.SH NAME
std2fifo - a std{in,out} <-> <dir>/<env var>/{in,out} proxy

.SH SYNOPSIS
std2fifo [\fIoption ...\fR] [--] <\fIdir\fR>

.SH DESCRIPTION
std2fifo is a helper program for TLSd. Given a root directory and an
environment variable, it creates a "<\fIroot dir\fR>/<\fIenv var\fR>/"
directory, writes input into the "out" FIFO in that directory, and
prints the "in" FIFO output.

Overall, it tries to be suitable for use with TLSd (or other
super-servers), and with common tools on the other end.

.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\fB\-v\fR \fIvar\fR"
An environment variable name (default is \fBSHA256\fR).
.IP \fB\-c\fR
Continuous streams mode: do not reopen streams once they are closed,
and do not close the "out" stream after each message. It is intended
for applications such as file transfer, as opposed to textual
messaging.
.IP "\fB\-i\fR \fIident\fR"
Syslog identifier to use.
.IP \fB\-e\fR
Print messages into stderr, in addition to syslog.
.IP \fB\-h\fR
Print a help message and exit.

.SH EXAMPLES
.nf
FOO=bar std2fifo -v FOO -ce /tmp/
.fi

.nf
tlsd -p 5601 -e -- std2fifo -e ~/.chat/
.fi
