# Netcat ported to cosmopolitan libc
Currently functionality is quite limited for Windows, there are some strange quirks (such as `fcntl` won't work for Windows, I've just muted out the error)
But it does build, and it does do stuff on windows (doesn't just completely crash). Maybe it will be fixed later, who knows.
## build and run
build:
`./cosmo_build.sh`
run:
`./netcat.com`
## original README
(from https://netcat.sourceforge.net, version 0.71)
I probably got the not-so-updated version of netcat to port, but hey, like most C programs written for \*nix, it still works just fine on every other unix system)

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.
This file will be written soon or late...
