The minsslconnect program

minsslconnect establishes a minssl-tunneled TCP connection to an Internet host. What it reads on stdin is encrypted and written to the network; what it reads on the network is decrypted and written on stdout.

Interface

     minsslconnect [ minsslclient options ] host port

• minsslconnect establishes a minssl connection to the host host on port port.
• It transmits its stdin input to the peer across the minssl tunnel; it prints the peer's output on stdout.
• It exits 111 on a temporary error; for the other exit codes, check the minssl-tunnel page.
• minsslconnect needs ioconnect from the conn-tools package.

Internals

minsslconnect rewrites to minsslclient options host port ioconnect 0 6 7, which itself rewrites to tcpclient options host port minssl minssl-env ioconnect 0 6 7; and the remaining process with the same pid as minsslconnect is named minssl-tunnel.
