NAME
theft-server - CLC-INTERCAL networking
SYNOPSIS
theft-server --port=port [options]
DESCRIPTION
The theft-server mediates the communication between two CLC-INTERCAL
programs with the internet extension. It keeps a list of process IDs
running on the current computer so it can provide lists of processes
which can be engaged in INTERcal NETworking; it also responds to
broadcasts allowing other CLC-INTERCAL programs on the LAN to know
there is something happening on this computer.
Under normal conditions, the theft-server is started automatically by a
CLC-INTERCAL programs with the internet extension (unless one is
already running, of course!) because the extension cannot operate
without a server on the local computer. However, it is possible to
start one manually, for example from a /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d.
If the program is started automatically, it uses defaults for all its
configuration; when started manually, it accepts the following options:
-pport / --port=port
Uses the given port (number or service name) for communications,
instead of using the default one from a configuration file.
-lseconds / --linger=seconds
Waits the specified time for a connection, then exit. The default
is 600 (10 minutes). The timeout applies when the program starts
and also when all existing connections are closed. This allows the
program to be started on demand by CLC-INTERCAL programs, and to
automatically exit when no longer required (unless more programs
start up during the timeout).
This function is disabled by setting the timeout to 0 (i.e. -l0);
for example, if starting the server from /etc/init.d or equivalent
one would disable the timeout.
-d / --debug
Tells everything it's doing (on Standard Error). Also, prevents the
program from detaching from the current terminal and going into the
background.
BUGS
IPv6 is not yet implemented.

Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.
Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
Education
Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.
Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
