+cat << EOF
+Netcat is a featured networking utility which reads and writes data across
+network connections, using the TCP/IP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable
+"back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs
+and scripts. At the same time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and
+exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would
+need and has several interesting built-in capabilities.
+
+It provides access to the following main features:
+
+ * Outbound and inbound connections, TCP or UDP, to or from any ports.
+ * Featured tunneling mode which allows also special tunneling such as UDP to
+   TCP, with the possibility of specifying all network parameters (source
+   port/interface, listening port/interface, and the remote host allowed to
+   connect to the tunnel.
+ * Built-in port-scanning capabilities, with randomizer.
+ * Advanced usage options, such as buffered send-mode (one line every N
+   seconds), and hexdump (to stderr or to a specified file) of trasmitted and
+   received data.
+ * Optional RFC854 telnet codes parser and responder.
