+ default n
+ help
+ Netcat is a featured networking utility which reads and writes data
+ across network connections, using the TCP/IP 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.
