syntax

echo hl7utf8message | mllpsend ip:port [encoding]

returns 0 when succes payload was received

encodings

• NSASCIIStringEncoding = 1
• NSUTF8StringEncoding = 4
• NSISOLatin1StringEncoding = 5 (default, if value is omitted)

It is assumed that the terminal uses string encoding utf-8 and that the message piped is in utf-8. The message is then encoded in the destination string encoding before being streamed.
