NAME
       validateconf - This utility can be used to validate the tsocks.conf configuration file.


SYNOPSIS
       validateconf [-f config file] [-t  hostnameip[:port]]


DESCRIPTION
       validateconf  can be used to verify the  configuration  file.  It checks  the format of the file and also
       the contents for errors.  Having read the file it dumps the configuration to the screen in a   formatted,
       readable  manner. This can be extremely useful in debugging problems.

       validateconf  can  read  a  configuration  file  from a location other than  the  location  specified  at
       compile  time  with  the  -f <filename> command line option.

       Normally validateconf simply dumps the configuration  read  to  the  screen   (in   a   nicely   readable
       format), however it also has a useful 'test' mode. When passed a  hostname/ip  on  the  command line like
       -t <hostname/ip>, validateconf determines which of the SOCKS servers specified in the configuration  file
       would be  used by tsocks to access the specified host.
