Multipurpose relay for bidirectional data transfer
socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two
independent data channels. Each of these data channels 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, a program, or a
combination of two of these.

- Update to 1.8.0.0:
* Support for network namespaces (option netns)
* TCP client now automatically tries all addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) provided by nameserver until success
* Implementation of POSIX message queue (mq) control and access on Linux (addresses POSIXMQ-READ and following)
* New wrapper script socat-chain.sh allows to stack two addresses, e.g.HTTP proxy connect over SSL
* New script socat-mux.sh allows n-to-1 / 1-to-n communications
* New script socat-broker.sh allows group communications
* Experimental socks5 client feature
* Address ACCEPT-FD for systemd "inetd" mode
* UDP-Lite and DCCP address types
* Addresses SOCKETPAIR and SHELL
* New option bind-tmpname allows forked off children to bind UNIX domain client sockets to random unique pathes
* New option retrieve-vlan (with INTERFACE addresses) now makes kernel keep VLAN tags in incoming packets
* Simple statistics output with Socat option --statistics and with SIGUSR1
* A couple of new options, many fixes and corrections, see file CHANGES
- Drop socat-common-fixes.patch (no longer necessary)
- Refactor socat-ignore-tests-failure-boo1078346.patch (test suite no longer exits at this stage)
- Add socat-test-dhparam fixture (reduce build load and time)
- Add socat-test-without-tty.patch for testing without tty.
- Note: This version introduces "socat1", linking to "socat"
- Note: This version introduces additional shell scripts, those are shipped in a new "socat-extra" subpackage
- Update to 1.7.4.4:
* FIX: In error.c msg2() there was a stack overflow on long messages: The
terminating \0 Byte was written behind the last position.
* FIX: UDP-RECVFROM with fork sometimes terminated when multiple packets
arrived.
* FIX: a couple of weaknesses and errors when accessing invalid or
incompatible file system entries with UNIX domain, file, and generic
addresses.
