NAME

       dump_socksfc -  Display contents of frozen configuratyion file for SOCKS clients

SYNOPSIS

       dump_socksfc [infile]

DESCRIPTION

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

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

       The frozen configuration file is produced by make_socksfc 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
       client programs since they no longer have to parse the file contents.

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

FILES

       /etc/socks.fc, /etc/socks.conf
