-connect address
|
Configures the address to which swamp should connect for outgoing connections,
using the syntax defined by the libnal API. For connecting to TCP/IP addresses,
the syntax is illustrated below (you may use an explicit IP address or a host name);
# swamp -connect IP:192.168.0.1:443
# swamp -connect IP:www.localnet:443
|
To connect to an SSL/TLS server on a unix domain socket, the syntax is;
# swamp -connect UNIX:/path/to/some/socket
|
|
|
-h, -help, -?
|
Any of these flags will cause swamp to display a brief usage summary to
the console and exit cleanly. Any other flags are ignored.

AUTHOR
Swamp was designed and implemented by Geoff Thorpe. Steve Robb has contributed
numerous tweaks and fixes along the way too. To consolidate resources and
provide an improved framework for ongoing development, the swamp utility was
made a component of the distcache project in 2003 (swamp happens to be the
ideal tool for testing distcache’s most common usage - secure web servers).
