.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
With \fBpcontrol\fR commands can be send to the running
\fBpproxy\fR or \fBpserv\fR server\&. If no
files are given on the command line and the --command
option is not used, commands are read
interactively from the terminal\&. If GNU readline support is compiled
in, it will be used\&.
.PP
If one or more filenames are given on the command line, these files
are read in order and
all lines are send to the server\&. Lines beginning with \&'#\&' are
ignored\&. \&'-\&' can be used to read from STDIN\&.
.PP
If the --command option is used, the command after
--command is send to the server\&.
.PP
If neither the --program nor the
--socket option is given, the
program will look for the socket of a running \fBpproxy\fR
and if that is not found for the socket of a running
\fBpserv\fR\&.
.PP
Start the program in interactive mode and type \&'/h\&' for more information
about possible commands, parameters and return codes\&.
