Public bug reported:
Hey,
netcat shows a usage error if i try to use the "-t" option:
Example in Bionic:
$ netcat -s 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 22 < /dev/null
usage: nc [-46CDdFhklNnrStUuvZz] [-I length] [-i interval] [-M ttl]
[-m minttl] [-O length] [-P proxy_username] [-p source_port]
[-q seconds] [-s source] [-T keyword] [-V rtable] [-W recvlimit] [-w
timeout]
[-X proxy_protocol] [-x proxy_address[:port]] [destination]
[port]
Example in Xenial:
netcat -s 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 22 < /dev/null
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.4
Manpage shows that the option is still availible and should work. Both systems
use openbsd netcat.
$ type netcat
netcat is hashed (/bin/netcat)
$ ls -lah /bin/netcat

$ ls -lah /etc/alternatives/netcat
