.TH DUMP_SOCKSFC 8 "May 6, 1996"
.SH NAME
dump_socksfc \- Display contents of frozen configuratyion file for SOCKS clients
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBdump_socksfc [\fIinfile\fR]\fP
.SH 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, \fB/etc/socks.fc\fP is assumed.
The frozen configuration file is produced by \fImake_socksfc\fR 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 \fB/etc/socks.fc\fP first . If that file
is not found, it then tries to use the plain-text configuration file
\fB/etc/socks.conf\fP. If you use frozen configuration,
you must remember to run \fImake_socksfc\fR every time after you
modify the plain-text file or the SOCKS clients will continue to use
the frozen file of a previous configuration.
.SH FILES
\fB/etc/socks.fc\fP, \fB/etc/socks.conf\fP
.SH SEE ALSO
\fImake_socksfc\fR(8),
\fIsocks.conf\fR(5), \fIsocks.fc\fR(5)
