Usage: nicat [-reopen rr] [-rR] streamspec Copies stdin to the NIML stream, which will be opened for writing.

-reopen rr == reopen the stream after connection
to the stream specified by ‘rr’
-r == Copy the stream to stdout instead; the
‘streamspec’ will be opened for reading.

-R == Read the stream but don’t copy to stdout.

Intended for testing other programs that use NIML for various services. Example:

aiv -p 4444 & im2niml zork.jpg | nicat tcp:localhost:4444

Starts aiv listening on TCP/IP port 444, then sends image file zork.jpg to that port for display.
