They are primarily "test" services:
Chargen: Generates a continuous stream of characters:
$ hose localhost chargen -slave | head -c 500
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefg
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefgh
"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghi
#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghij
$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijk
%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijkl
&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]Broken pipe
Daytime: Outputs the current date and time as text:
$ hose localhost daytime -slave
Tue Jan 29 15:54:51 2002
Echo: Copies its input to its output.
$ echo hello world | hose localhost echo -slave
hello world
Time: The number of seconds since midnight, January 1, 1900, in binary
(4 bytes, big-endian):
$ hose localhost time -slave | od -t x1
0000000 c0 01 44 a6
0000004
