SYNTAX
tinyproxy [ -vldch ]
VERSION
This man page documents the usage of the tinyproxy command.
DESCRIPTION
tinyproxy is a lightweight HTTP proxy server designed to consume a
minimum amount of system resources. It listens on a given TCP port and
handles HTTP proxy requests.
OPTIONS
-c <config_file>
Use an alternate configuration file.
-d Don't daemonize; stay in the foreground. Useful for debugging
purposes.
-h Display a short help screen of command line arguments and exit.

SIGNALS
In addition to these command line options, there are also several
signals that can be sent to tinyproxy while it is running to generate
debugging information and to force certain events.

connections linked list. This is usually done automatically
after a certain number of connections have been handled.
