XFINDPROXY(1)XFINDPROXY(1)NAMExfindproxy - locate proxy services
SYNOPSISxfindproxy-manager managerAddr -name serviceName -server
serverAddr [-auth] [-host hostAddr] [-options opts]
DESCRIPTIONxfindproxy is a program used to locate available proxy
services. It utilizes the Proxy Management Protocol to
communicate with a proxy manager. The proxy manager keeps
track of all available proxy services, starts new proxies
when necessary, and makes sure that proxies are shared
whenever possible.
The -manager argument is required, and it specifies the
network address of the proxy manager. The format of the
address is a standard ICE network id (for example,
"tcp/blah.x.org:6500").
The -name argument is required, and it specifies the name
of the desired proxy service (for example, "LBX"). The
name is case insensitive.
The -server argument is also required, and it specifies
the address of the target server. The format of the
address is specific to the proxy service specified with
the -name argument. For example, for a proxy service of
"LBX", the address would be an X display address (e.g,
"blah.x.org:0").
The -auth argument is optional. If specified, xfindproxy
will read 2 lines from standard input. The first line is
an authorization/authentication name. The second line is
the authorization/authentication data in hex format (the
same format used by xauth). xfindproxy will pass this
auth data to the proxy, and in most cases, will be used by
the proxy to authorize/authenticate itself to the target
server.
The -host argument is optional. If xfindproxy starts a
new proxy service, it will pass the host specified. The
proxy may choose to restrict all connections to this host.
In the event that xfindproxy locates an already existing
proxy, the host will be passed, but the semantics of how
the proxy uses this host are undefined.
The -options argument is optional. If xfindproxy starts a
new proxy service, it will pass any options specified.
The semantics of the options are specific to each proxy
server and are not defined here. In the event that xfind-
proxy locates an already existing proxy, the options will
be passed, but the semantics of how the proxy uses these
options are undefined.
X Version 11 Release 6.4 1
XFINDPROXY(1)XFINDPROXY(1)
If xfindproxy is successful in obtaining a proxy address,
it will print it to stdout. The format of the proxy
address is specific to the proxy service being used. For
example, for a proxy service of "LBX", the proxy address
would be the X display address of the proxy (e.g,
"blah.x.org:63").
If xfindproxy is unsuccessful in obtaining a proxy
address, it will print an error to stderr.
