.SH "NAME"
valgrind-listener \- listens on a socket for Valgrind commentary
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBvalgrind\-listener\fR\ 'u
\fBvalgrind\-listener\fR [\fIoptions\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBvalgrind\-listener\fR
accepts (multiple) connections from
\fBvalgrind\fR
processes that use the
\fB\-\-log\-socket\fR
option on the specified port and copies the commentary it is sent to stdout\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-e \-\-exit\-at\-zero\fR
.RS 4
When the number of connected processes falls back to zero, exit\&. Without this, it will run forever, that is, until you send it Control\-C\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-max\-connect=INTEGER\fR
.RS 4
By default, the listener can connect to up to 50 processes\&. Occasionally, that number is too small\&. Use this option to provide a different limit\&. E\&.g\&.
\-\-max\-connect=100\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBportnumber\fR
.RS 4
Changes the port it listens on from the default (1500)\&. The specified port must be in the range 1024 to 65535\&. The same restriction applies to port numbers specified by a
\fB\-\-log\-socket\fR
to Valgrind itself\&.
