NAME
     e2guardian2 - web content filter

SYNOPSIS
     e2guardian  [  -c config-file ] [ -v ] [ -h ] [ -N ] [ -q ] [ -Q ] [ -s ] [
     -r ] [ -g ]

SUMMARY
     e2guardian is a web content filtering proxy(1) for Linux, NetBSD,	FreeBSD,
     OpenBSD, and Solaris that uses Squid(2) to do all the fetching.

     It  filters  using  multiple  methods. These methods include URL and domain
     filtering, content phrase filtering, PICS filtering, MIME	type  filtering,
     file extension filtering, POST limiting and content (AV) scanning.

     The  content phrase filtering will check for pages that contain profanities
     and phrases often associated with pornography and	other  undesirable  con-
     tent.   The  POST	filtering allows you to block or limit web uploads.  The
     URL and domain filtering is able to handle huge lists and is  significantly
     faster than squidGuard.

     Content  scanning	enables  downloaded  content to be passed through ClamD,
     KAVD, any local program with  machine-parseable  console  output,	and  any
     other AV scanner available as an ICAP server.

     The  filtering has configurable domain, user and source IP exception lists.
     SSL tunneling is supported; however, due to the encrypted nature  of  HTTPS
     requests,	filtering  is  only  supported on destination domain or with SSL
     MITM configuration.  The configurable logging produces a log in an easy  to
     read  format  which  has  the option to only log the text-based pages, thus
     significantly reducing redundant information such as every image on a page.

     e2guardian is under continuous development and so it is best to  visit  the
     web site for the latest information.

      (1) Technically e2guardian is more of a filtering pass-through than a true
     proxy - but don't let that worry you!

      (2) e2guardian should work with any proxy, not just Squid. For example, it
     is known to work with Oops.

OPTIONS
     -c config-file
	    Use the given config-file.

     -v     gives the version number and build options.

     -h     Output a short summary of available command line options.

     -N     Do not go into the background.

     -q     causes e2guardian to kill any running copy.

     -Q     kill any running copy AND start a new one with current options.

     -s     shows the parent process PID and exits.

     -r     closes  all  connections  and reloads config files by issuing a HUP,
	    but this does not reset the maxchildren option (amongst others).

     -g     gently restarts by not closing all current connections; only reloads
	    filter group config files. (Issues a USR1)
