 Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 6:25 pm Post subject: which package is the network command nc in? |
 |
|
The 'nc' command comes installed as standard on Ubuntu and Centos machines as far as I can tell.
I would like to install it on my Gentoo box,
but eix nc gives me almost everything and Google fails because the name is two short!
(http://www.computerhope.com/unix/nc.htm)
Related question, is their a website for unix commands -> portage package in general ?
Many thanks

zeonglow, et al ...
It should be noted that > net-analyzer/nmap-6.0, with the ncat useflag enabled, also offers an 'nc' (/usr/bin/ncat) ... incase the other flavours are not enough for your network catenation needs :)
Also, if you emerge app-portage/pfl you can use 'e-file' to search for packages containing a specific file.
