SH SYNOPSIS
LP
B bcast
[
B \-verbose
]
I port
SH DESCRIPTION
LP
B bcast
is a daemon that binds
I port
on the local machine and broadcasts whatever it receives on its
standard input to any processes that connect to it.  This is done
on a ``you snooze, you lose'' basis; that is, if a process hasn't read
the data that
B bcast
received before it gets another chunk,
B bcast
will not attempt to buffer the old data.  Any read done by that process
will get the most recently-received data.
SH OPTIONS
TP
B \-verbose
puts the program in verbose mode, causing it to print a message whenever
a connection is accepted or rejected.
SH DIAGNOSTICS
LP
Various error messages on system call failures.
SH NOTES
LP
B bcast
will not accept connections from any machines outside
of the Tymnet sub-network.
