# Shell script to build a many-to-one, one-to-all communication
# It starts two Socat instances that communicate via IPv4 broadcast,
# the first of which forks a child process for each connected client.

# Example:

# Consider a serial device connected to the Internet on TCP port 1234, it
# accepts only one connection at a time.
# On a proxy/relay server run this script:
#   socat-mux.sh \
#       TCP-L:1234,reuseaddr,fork \
#       TCP:<addr-of-device>:1234
# Now connect with an arbitrary number of clients to TCP:<proxy>:1234;
# data sent by the device goes to all clients, data from any client is sent to
# the device.
