You open a TCP connection and send commands either in plain ASCII
(CRLF, etc) or binary format. We provide a sample utility that you can
call from perl or any scripting language as a normal shell command, and
you can imbed the source code in your application (removing the main()
routine) if you are developing in C. Or of course you can open the
connection yourself and so forth.
