.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB--pidfile \fIpidfile\fB\fR
On startup, write the process ID to \fIpidfile\fR.
Delete the \fIpidfile\fR on exit.
-Failiure to create or delete the \fIpidfile\fR
+Failure to create or delete the \fIpidfile\fR
is non-fatal. If no \fB--pidfile\fR option is given, no PID file will be used.
.TP
\fB--user \fIuser[.group]\fB\fR
\fIgroup\fR was not given, the default group of
\fIuser\fR. Exit if the privileges are not
sufficient to do so.
+.TP
+\fB--chroot\fR
+Before changing to the user ID given in the --user option, chroot to
+that user's home directory, i.e. make the kernel pretend to the
+\fBPrivoxy\fR process that the directory tree starts
+there. If set up carefully, this can limit the impact of possible
+vulnerabilities in \fBPrivoxy\fR to the files contained in
+that hierarchy.
.PP
If the \fIconfigfile\fR is not specified on the command line,
\fBPrivoxy\fR will look for a file named
\fBLAN Settings\fR.
.PP
The Secure (SSL) Proxy should also be set to the same values, otherwise
-https: URLs will not be proxied. Note: \fBPrivoxy\fR can only proxy HTTP
-and HTTPS traffic. Do not try it with FTP or other protocols.
