VALIDATECONF(1)                                       General Commands Manual                                       VALIDATECONF(1)

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  ex‐
       tremely 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.
