Standardize argument naming for "sourceaddr" and unify the wording a bit,

similar to what deraadt@ recently did in other manual pages.

Service names are still resolved with -n

Just like pfctl(8)'s -N, this flag only avoid DNS; "nc -vz ::1 socks" still works. Fix documentation by copying pfctl's wording. OK deraadt

too many words in previous;

port ranges can be ambiguous with hypenated port-names.

2018-12-27T17:22:45+00:00

specify that ranges must be numeric, and only check for range if first argument is a digit. identified by danj, fix suggest by sthen

-T applies to ip6 too, apparently;

Make the wording more concise, use the imperative throughout, state

more precisely which options require which other options, add many missing incompatibilities, mention the default for -e, and some macro cleanup. OK jmc@ tb@

Allow TLS ciphers and protocols to be specified for nc(1).

2017-11-28T16:59:10+00:00

Replace the "tlscompat" and "tlsall" options with "cipher" and "protocol" options that are key/value pairs. This allows the user to specify ciphers and protocols in a form that are accepted by tls_config_set_ciphers() and tls_config_set_protocols() respectively. ok beck@ (also ok jmc@ for a previous revision of the man page).

grammar was ass backwards;

Add a "-T tlscompat" option to nc(1), which enables the use of all TLS

protocols and "compat" ciphers. This allows for TLS connections to TLS servers that are using less than ideal cipher suites, without having to resort to "-T tlsall" which enables all known cipher suites. Diff from Kyle J. McKay ok beck@
