NAME¶
dump_sockdfc - Display contents of frozen configuratyion file for SOCKS server
SYNOPSIS¶
dump_sockdfc [infile]
DESCRIPTION¶
dump_sockdfc reads in a frozen configuration file for the SOCKS server and
produces a listing of its contents on the standard output.
The argument is optional; if omitted,
/etc/sockd.fc is assumed.
The frozen configuration file is produced by
make_sockdfc 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 server
program since it no longer has to parse the file contents.
When the SOCKS server starts, it always looks for the frozen configuration file
/etc/sockd.fc first. If that file is not found, it then tries to use
the plain-text configuration file
/etc/sockd.conf. If you use frozen
configuration, you must remember to run
make_sockdfc every time after
you modify the plain-text file or the SOCKS server will continue to use the
frozen file of a previous configuration.
FILES¶
/etc/sockd.fc,
/etc/sockd.conf
