Overview
--------

"multiplex" is a minimalistic tool that reads continuous stream of
data from its standard input and multiplexes it to all the currently
connected TCP clients. It's intended to be a companion to "socat" and
"netcat".

It tries to read a chunk of up to 8192 bytes of input data every time
anything is available, and writes the same buffer to all the clients
in non-blocking mode. If output buffers are too small or the link is
too slow, the corresponding client is dropped immediately, no
additional buffering is performed. Clients can connect and disconnect
any time and start receiving as soon as new data is available.


Usage
-----
$ multiplex <port>
Read continious stream of data from standard input and multiplex it
to all the connected TCP clients.

<port> is the TCP port number to listen on

Example reading from a file:

$ tail -F tracelog.bin | multiplex 7777

Example reading from a named pipe:

$ ( while true; do cat tracepipe.bin; done ) | multiplex 7777
