Available Packages
Name : netcat

Release : 1.el8
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 35 k
Source : netcat-1.226-1.el8.src.rpm
Repository : epel
Summary : OpenBSD netcat to read and write data across connections using TCP or UDP
URL : https://man.openbsd.org/nc.1
License : BSD-3-Clause AND BSD-2-Clause
Description : The OpenBSD nc (or netcat) utility can be used for just about anything involving
: TCP, UDP, or UNIX-domain sockets. It can open TCP connections, send UDP packets,
: listen on arbitrary TCP and UDP ports, do port scanning, and deal with both IPv4
: and IPv6. Unlike telnet(1), nc scripts nicely, and separates error messages onto
: standard error instead of sending them to standard output, as telnet(1) might do
: with some.
