Oh, nice! But I can't find the right man page.

V8 doesn't have a /dev/tcp man page but the interface is documented at /usr/include/sys/inet/tcp_user.h[0].

Here are the commands I used to identify the right file.

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -I "/dev/tcp" | less

Edited to add the command sequence for the historical record.

Edited again to fix wording of the first sentence.

That's not very documented. How would someone use this?

[tjalfi]

V10 has a man page. Extract v10src.tar and look at man/adm/man4/tcp.4.

Okay, this I took a quick look at it, and this seems way to awkward to use from a shell script. It's pretty much C only. I guess Plan 9 does better.

thanks!
