NAME¶
socks.fc - Frozen configuration file for SOCKS clients
SYNOPSIS¶
/etc/socks.fc
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
To find out the contents of a frozen configuration file, use
dump_socksfc.
