+There is no

+option in this netcat, but you still can execute a command after connection
+being established by redirecting file descriptors. Be cautious here because
+opening a port and let anyone connected execute arbitrary command on your
+site is DANGEROUS. If you really need to do this, here is an example:
+.Pp
+On

+.Pp
+.Dl $ rm -f /tmp/f; mkfifo /tmp/f
+.Dl $ cat /tmp/f | /bin/sh -i 2>&1 | nc -l 127.0.0.1 1234 > /tmp/f
+.Pp
+On
+.Sq client
+side:
+.Pp
+.Dl $ nc host.example.com 1234
+.Dl $ (shell prompt from host.example.com)
+.Pp
+By doing this, you create a fifo at /tmp/f and make nc listen at port 1234
+of address 127.0.0.1 on
+.Sq server
+side, when a
+.Sq client
+establishes a connection successfully to that port, /bin/sh gets executed
+on
+.Sq server
+side and the shell prompt is given to
+.Sq client
+side.
+.Pp
+When connection is terminated,

+quits as well. Use
+.Fl k
+if you want it keep listening, but if the command quits this option won't
+restart it or keep
+.Nm
+running. Also don't forget to remove the file descriptor once you don't need
+it anymore:
+.Pp
+.Dl $ rm -f /tmp/f
