Run

#IPv4
tcpsrv 4 $IP $PORT tcploop cmd args...

#IPv4 IN_ANY
tcpsrv 4 0.0.0.0 $PORT tcploop cmd args...

#IPv6
tcpsrv 6 $IP $PORT tcploop cmd args...

#IPv6 IN_ANY
tcpsrv 6 . $PORT tcploop cmd args...

How it works:

'tcpsrv'

tcpsrv $FAMILY $IP $PORT cmd args...

tcpsrv creates a socket, binds it, calls listen and execs the next command. The File-descriptor number of the socket is stored in the Environment variable SOCKET

• $FAMILY : A string containing a '4' (for IPv4) or '6' (for IPv6)
• $IP : An IP address. If the address family is IPv6, and $IP is '.', an IN_ANY equivalent is being used.
• $PORT : The port number.

'unixsrv'

unixsrv $SOCKET_FILE cmd args...

unixsrv creates a socket, binds it, calls listen and execs the next command. The File-descriptor number of the socket is stored in the Environment variable SOCKET
