cotoxy 0.1.0
A TCP proxy using Consul for service discovery

USAGE:
    cotoxy [OPTIONS] <SERVICE> [--] [THREADS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
        --bind-addr <BIND_ADDR>                TCP address to which the proxy bind [default: 0.0.0.0:17382]
        --connect-timeout <CONNECT_TIMEOUT>    TCP connect timeout in milliseconds [default: 1000]
        --consul-addr <CONSUL_ADDR>            TCP address of the consul agent which the proxy queries [default:
                                               127.0.0.1:8500]
        --dc <DC>                              Datacenter to query [default: <Datacenter of the consul agent being
                                               queried>]
        --log-level <LOG_LEVEL>                 [default: info]  [values: debug, info, warning, error]
        --near <NEAR>                          Node name to sort the service node list in ascending order based on the
                                               estimated round trip time from that node. If `_agent` is specified, the
                                               node of the consul agent being queried will be used for the sort.
        --node-meta <NODE_META>...             Node metadata key/value pair of the form `key:value`. Service nodes will
                                               be filtered with the specified key/value pairs.
        --service-port <SERVICE_PORT>          Port number of the service [default: <Port number registered in Consul>]
        --tag <TAG>                            Tag to filter service nodes on

ARGS:
    <SERVICE>    Name of the service to which clients connect
    <THREADS>    Number of worker threads [default: 1]
