(With apologies to the judge in 2013 ONCJ 160) 7 8 In this document, we attempt to comprehend the 'tcpto' system as it exists in qmail+Nightmare, and as it is used in the following source files: ```qmail-remote.c, qmail-rspawn.c, tcpto.c, tcpto_clean.c```. 9 10 First, let's figure out what this is with tcpto_clean. This source file appears entirely fragmentary. It is mentioned twice in Makefile.legacy - once in its own right, and once as a part of qmail-rspawn. It would appear that that's the only functionality needed by qmail-rspawn as it relates to tcpto. 11 12 Now we may move to tcpto itself. `tcpto.o` is mentioned in connection with qmail-remote, qmail-tcpto, and itself.
