    <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>
