- <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--help</i></span>

- <p>
- Print short usage info and exit. Unix only.

- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">--no-daemon</i></span>
- </p>
- <p>
- Don't become a daemon, i.e. don't fork and become process group

- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--pidfile
- FILE</i></span>
- </p>
- <p>
- On startup, write the process ID to <span class="emphasis"><i
- class="EMPHASIS">FILE</i></span>. Delete the <span class=
- "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">FILE</i></span> on exit. Failure
- to create or delete the <span class="emphasis"><i class=

- "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">FILE</i></span> option is given,
- no PID file will be used. Unix only.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--user
- USER[.GROUP]</i></span>
- </p>
- <p>
- After (optionally) writing the PID file, assume the user ID of
- <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">USER</i></span>, and
- if included the GID of GROUP. Exit if the privileges are not
- sufficient to do so. Unix only.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--chroot</i></span>
- </p>
- <p>
- Before changing to the user ID given in the <span class=
- "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--user</i></span> option, chroot
- to that user's home directory, i.e. make the kernel pretend to
- the <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> process that the
- directory tree starts there. If set up carefully, this can
- limit the impact of possible vulnerabilities in <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> to the files contained in that
- hierarchy. Unix only.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">--pre-chroot-nslookup hostname</i></span>
- </p>
- <p>
- Specifies a hostname to look up before doing a chroot. On some
- systems, initializing the resolver library involves reading
- config files from /etc and/or loading additional shared
- libraries from /lib. On these systems, doing a hostname lookup
- before the chroot reduces the number of files that must be
- copied into the chroot tree.
- </p>
- <p>
- For fastest startup speed, a good value is a hostname that is
- not in /etc/hosts but that your local name server (listed in
- /etc/resolv.conf) can resolve without recursion (that is,
- without having to ask any other name servers). The hostname
- need not exist, but if it doesn't, an error message (which can
- be ignored) will be output.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- <span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">configfile</i></span>
- </p>
- <p>
- If no <span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">configfile</i></span> is included on the command
- line, <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> will look for a
- file named <span class="QUOTE">"config"</span> in the current
- directory (except on Win32 where it will look for <span class=
- "QUOTE">"config.txt"</span> instead). Specify full path to
- avoid confusion. If no config file is found, <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> will fail to start.
- </p>
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- On <span class="APPLICATION">MS Windows</span> only there are two
- additional command-line options to allow <span class=
