+ <title>Description</title>
+ <para>
+ <command>systemd-socket-proxyd</command> provides a proxy
+ to socket-activate services that do not yet support
+ native socket activation. On behalf of the daemon,
+ the proxy inherits the socket from systemd, accepts
+ each client connection, opens a connection to the server
+ for each client, and then bidirectionally forwards
+ data between the two.</para>
+ <para>This utility's behavior is similar to
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>socat</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum> </citerefentry>.
+ The main differences for <command>systemd-socket-proxyd</command>
+ are support for socket activation with
+ <literal>Accept=false</literal> and an event-driven
+ design that scales better with the number of
+ connections.</para>
