If no group is specified (*-g*) the default group of + the user is used. The default is to not drop privileges. + +*-g, --groupname *:: + run as this group. If no username is specified (*-u*) this gets ignored. + The default is to not drop privileges. + +*-C, --chroot *:: + Instruct *tcpproxy* to run in a chroot jail. The default is + to not run in chroot. + +*-P, --write-pid *:: + Instruct *tcpproxy* to write it's pid to this file. The default is + to not create a pid file. + +*-L, --log :[,[,[..]]]*:: + 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 [,[,]] + *file*;; log to file, parameters [,] + *stdout*;; log to standard output, parameters + *stderr*;; log to standard error, parameters + +*-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. + + + +EXAMPLES +-------- + +nothing yet.. + + +BUGS +---- +Most likely there are some bugs in *tcpproxy*. If you find a bug, please let +the developers know at tcpproxy@spreadspace.org. Of course, patches are preferred. + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +nothing yet.. + + +AUTHORS +------- + +Christian Pointner + + +RESOURCES +--------- + +Main web site: http://www.spreadspace.org/tcpproxy/ + + +COPYING +------- + +Copyright \(C) 2010 Christian Pointner.
