Description Christopher Head 2008-12-23 00:32:50 UTC 
GNU netcat supports the "-c" command-line parameter which causes netcat to close the network connection when it sees EOF on STDIN. This option is extremely useful in writing scripts with netcat but is not documented in the man page. It should be.

Reproducible: Always
