 24.1 Description
 ================
 
 A module zsh/net/tcp is provided to provide network I/O over TCP/IP from
 within the shell; see its description in  Zsh Modules .  This
 manual page describes a function suite based on the module.  If the
 module is installed, the functions are usually installed at the same
 time, in which case they will be available for autoloading in the
 default function search path.  In addition to the zsh/net/tcp module,
 the zsh/zselect module is used to implement timeouts on read operations.
 For troubleshooting tips, consult the corresponding advice for the zftp
 functions described in  Zftp Function System .
 
 There are functions corresponding to the basic I/O operations open,
 close, read and send, named tcp_open etc., as well as a function
 tcp_expect for pattern match analysis of data read as input.  The system
 makes it easy to receive data from and send data to multiple named
 sessions at once.  In addition, it can be linked with the shell's line
 editor in such a way that input data is automatically shown at the
 terminal.  Other facilities available including logging, filtering and
 configurable output prompts.
 
 To use the system where it is available, it should be enough to
 'autoload -U tcp_open' and run tcp_open as documented below to start a
 session.  The tcp_open function will autoload the remaining functions.
