 //! Hello world server.
 //!
-//! A simple server that accepts connections, writes "hello world\n", and closes
+//! A simple client that opens a TCP stream, writes "hello world\n", and closes
 //! the connection.
 //!
 //! You can test this out by running:
 //!
-//!     cargo run --example hello_world
+//!     ncat -l 6142
 //!
 //! And then in another terminal run:
 //!
-//!     telnet localhost 6142
-//!
