NAME

       make_sockdfr -  Generates frozen route file for SOCKS server

SYNOPSIS

       make_sockdfr [infile [outfile] ]

DESCRIPTION

       make_sockdfr  reads  in  a plain-text route file for the SOCKS server and produces a frozen route file as
       the output.

       Both arguments are optional. The default for infile is  /etc/sockd.route;  the  default  for  outfile  is
       /etc/sockd.fr. You may specify infile while omitting outfile, but you cannot specify outfile without also
       speficying infile.

       The contents of the frozen route file is essentially the memory image of the parsed input file. Using the
       frozen  route  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 route file /etc/sockd.fr first. If that file
       is  not  found,  it then tries to use the plain-text route file /etc/sockd.route. If you use frozen route
       file, you must remember to run make_sockdfr every time after you modify the plain-text file or the  SOCKS
       server will continue to use the frozen version of a previous route file.

       To find out the contents of a frozen route file, use dump_sockdfr.

FILES

       /etc/sockd.fr, /etc/sockd.route
