[Buildroot] netcat package?

[Woody Wu]

Hi,

Is there a netcat package in buildroot?  I did not find it on the menu,
but just think buildroot should already have this famous tool.

You should find the netcat package under "Networking applications". Make sure 
to select "Show packages that are also provided by busybox", otherwise the 
netcat package is not shown in the menu.

General tip: in menuconfig systems, you can search for a string by
typing the / character.
In the result overview, you see the found symbols, and also the
location in the menu structure. If there are any dependencies or
automatic selections, these are shown in boolean syntax as well. This
is precisely the information needed to deduce what Baruch wrote above.

Thanks baruchy.  When enabled 'Show packages provided by busybox' and
selected the 'nc', what 'nc' program will I finally get? I mean, the
busybox one or standalone one?

That depends on whether you have netcat enabled in your busybox build (just 
run 'busybox' to see what applets you have enabled), and whether your 
/usr/bin/nc points to busybox, or is a real executable.

Use the busybox-menu command to configure busybox and use it's "nc" applet.
Use the extended commands and you are god to go.

(otherwise you don't have "nc -l" which I usually miss)
