You should repeat this for all nodes you ConnectTo, or which ConnectTo you.
Lock tinc into main memory.
This will prevent sensitive data like shared private keys to be written to the system swap files/partitions.
+This option is not supported on all platforms.
+
@item --logfile[=@var{file}]
Write log entries to a file instead of to the system logging facility.
If @var{file} is omitted, the default is @file{@value{localstatedir}/log/tinc.@var{netname}.log}.
Note also that tinc can't run scripts anymore (such as tinc-down or host-up),
unless it's setup to be runnable inside chroot environment.
+This option is not supported on all platforms.
@item -U, --user=@var{user}
Switch to the given @var{user} after initialization, at the same time as
chroot is performed (see --chroot above). With this option tinc drops
privileges, for added security.
+This option is not supported on all platforms.
+
@item --help
Display a short reminder of these runtime options and terminate.
Export all host configuration files to standard output.
@item import [--force]
-Import host configuration file(s) from standard input.
+Import host configuration file(s) generated by the tincctl export command from standard input.
Already existing host configuration files are not overwritten unless the option --force is used.
+@item exchange [--force]
+The same as export followed by import.
+
+@item exchange-all [--force]
+The same as export-all followed by import.
+
@item start [tincd options]
Start @samp{tincd}, optionally with the given extra options.
