| Summary: TCP/IP swiss army knife | |
A simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities. This package contains the OpenBSD rewrite of netcat, including support for IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets.
BSD-3-Clause
* Wed Jun 04 2025 psimons@suse.com
- Update netcat to upstream version 1.229.
* Fix build failure with GCC-15.
* In UDP mode, do not test the connection (by writing "XXX" junk)
when ‘-z’ is unset and the standard input is not a TTY.
* rsync: Replace ‘-v’ flag with ‘-P’.
* udp-scan-timeout.patch: Call connection_info() and udptest()
call when ‘-z’ flag is set. This is the upstream behavior.
* Add support for abstract namespace sockets in the AF_UNIX family.
* Make getnameinfo(3) errors non-fatal in report_sock():
report_sock() is used to show the peer's address/name and port
when the '-v' flag is set. Reverse resolution errors need not
be fatal.
* Fix TCP MD5 signature support. The feature now requires the
TCP_MD5SIG_EXT socket option, available since Linux 4.13.
* Make -q0 quit immediately also with UDP sockets.
* Re-enable specifying client socket for UNIX-domain datagram
sockets. Regression introduced in version 1.187.
- Added "abstract-unix-domain-socket.patch": when using '-U' to
connect() or bind() to a UNIX domain socket, if the address
(path) starts with "@", it is read as an abstract namespace
socket.
- Added "make-getnameinfo-errors-nonfatal-in-report_sock.patch":
report_sock() is used to show the peer's address/name and port
when the ‘-v’ flag is set. Reverse resolution errors need not be
fatal.
- Renamed the misspelled "port-to-linux-with-libsd.patch" to
"port-to-linux-with-libbsd.patch".
- Refreshed patches:
* broadcast-support.patch
* build-without-TLS-support.patch
* connect-timeout.patch

- Do not use hand provided CMakeLists.txt but rely on upstream makefile
* Fri Jan 17 2014 crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- drop dependency on glib, strlcpy can be implemented with
snprintf with glibc/linux
- drop "quilt" from buildrequires, no longer used.
- Use fvisibiliy=hidden to build, this is a program not
a library and no symbols should be exported.
- modified patches:
* glib-strlcpy.patch
* Mon Sep 02 2013 pth@suse.de
- Split up the huge ubuntu patch into a debian specific patch,
a patch that creates the examples, a patch with the openbasd-compat
stuff and single files for each of the patches in debian/patches.
This hugely eases maintainabilty:
connect-timeout.patch, dccp.patch, gcc-warnings.patch,
getservbyname.patch, glib-strlcpy.patch, help-version-exit.patch,
nc-1.84-udp_stop.patch, netcat-info.patch, netcat-openbsd-debian.patch,
netcat-openbsd-examples.patch, netcat-openbsd-openbsd-compat.patch,
no-strtonum.patch, pollhup.patch, quit-timer.patch, reuseaddr.patch,
send-crlf.patch, silence-z.patch, socks-b64-prototype.patch,
udp-scan-timeout.patch, verbose-message-to-stderr.patch,
verbose-numeric-port.patch.
