Perhaps it's the actual command was host1#> rsh host2 sort < datafile where rsh copies datafile to the connection , and copies form the connection to standard output. when EOF is reached on the input (datafile) host1 performs a half close on the TCP connection. the host2 sorts the file and writes it to the TCP connection. host1 reads its end of the TCP connection, copying the file to standard otuput (terminal).
