conform to the IODP protocol specification, which defines a simple way for client programs to get information about the file handles they inherit.
