Bug ID: 294334
Summary: nc(1) doesn't print any error message when connection
is refused
Product: Base System
Version: 15.0-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: yuri@freebsd.org
Example:
> $ telnet ollama.org 12499
> Trying 176.123.6.177...
> telnet: connect to address 176.123.6.177: Connection refused
> telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

> 1
> $
telnet prints the correct error message, but nc doesn't. nc just fails with
exit_code=1.
