+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+*tcpproxy* is a simple tcp connection proxy which combines the
+features of rinetd and 6tunnel. *tcpproxy* supports IPv4 and
+IPv6 and also supports connections from IPv6 to IPv4 endpoints
+and vice versa.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+The following options can be passed to the *tcpproxy* daemon:
+
+*-D, --nodaemonize*::
+ This option instructs *tcpproxy* to run in foreground
+ instead of becoming a daemon which is the default.
+
+*-u, --username <username>*::
+ run as this user. If no group is specified (*-g*) the default group of
+ the user is used. The default is to not drop privileges.
+
+*-g, --groupname <groupname>*::
+ run as this group. If no username is specified (*-u*) this gets ignored.
+ The default is to not drop privileges.
+
+*-C, --chroot <path>*::
+ Instruct *tcpproxy* to run in a chroot jail. The default is
+ to not run in chroot.
+
+*-P, --write-pid <filename>*::
+ Instruct *tcpproxy* to write it's pid to this file. The default is
+ to not create a pid file.
+
+*-L, --log <target>:<level>[,<param1>[,<param2>[..]]]*::
+ add log target to logging system. This can be invoked several times
+ in order to log to different targets at the same time. Every target
+ hast its own log level which is a number between 0 and 5. Where 0 means
+ disabling log and 5 means debug messages are enabled. +
+ The file target can be used more the once with different levels.
+ If no target is provided at the command line a single target with the
+ config *syslog:3,tcpproxy,daemon* is added. +
+ The following targets are supported:
+
+ *syslog*;; log to syslog daemon, parameters <level>[,<logname>[,<facility>]]
+ *file*;; log to file, parameters <level>[,<path>]
+ *stdout*;; log to standard output, parameters <level>
+ *stderr*;; log to standard error, parameters <level>
+
+*-U, --debug*::
+ This option instructs *tcpproxy* to run in debug mode. It implicits *-D*
+ (don't daemonize) and adds a log target with the configuration
+ *stdout:5* (logging with maximum level). In future releases there might
+ be additional output when this option is supplied.
