NAME

       dump_sockdfc -  Display contents of frozen configuratyion file for SOCKS server

SYNOPSIS

       dump_sockdfc [infile]

DESCRIPTION

       dump_sockdfc  reads  in  a  frozen  configuration file for the SOCKS server and produces a listing of its
       contents on the standard output.

       The argument is optional; if omitted, /etc/sockd.fc is assumed.

       The frozen configuration file is produced by make_sockdfc and is essentially  the  memory  image  of  the
       parsed configuration file. Using the frozen configuration file can reduce the start-up delay of the SOCKS
       server program since it no longer has to parse the file contents.

       When the SOCKS server starts, it always looks for the frozen configuration file /etc/sockd.fc  first.  If
       that  file  is  not found, it then tries to use the plain-text configuration file /etc/sockd.conf. If you
       use frozen configuration, you must remember to run make_sockdfc every time after you  modify  the  plain-
       text file or the SOCKS server will continue to use the frozen file of a previous configuration.

FILES

       /etc/sockd.fc, /etc/sockd.conf
