12 EchoLink is a software system for connecting licensed radio amateurs to
13 communicate over the internet using Voice over IP (VoIP). EchoLink
14 clients require that UDP ports 5198 and 5199 be "forwarded" to the
15 machine running the client. When this is not allowed or otherwise not
16 possible, a proxy is used to listen for data on these ports and forward
17 this data to a client over a TCP stream.
18 OpenELP, an Open Source EchoLink Proxy, is a performance-oriented proxy
20 which can be used with EchoLink software. It uses a compatible proto‐
21 col, and a compatible configuration file syntax with the Java EchoLink
22 proxy available from the EchoLink website.

25 -d Enable debugging output to the specified logging utility (by
26 default, this is STDOUT/STDERR). Default behavior is to produce
27 no debug output.
28 -F If specified, this parameter causes the main thread to run in
30 the foreground, and not daemonize. Child threads are still cre‐
31 ated for each additional port, but the main thread does not
32 return unless the proxy is shut down. Default behavior is to
33 daemonize.
34 -L After initial startup is complete, switch the logging utility to
36 output all information to the given file. If the file does not
37 exist, it will be created. If it does exist, new log data will
38 be appended to it. This flag is incompatible with -S. Default
39 behavior is not to use a log file, and route all information to
40 STDOUT.
41 -S After initial startup is complete, switch the logging utility to
43 output all information to syslog. This flag is incompatible with
44 -L. Default behaviour is not to use syslog, and route all infor‐
45 mation to STDOUT.
46 -V Print the version of the daemon executable and exit.
48 If the configuration file path is not specified, openelpd will first
50 attempt to open the file named ELProxy.conf in the current working
51 directory. On systems where a global configuration file path hint was
52 specified at compile time, openelpd will use that configuration path as
53 a last resort.
