.SH NAME
sshdrill \- a ssh wrapper to automate tunnel creation over multiple jump hosts
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B sshdrill
.RI [ arguments ]
.br
.B sshdrill
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B sshdrill
runs as a wrapper around an interactive
.BR ssh (1)
session.
It will
listen for the ssh escape sequence '~C' to break into a command prompt
which accepts ssh's forwarding syntax.
sshdrill converts the requested
forwarding into a series of forwardings for each hop on the way, scans
how many nested ssh sessions are running, and applies the forwardings
accordingly.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
If
.B sshdrill
is invoked with arguments, it will run
.BR ssh (1)
directly and pass all arguments unmodified.
.br
If run without arguments, it will execute a login shell.
