+Instructs \fBdnsperf\fR to read datafile in TCP-stream binary format
+as specified by RFC 1035 section "4.2.2. TCP usage".
+Each packet is preceded by 2-byte preambule which specifies length of
+the following DNS packet in network byte order, immediatelly followed
+by raw bytes of the packet.
+First two bytes of any packet should contain message ID and are
+overwritten by \fBdnsperf\fR on the fly. All other bytes are left
+intact.
+Packets shorter than two bytes are sent intact.
+Packets in datafile can contain arbitrary bytes and are not checked for
+validity.
+Malformed packets probably will not be responded to by servers and will
+cause timeouts.
+This option is mutually exclusive with \fB-D\fR, \fB-e\fR, \fB-E\fR,
+\fB-u\fR and \fB-y\fR.
+
+These binary datafiles can be generated using arbitrary TCP listeners such
+as \fBnetcat\fR (nc) and \fBsockat\fR.
+TCP must be used so that the length is prepended.
+Following example shows how to generate a datafile with two query and
+then using it, you need two terminals.
