tsocks - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the tsocks(8) library to transparently allow an application

       This  script was created by Tamas SZERB <toma@rulez.org> for the debian package of tsocks. It (along with
       this manual page) have since been adapted into the main tsocks project and modified.

tsocks is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application what you would like to run socksified.

tsocks - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the tsocks(8) library to transparently allow an application
       to use a SOCKS proxy

[application[application'sarguments]]
              run  the  application  as specified with the environment (LD_PRELOAD) set such that tsocks(8) will
              transparently proxy SOCKS connections in that program

       [-on|-off]
              this option adds or removes tsocks(8) from the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. When tsocks(8)  is
              in  this  variable all executed applications are automatically socksified. If you want to use this
              function, you HAVE to source the shell script from yours, like this: "source  /usr/bin/tsocks"  or
              ". /usr/bin/tsocks"
              Example:
              ". tsocks -on" -- add the tsocks lib to LD_PRELOAD (don't forget the leading dot!)
              ". tsocks -off" -- remove the tsocks lib from LD_PRELOAD (don't forget the leading dot!)

       [-show|-sh]
              show the current value of the LD_PRELOAD variable

       <withoutanyargument>
              create a new shell with LD_PRELOAD including tsocks(8).
