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?
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!
