.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBStone\fP is a TCP & UDP repeater in the application layer.  It repeats TCP
and UDP from inside to outside of a firewall, or from outside to inside.
.P
\fBStone\fP has following features:
.
.TP
.B 1. Stone supports Win32.
Formerly, UNIX machines are used as firewalls, but recently
WindowsNT machines are used, too.  You can easily run \fBstone\fP on
WindowsNT and Windows95.  Of course, available on Linux,
FreeBSD, BSD/OS, SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX and so on.
.
.TP
.B 2. Simple.
\fBStone\fP's source code is only 8000 lines long (written in C
language), so you can minimize the risk of security
holes.
.
.TP
.B 3. Stone supports SSL.
Using OpenSSL (\fIhttp://www.openssl.org/\fP), \fBstone\fP can
encrypt/decrypt.  Client verifications, and server verifications
are also supported.  \fBStone\fP can send a substring of the subject
of the certificate to the destination.
.
.TP
.B 4. Stone is a http proxy.
\fBStone\fP can also be a tiny http proxy.
.
.TP
.B 5. POP -> APOP conversion.
With \fBstone\fP and a mailer that does not support APOP, you can
access to an APOP server.
.
.TP
.B 6. Stone supports IPv6.
\fBStone\fP can convert IP and IPv6 each other.  With \fBstone\fP, you can
use IP-only software on IPv6 network.
.
.SH OPTIONS
If the \fB-C\fP \fIfile\fP flag is used, the program read these
options and \fIst\fPs from the configuration file \fIfile\fP.
If the \fB-P\fP \fIcommand\fP flag is used, the program executes
specified pre-processor to read the configuration file.  \fB-Q\fP \fIoptions\fP
can be used to pass options to the pre-processor.  If the \fB-N\fP
flag is used, \fBstone\fP will terminate after parsing options
and configuration file without opening the ports.
.P
If the \fB-d\fP flag is used, then increase the debug level.  If
the \fB-p\fP flag is used, data repeated by \fBstone\fP are dumped.  If
the \fB-n\fP is used, IP addresses and service port numbers are
shown instead of host names and service names.
.P
If the \fB-u\fP \fImax\fP flag (\fImax\fP is integer) is used, the
program memorize \fImax\fP UDP sources simultaneously.  The default value
is 100. If the
\fB-f\fP \fIn\fP flag (\fIn\fP is integer) is used, the program spawn
\fIn\fP child processes. The default behavior is not to spawn any child processes.
.P
If the \fB-l\fP flag is used, the program sends error messages to
the syslog instead of stderr.  If the \fB-L\fP \fIfile\fP (\fIfile\fP
is a file name) flag is used, the program writes error messages
to the file.  If the \fB-a\fP \fIfile\fP flag is used, the program
writes accounting to the file.  If the \fB-i\fP \fIfile\fP flag is
used, the program writes its process ID to the file.
.P
The \fB-X\fP \fIn\fP flag alters the buffer size of the repeater.
The default value is 1000 bytes. If
the \fB-T\fP \fIn\fP is used, the timeout of TCP sessions can be
specified to \fIn\fP sec.  Default: 600 (10 min).  The \fB-r\fP flag is
used, SO_REUSEADDR is set on the socket of \fIst\fP .
.P
Using the \fB-x\fP \fIport\fP[,\fIport\fP][-\fIport\fP]... \fIxhost\fP... \fB--\FP flag,
the http proxy (described later) can only connect to
\fIxhost\fP:\fIport\fP.  If more than one \fB-x\fP ... \fB--\fI flags are
designated, the posterior one whose \fIport\fP list matches the
connecting port.  If the \fB-x\fP \fB--\fP is used, prior \fB-x\fP flags
are ignored.
.P
The \fB-b\fP \fIn\fP \fImaster\fP:\fIport\fP \fIbackup\fP:\fIport\fP flag designates
the backup destination for \fImaster\fP:\fIport\fP.  The program checks
every \fIn\fP seconds whether \fImaster\fP:\fIport\fP is connectable, using
the health check script defined by \fB-s\fP flag described below.
If not, the backup is used instead.  Alternative \fIhost\fP can be
checked, using host=\fIhost\fP and alternative \fIport\fP, using
port=\fIport\fP.
.P
The \fB-s\fP \fIsend\fP \fIexpect\fP... \fB--\fP flag defines the health check
script.  Sending \fIsend\fP, then checks whether the response match
the regular expression \fIexpect\fP.
.P
The \fB-B\fP \fIhost\fP:\fIport\fP \fIhost1\fP:\fIport1\fP... \fB--\fP is for the
destination group.  If the destination of \fIst\fP is \fIhost\fP:\fIport\fP,
the program chooses a destination randomly from the group.  The
destination \fIhost\fP:\fIport\fP that is designated by \fB-b\fP flag and
turned out unhealthy, is excluded from the group.
.P
The \fB-I\fP \fIhost\fP designates the interface used as the source
address of the connection to the desctination.
.P
If the \fB-o\fP \fIn\fP or \fB-g\fP \fIn\fP flag is used, the program set
its uid or gid to \fIn\fP respectively.  If the \fB-t\fP \fIdir\fP
flag (\fIdir\fP is a directory) is used, the program change its
root to the directory.  If the \fB-D\fP flas is used, \fBstone\fP runs
as a daemon. The \fB-c\fP \fIdir\fP flag designates the
directory for core dump.
.P
The \fB-M\fP install \fIname\fP and the \fB-M\fP remove \fIname\fP flags are
for NT service.  \fIname\fP is the service name.  Start the
service using the command: net start \fIname\fP.  To install \fBstone\fP
service as the name \fIrepeater\fP, for example:
.P
.RS
C:\\>\fBstone -M install \fIrepeater\fB -C \fIC:\\stone.cfg\fR
.br
C:\\>\fBnet start \fIrepeater\fR
.RE
.P
The \fB-q\fP \FISSL\FP and the \fB-z\fP \FISSL\FP flags are for SSL
encryption.  The \fB-q\fP \FISSL\FP is for the client mode, that is,
when \fBstone\fP connects to the other SSL server as a SSL client.
The \fB-z\fP \FISSL\FP if for the server mode, that is, when other SSL
clients connect to the \fBstone\fP.
.P
\FISSL\FP is one of the following.
.P
.PD 0
.IP default 15
reset SSL options to the default.
Using multiple \fIst\fP, different SSL options can
be designated for each \fIst\fP.

