+If you want to develop a user management system, Shadowsocks provides an API that allows you to add/remove ports on the fly, as well as get transfer statistics from Shadowsocks.
+
+Note: this feature is currently in progress on `manager` branch and not released yet.
+
+Setup
+-----
+
+Turn manager on by specifying `--manager-address`, which is either a Unix socket or an IP address:
+```
+python shadowsocks/server.py --manager-address /var/run/shadowsocks-manager.sock -c tests/server-multi-passwd.json
+# or
+python shadowsocks/server.py --manager-address 127.0.0.1:6001 -c tests/server-multi-passwd.json
+```
+
+For security reasons, you should use Unix sockets.
+
+Protocol
+--------
+
+You can send UDP data to Shadowsocks.
+
+```
+command[: JSON data]
+```
+
+To add a port:
+
+```
+add: {"server_port": 8001, "password":"7cd308cc059"}
+```
+
+To remove a port:
+
+```
+remove: {"server_port": 8001}
+```
+
+To receive a pong:
+
+```
+ping
+```
+
+Shadowsocks will send back transfer statistics:
+
+```
+stat: {"8001":11370}
+```
