| 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 Peter Simons <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
* dccp-support.patch
* destination-port-list.patch
* enable-udp-ip_recverr.patch

* Tue Apr 08 2025 Friedrich Haubensak <hsk17@mail.de>
- add -std=gnu99 to CFLAGS to fix gcc15 compile time errors
* Mon Nov 22 2021 Peter Simons <psimons@suse.com>
- Fix download URL. Debian has purged older versions from their
servers.
* Tue Dec 15 2020 Cristian Rodríguez <crrodriguez@opensuse.org>
- Build with hidden visibility since no symbols should be exported
* Tue Dec 15 2020 Cristian Rodríguez <crrodriguez@opensuse.org>
- enable-udp-ip_recverr.patch: Enable IP_RECVERR on UDP sockets
to match *bsd behaviour and avoid long timeouts if an error
ocurrs.
* Mon Dec 07 2020 Cristian Rodríguez <crrodriguez@opensuse.org>
- Add port-select-on-connect.patch: if -s is given but not -p
do not select port at bind() but at connect() time.

- 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