to select the destination from the destination
group defined by \fB-B\fP flag.

.PD
.P
The program repeats the connection on port \fIsport\fP to the
other machine \fIhost\fP port \fIport\fP.  If the machine, on
which the program runs, has two or more interfaces, type (2) can
be used to repeat the connection on the specified interface
\fIshost\fP.  You can also specify path name that begins with
``/'' or ``./'', instead of \fIhost\fP:\fIport\fP so that the
program handles a unix domain socket.
.P
Type (3) is a http proxy.  Specify the machine, on which the
program runs, and port \fIsport\fP in the http proxy settings of
your WWW browser.
Extentions can be added to the ``proxy'' like \fIxhost\fP/\fIext\fP.
\fIext\fP is:
.P
.IP v4only
limit the destination within IP addresses.
.IP v6only
limit the destination within IPv6 addresses.
.P
Type (4) relays stream over http request.  \fIrequest\fP is the

.PD
.RE
.P
Type (5) repeats http request with \fIheader\fP in the top of
request headers.  The above escapes can be also used.

whether the \fBstone\fP runs `healthy' or not.  Following commands are
available to check the \fBstone\fP.
.P

.P
If the \fIxhost\fP are used, only machines or its IP addresses
listed in \fIxhost\fP separated by space character can
connect to the program and to be repeated.
.P
Extentions can be added to the \fIxhost\fP like
\fIxhost\fP/\fIex\fP,\fIex\fP....  \fIex\fP is:
.IP \fIm\fP
You can designate the length of prefix bits of the
netmask, so that only machines on specified.  In the
case of class C network 192.168.1.0, for example, use
``192.168.1.0/24''.
.IP v4
\fIxhost\fP is resolved as the IP address.
.IP v6
\fIxhost\fP is resolved as the IPv6 address.
.IP p\fIm\fP
the data repeated by the program are dumped, only if it
was connected by the machines specified by \fIxhost\fP.  \fIm\fP
is the dump mode, equivalent to the number of \fB-p\fP
options.
