Well, I did a closer look at the page. /dev/tcp, /dev/udp and /dev/ip do not really exist, they are virtual devices created by bash. So this is not <em>specific</em> to Linux at all; it would work just as well on bash on Solaris etc. How useful is it? You deciede but it certainly is not a general purpose programming API; C or Perl would give access to these APIs. Then again, why use a sabre if the Swiss army knife can do the job? | |||
