.TH VALIDATECONF 1 "" "VALIDATECONF"

.SH NAME
.BR validateconf
\- This utility can be used to validate the tsocks.conf configuration file.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B validateconf
[-f config file] [-t  hostnameip[:port\]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B 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.
