DUMP_SOCKSFC(8)DUMP_SOCKSFC(8)NAMEdump_socksfc - Display contents of frozen configuratyion file for
SOCKS clients
SYNOPSISdump_socksfc [infile]
DESCRIPTIONdump_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, /etc/socks.fc is assumed.
The frozen configuration file is produced by make_socksfc and is essen‐
tially 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 configura‐
tion 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.
