'man tcpserver' says:
-llocalname
Do not look up the local host name; use localname
for TCPLOCALHOST.
This means that, simply, instead of making a DNS lookup for setting the
TCPLOCALHOST variable with the name of the localhost, tcpserver trust what
you're declaring with -l (so '0' or whatever you put is the same for him)
and saves time.
I prefer to declare the exact name instead of '0'.
