Included nc command does not support -u Please Update

[whitedavidp]

Hello and thanks for this fine app and for LinuxDeploy. I use this version of BusyBox because it seems necessary for LinuxDeploy and it seems to work quite well. But I recently had a need to do something like this:

/bin/echo -e -n LSD_WIFI:AT+Z\x0d | nc -u -p 8800 -w 2 192.168.1.x 8800

And it fails here saying unknown option -u.

I have Stericson 1.31.1 on my phone it and has this ability. I just updated to the very newest version of yours (1.34.1) and expected that was needed to get this. Sadly, it seems that more in needed. Is this possible to do/get?

Thanks

This is the help menu for me, does it help:

1|android:/ $ nc --help
nc --help
usage: netcat [-46Ut] [-lL COMMAND...] [-u] [-wpq #] [-s addr] {IPADDR PORTNUM|-f FILENAME}

Forward stdin/stdout to a file or network connection.

-4      Force IPv4
-6      Force IPv6
-L      Listen for multiple incoming connections (server mode)
-U      Use a UNIX domain socket
-W      SECONDS timeout for more data on an idle connection
-f      Use FILENAME (ala /dev/ttyS0) instead of network
-l      Listen for one incoming connection
-p      Local port number
-q      Quit SECONDS after EOF on stdin, even if stdout hasn't closed yet
-s      Local source address
-t      Allocate tty (must come before -l or -L)
-u      Use UDP
-w      SECONDS timeout to establish connection

Use "stty 115200 -F /dev/ttyS0 && stty raw -echo -ctlecho" with
netcat -f to connect to a serial port.

The command line after -l or -L is executed (as a child process) to handle
each incoming connection. If blank -l waits for a connection and forwards
it to stdin/stdout. If no -p specified, -l prints port it bound to and
backgrounds itself (returning immediately).

For a quick-and-dirty server, try something like:
netcat -s 127.0.0.1 -p 1234 -tL /bin/bash -l

Thanks. But my issue is that the -u option does not seem to work - even though it is documented. I ended up installing an additional busybox where it does work and I reference that one specifically.

Could I test if the -u works for me in some easy way?

Thanks but I am set now...
