<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>systemd-socket-proxyd</command> is a generic
socket-activated network socket forwarder proxy daemon
for IPv4, IPv6 and UNIX stream sockets. It may be used
to bi-directionally forward traffic from a local listening socket to a
local or remote destination socket.</para>
<para>One use of this tool is to provide
socket activation support for services that do not
natively support socket activation. On behalf of the
service to activate, the proxy inherits the socket
from systemd, accepts each client connection, opens a
connection to a configured 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>

<title>Options</title>
<para>The following options are understood:</para>

<title>Simple Example</title>
<para>Use two services with a dependency
and no namespace isolation.</para>

<title>Namespace Example</title>
<para>Similar as above, but runs the socket
proxy and the main service in the same private
namespace, assuming that
<filename>nginx.service</filename> has
<varname>PrivateTmp=</varname> and
<varname>PrivateNetwork=</varname> set,
too.</para>
