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.
