Dear Maintainer,

socat READLINE exec:/bin/ash
2012/06/13 08:47:42 socat[24208] E unknown device/address "READLINE"


but according to the man page:

READLINE
Uses GNU readline and history on stdio to allow editing and
reusing input lines (example). This requires the GNU readline and history
libraries. Note that stdio should be a (pseudo) terminal device, otherwise
readline does not seem to work.
