 The forwarding option can be used in conjunction with the proxy table options by simply including both the 'forward' and 'router' properties in the options passed to 'createServer'.
 
+### Using node-http-proxy from the command line
+When you install this package with npm, a node-http-proxy binary will become available to you. Using this binary is easy with some simple options:
+<pre>
+  usage: node-http-proxy [options] 
+
+  All options should be set with the syntax --option=value
+
+  options:
+    --port   PORT       Port that the proxy server should run on
+    --target HOST:PORT  Location of the server the proxy will target
+    --config OUTFILE    Location of the configuration file for the proxy server
+    --silent            Silence the log output from the proxy server
+    -h, --help          You're staring at it
+</pre>
