SYNOPSIS
nghook |

path [hookname] |
DESCRIPTION
nghook creates a
ng_socket(4) socket type node and connects it to hook
hookname of the node found at
path. If hookname is omitted,
“debug” is assumed.
At this point all data written to standard input is sent to the node and all data received from the node is relayed to standard output.
The options are as follows:
-a- Output each read packet in ASCII.
-d- Increase the debugging verbosity level.

BUGS
Although all input is read in unbuffered mode, there's no way to control the packetization of the input.
