DESCRIPTION
     Redir  redirects  tcp  connections  coming  in to a local port to a
     specified address/port combination.

     It may be run either from inetd or as a standalone  daemon.   Depending  on
     how redir was compiled, not all options may be available.

OPTIONS
     --lport
	    Specifies  port  to listen for connections on (when not running from
	    inetd)

     --laddr
	    IP address to bind to when listening for connections (when not  run-
	    ning from inetd)

     --cport
	    Specifies port to connect to.

     --caddr
	    Specifies remote host to connect to. (localhost if omitted)

     --inetd
	    Run  as  a process started from inetd, with the connection passed as
	    stdin and stdout on startup.

     --debug
	    Write debug output to stderr or syslog.

     --name
	    Specify program name to be used for TCP wrapper  checks  and  syslog
	    logging.

     --timeout
	    Timeout and close the connection after n seconds on inactivity.

     --syslog
	    Log information to syslog.

     --bind_addr
	    Forces redir to pick a specific address/interface to bind to when it
	    listens for incoming connections.

     --ftp  When  using  redir	for an FTP server, this will cause redir to also
	    redirect ftp  connections.	 Type  should  be  specified  as  either
	    "port", "pasv", or "both", to specify what type of FTP connection to
	    handle.  Note that --transproxy often makes one or the other (gener-
	    ally port) undesirable.

     --transproxy
	    On a linux system with transparany proxying enables, causes redir to
	    make  connections appear as if they had come from their true origin.
	    (see transproxy.txt in the source archive)

     --connect
	    Redirects connections through an HTTP proxy which supports the  CON-
	    NECT  command.   Specify  the  address  and  port of the proxy using
	    --caddr and --cport.  --connect requires the hostname and port which
	    the HTTP proxy will be asked to connect to.

     --bufsize n
	    Set the bufsize (defaut 4096) in bytes. Can be  used  combined  with
	    --maxbandwidth or --random_wait to simulate a slow connection.

     --maxbandwidth n
	    Reduce  the bandwidth to be no more than n bits/sec.  The algorithme
	    is basic, the goal is to simulate a slow connection, so there is  no
	    pic acceptance.

     --random_wait n
	    Wait  between  0  and  2  x  n  milliseconds before each "packet". A
	    "packet" is a bloc of data read in one time  by  redir.  A	"packet"
	    size is always less than the bufsize (see also --bufsize).

     --wait_in_out n
	    Apply  --maxbandwidth  and --random_wait for input if n=1, output if
	    n=2 and both if n=3.
