nyan - a simple netcat wrapper

Hello,
I have worked pretty often with gnu-netcat and I was really fast tired of remembering all this awesome stuff that I can do with it. For example serving a file via web-browser:

{ echo -ne "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nContent-Length: $(wc -c <some.file)\r\n\r\n"; cat some.file; } | nc -l 8080

I mean.. who the f*ck should remember this stuff? So I wrote a simple netcat wrapper for it and called it nyan.
Here are the current features:

It comes with a man-page and nearly zero dependencies. So it's fast deployed somewhere else, even on systems without arch linux.

You can find it in the AUR:
