Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] tools/netconsole: make a bit more robust and use ncb when possible

Dear Mike Frysinger,

In message 200901161407.57150.vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:

have this "feature" and it supports broadcast udp, default to using that rather than netcat.

When would "ncb" not be available?

What else are the implications when using ncb versus netcat?

Why does your script tools/netconsole so far use netcat only, when we have the (as I read it) much better ncb anyway?

people have to manually build ncb, plus ncb is a listen-only daemon. you still need nc to do the transmission.

You did not answer my other questions:

- When would "ncb" not be available?

- What else are the implications when using ncb versus netcat?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
