An example read/write client

The following code represents the connection-mode read/write client program described in ``A read/write interface''. This client establishes a transport connection with a server and then uses cat(1) to retrieve the data sent by the server and write it to its standard output. This client will communicate with the connection-mode servers presented in ``An example connection-mode server''.
