35.SH "DESCRIPTION"
36.PP
37\fBvalgrind\-listener\fR
38accepts (multiple) connections from
39\fBvalgrind\fR
40processes that use the
41\fB\-\-log\-socket\fR
42option on the specified port and copies the commentary it is sent to stdout\&.
43.SH "OPTIONS"
44.PP
45\fB\-e \-\-exit\-at\-zero\fR
46.RS 4
47When the number of connected processes falls back to zero, exit\&. Without this, it will run forever, that is, until you send it Control\-C\&.

49.PP
50\fB\-\-max\-connect=INTEGER\fR
51.RS 4
52By 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\&.
53\-\-max\-connect=100\&.

56\fBportnumber\fR
57.RS 4
58Changes 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
