.\"*********************************************************
+.TP
+.B --port-share host port
+When run in TCP server mode, share the OpenVPN port with
+another application, such as an HTTPS server. If OpenVPN
+senses a connection to its port which is using a non-OpenVPN
+protocol, it will proxy the connection to the server at
+.B host:port.
+Currently only designed to work with HTTPS,
+though it would be theoretically possible to extend to
+other protocols such as ssh.
+
+Currently only implemented
+on Linux, though porting to BSDs should be straightforward.
+The reason for the non-portability is that the current implementation
+uses sendmsg and recvmsg for passing file descriptors between
+processes.
