It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time, it is a feature rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built in capabilities.

this package already exists in fedora ? please check if is the same. yum search netcat nc.i386 : Reads and writes data across network connections using TCP or UDP nc6.i386 : Netcat with IPv6 Support socat.i386 : Bidirectional data relay between two data channels ('netcat++')
I guess it's the same tool.
