+symmetrically encrypted and authenticated pipes between socket addresses, so
+that one may connect to one address (e.g., a UNIX socket on localhost) and
+transparently have a connection established to another address (e.g., a UNIX
+socket on a different system).  This is similar to 'ssh -L' functionality, but
+does not use SSH and requires a pre-shared symmetric key.")
