NAME
       usewithtor - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the torsocks(8) library to transparently allow an application to use a SOCKS proxy.

SYNOPSIS
       usewithtor [application [application's arguments]]

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

OPTIONS
       [application [application's arguments]]
	      run  the application as specified with the environment (LD_PRELOAD) set such that torsocks(8) will transparently proxy SOCKS connec-
	      tions in that program.

USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORSOCKS
       usewithtor runs torsocks(1) with the default configuration file, located at /etc/torsocks.conf.	Running torsocks(1) directly means that no
       configuration  file  will  be  used (unless you manually set the TORSOCKS_CONF_FILE or TSOCKS_CONF_FILE environment variable), instead tor-
       socks(8) will use defaults that are sensible for most Tor installations.

USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORIFY
       usewithtor(1) and torify(1) intend to achieve the same ends for most practical purposes.  However  torify(1)  will  use	a  default  tsocks
       installation if one exists.  Usewithtor(1) will only ever use a torsocks(8) installation.
