This manpage describes the syntax and contents of the +configuration file. + +The Tinyproxy configuration file contains key-value pairs, one per +line. Lines starting with `#` and empty lines are comments and are +ignored. Keywords are case-insensitive, whereas values are +case-sensitive. Values may be enclosed in double-quotes (") if they +contain spaces. + +The possible keywords and their descriptions are as follows: + +*User*:: + + The user which the Tinyproxy process should run as, after the + initial port-binding has been done as the root user. + +*Group*:: + + The group which the Tinyproxy process should run as, after the + initial port-binding has been done as the root user. + +*Port*:: + + The port which the Tinyproxy service will listen on. If the port is + less than 1024, you will need to start the Tinyproxy process as the + root user. BUGS -- cgit v1.2.3
