nc command memorandum

I see and use the nc command a little bit, but every time I see it, I find out what it does, so make a note of it.

Overview

A command to start a simple client / server process.

Execute as follows to confirm communication as a client. nc Target host (IP address, etc.) Port number

It is also possible to send the header to the destination port for processing. ʻEcho -en "GET / HTTP / 1.1 \ n \ n" | nc Target host (IP address, etc.) 80`

Check if the connection destination is alive

You can check whether the connection destination is running by the return value of nc. I want to use it when waiting for the destination container to start in Docker.

wait_for_port() {
  local name="$1" host="$2" port="$3"
  local j=0
  while ! nc -z "$host" "$port" >/dev/null 2>&1 < /dev/null; do
    j=$((j+1))
    if [ $j -ge $TRY_LOOP ]; then
      echo >&2 "$(date) - $host:$port still not reachable, giving up"
      exit 1
    fi
    echo "$(date) - waiting for $name... $j/$TRY_LOOP"
    sleep 5
  done
}

-W host:port
    Requests that standard input and output on the client be forwarded to host
    on port over the secure channel. Implies -N, -T, ExitOnForwardFailure and
    ClearAllForwardings, though these can be overridden in the configuration
    file or using -o command line options.
