tcp-env(1)                User Commands                tcp-env(1)



NAME
     tcp-env - set up TCP-related environment variables

SYNOPSIS
     tcp-env [ -rR ] [ -ttimeout ] program [ arg ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     The  input  for  tcp-env  must be a TCP connection.  tcp-env
     finds out information about that connection, puts the infor-
     mation  into  several  environment variables as described in
     tcp-environ(5), and runs program with the given arguments.

     Usually tcp-env is run from inetd.  It might instead be  run
     from  another server that already sets up the right environ-
     ment variables; if PROTO is  set  to  TCP  when  tcp-env  is
     invoked,  tcp-env  assumes  that all the other variables are
     set up properly, and it does not check whether the input  is
     a TCP connection.

OPTIONS
     -r   (Default.)   Attempt  to  obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the
          remote host.

     -R   Do not attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the  remote
          host.

     -ttimeout
          Give  up  on the TCPREMOTEINFO connection attempt after
          timeout seconds.  Default: 30.
