If +.I hostC +is connected as a client to hostA, events from from hostA are sent +to all connected network clients, i.e. hostB and hostC. +However, only one connection is allowed from a client to a server. +.PP +To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by ctrl-C or +sending signal to them. The server will automatically quit. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B \-p port +Specify the TCP port number or TCP service name. +.TP +.B \-s addr +Subscribe to the given address for read automatically. +.TP +.B \-d addr +Subscribe to the given address for write automatically. + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +aconnect(1), pmidi(1) + +.SH AUTHOR +Takashi Iwai <iwai@ww.uni-erlangen.de>. |
