.SH NAME
tcpmgr \- accept and place calls via the TCP protocol
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /usr/ipc/mgrs/tcpmgr
[
.BI -m " outnet"
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Tcpmgr
receives and places TCP calls on an Internet TCP/IP network.
Outbound TCP calls may be placed by calling
.I ipcopen
with network name
.B tcp
(see
.IR ipc (3)).
Inbound calls to TCP port
.I n
are handed to the local service
listed for that port in
.FR /usr/ipc/lib/inservices ,
or to service
.BI tcp. n
if there is no listing.
.PP
Option
.B -m
tells
.I tcpmgr
to claim to place outbound calls for network
.I outnet
rather than
.BR tcp .
.PP
The TCP protocol runs atop one or more IP networks.
.I Tcpmgr
arranges to receive all inbound TCP calls on all active IP networks,
but other arrangements
must be used to activate the IP networks themselves;
see
.IR ipconfig (8).
.PP
.I Tcpmgr
records its activity
in file
.I outnet
in directory
.BR /usr/ipc/log ,
default
.BR /usr/ipc/log/tcp .
.PP
This command is usually run once from
.IR rc (8).
