NAME
       tsocks  - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the tsocks(8) library to
       transparently allow an application to use a SOCKS proxy

SYNOPSIS
       tsocks [application [application's arguments]]
       or tsocks [on|off]
       or tsocks

DESCRIPTION
       tsocks is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application what
       you would like to run socksified.

OPTIONS
       [application [application's arguments]]
	      run the application as specified with the	 environment  (LD_PRE-
	      LOAD)  set  such	that  tsocks(8)	will transparently proxy SOCKS
	      connections in that program

       [on|off]
	      this option adds or removes tsocks(8) from the LD_PRELOAD	 envi-
	      ronment  variable.  When	tsocks(8) is in	this variable all exe-
	      cuted applications are automatically socksified. If you want  to
	      use  this	 function,  you	 HAVE  to source the shell script from
	      yours, like this:	"source	/usr/local/bin/tsocks" or ".  /usr/lo-
	      cal/bin/tsocks"
	      Example:
	      ". tsocks	on" -- add the tsocks lib to LD_PRELOAD
	      ". tsocks	off" --	remove the tsocks lib from LD_PRELOAD

       [show|sh]
	      show the current value of	the LD_PRELOAD variable

       <without	any argument>
	      create a new shell with LD_PRELOAD including tsocks(8).

AUTHOR
       This  script was	created	by Tamas SZERB <toma@rulez.org>	for the	debian
       package of tsocks. It (along with this manual  page)  have  since  been
       adapted into the	main tsocks project and	modified.
