tcpws -p port -w wsaddress [-n name] [--usestrings]

• port is the local TCP port number
• wsaddress is the address of the remove WebSocket connection
• name (optional) the WebSocket sub-protocol name
• usestrings (optional) send data as strings instead of bytes, as some WebSockect servers treat strings different
