-<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
-
-<P>
-<B>privoxy</B> [<B>--help</B> ] [<B>--version</B> ] [<B>--no-daemon</B> ] [<B>--pidfile </B><I>pidfile</I><B></B> ] [<B>--user </B><I>user[.group]</I><B></B> ] [<B>--chroot</B> ] [<B></B><I>configfile</I><B></B> ]
-<P>
-<A NAME="lbAD"> </A>
-<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-<B>Privoxy</B> may be invoked with the following command line
-options:
-<DL COMPACT>
-<DT><B>--help</B><DD>
-Print brief usage info and exit.
-<DT><B>--version</B><DD>
-Print version info and exit.
-<DT><B>--no-daemon</B><DD>
-Don't become a daemon, i.e. don't fork and become process group
-leader, don't detach from controlling tty, and do all logging there.
-<DT><B>--pidfile </B><I>pidfile</I><B></B><DD>
-On startup, write the process ID to <I>pidfile</I>.
-Delete the <I>pidfile</I> on exit.
-Failure to create or delete the <I>pidfile</I>
-is non-fatal. If no <B>--pidfile</B> option is given, no PID file will be used.
-<DT><B>--user </B><I>user[.group]</I><B></B><DD>
-After (optionally) writing the PID file, assume the user ID of
-<I>user</I> and the GID of
-<I>group</I>, or, if the optional
-<I>group</I> was not given, the default group of
-<I>user</I>. Exit if the privileges are not
-sufficient to do so.
-<DT><B>--chroot</B><DD>
-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
-<B>Privoxy</B> process that the directory tree starts
-there. If set up carefully, this can limit the impact of possible
-vulnerabilities in <B>Privoxy</B> to the files contained in
-that hierarchy.
-</DL>
-<P>
-
-If the <I>configfile</I> is not specified on the command line,
-<B>Privoxy</B> will look for a file named
-<I>config</I> in the current directory . If no
-<I>configfile</I> is found, <B>Privoxy</B> will
-fail to start.
-<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-Privoxy is a
-web proxy
-with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting
-privacy, modifying web page data, managing
-cookies,
-controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious
-Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be
-customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for
-both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
-<P>
-
-Privoxy is based on Internet Junkbuster (tm).
-<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
-<H2>INSTALLATION AND USAGE</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-Browsers must be individually configured to use <B>Privoxy</B> as
-a HTTP proxy. The default setting is for localhost, on port 8118
-(configurable in the main config file). To set the HTTP proxy in Netscape
-and Mozilla, go through: <B>Edit</B>;
-<B>Preferences</B>; <B>Advanced</B>;
-<B>Proxies</B>; <B>Manual Proxy Configuration</B>;
-<B>View</B>.
-<P>
-
-For Firefox, go through: <B>Tools</B>;
-<B>Options</B>; <B>General</B>;
-<B>Connection Settings</B>;
-<B>Manual Proxy Configuration</B>.
-<P>
-
-For Internet Explorer, go through: <B>Tools</B>;
-<B>Internet Properties</B>; <B>Connections</B>;
-<B>LAN Settings</B>.
-<P>
-
-The Secure (SSL) Proxy should also be set to the same values, otherwise
-https: URLs will not be proxied. Note: <B>Privoxy</B> can only
-proxy HTTP and HTTPS traffic. Do not try it with FTP or other protocols.
-HTTPS presents some limitations, and not all features will work with HTTPS
-connections.
-<P>
-
-For other browsers, check the documentation.
-<A NAME="lbAG"> </A>
-<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-<B>Privoxy</B> can be configured with the various configuration
-files. The default configuration files are: <I>config</I>,
-<I>default.filter</I>, and
-<I>default.action</I>. <I>user.action</I> should
-be used for locally defined exceptions to the default rules of
-<I>default.action</I>, and <I>user.filter</I> for
-locally defined filters. These are well commented. On Unix
-and Unix-like systems, these are located in
-<I>/etc/privoxy/</I> by default.
-<P>
-
-<B>Privoxy</B> uses the concept of <B>actions</B>
-in order to manipulate the data stream between the browser and remote sites.
-There are various actions available with specific functions for such things
-as blocking web sites, managing cookies, etc. These actions can be invoked
-individually or combined, and used against individual URLs, or groups of URLs
-that can be defined using wildcards and regular expressions. The result is
-that the user has greatly enhanced control and freedom.
-<P>
-
-The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your
-web browser at <A HREF="http://config.privoxy.org/">http://config.privoxy.org/.</A>
-<B>Privoxy's</B> configuration parameters can also be viewed at
-the same page. In addition, <B>Privoxy</B> can be toggled on/off.
-This is an internal page, and does not require Internet access.
-<P>
-
-See the <I>User Manual</I> for a detailed
-explanation of installation, general usage, all configuration options, new
-features and notes on upgrading.

-<H2>SAMPLE CONFIGURATION</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-A brief example of what a simple <I>default.action</I>
-configuration might look like:

- { +redirect{<A HREF="http://localhost/css-replacements/example.com.css}">http://localhost/css-replacements/example.com.css}</A> }
- example.com/stylesheet.css
-</PRE>
-
-<P>
-
-See the comments in the configuration files themselves, or the
-<I>User Manual</I>
-for full explanations of the above syntax, and other <B>Privoxy</B>
-configuration options.

-<H2>SIGNALS</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-<B>Privoxy</B> terminates on the <B>SIGINT</B>,
-<B>SIGTERM</B> and <B>SIGABRT</B> signals. Log
-rotation scripts may cause a re-opening of the logfile by sending a
-<B>SIGHUP</B> to <B>Privoxy</B>. Note that unlike
-other daemons, <B>Privoxy</B> does not need to be made aware of
-config file changes by <B>SIGHUP</B> -- it will detect them
-automatically.
