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_PRELOAD)
	    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	environ-
	    ment  variable.  When tsocks(8) is in this variable all executed ap-
	    plications 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/local/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.
