NAME

       spipe - spiped client utility

SYNOPSIS

       spipe -t <target socket> -k <key file> [-b <bind address>] [-f | -g] [-j] [-o <connection timeout>]
       spiped -v

OPTIONS

       -t <target socket>
              Address to which spipe should connect.  Must be in one of the following formats:

       •      /absolute/path/to/unix/socket

       •      host.name:port

       •      [ip.v4.ad.dr]:port

       •      [ipv6::addr]:port

       -k <key file>
              Use  the  provided  key  file  to authenticate and encrypt.  Pass "-" to read from standard input.
              Note that reading the key via standard input will make it impossible to  read  anything  else  via
              standard input, thereby limiting spipe to receiving data but not sending any.

       -b <bind address>
              Bind  the outgoing address.  If this is a network address, the port number may either be specified
              or left to the operating system.  If you specify the port number, the operating  system  will  not
              permit  you  to  open a second connection until the first one has completely expired (i.e. the TCP
              state is no longer in the TIME-WAIT state).

       -f     Use fast/weak handshaking: This reduces the CPU time spent in  the  initial  connection  setup  by
              disabling the Diffie-Hellman handshake, at the expense of losing perfect forward secrecy.

       -g     Require perfect forward secrecy by dropping connections if the other host is using the -f option.

       -j     Disable transport layer keep-alives.  (By default they are enabled.)

       -o <connection timeout>
              Timeout,  in seconds, after which an attempt to connect to the target or a protocol handshake will
              be aborted (and the connection dropped) if not completed.  Defaults to 5s.

       -v     Print version number.
