+**PathsNeededToBuildCircuits** __NUM__::
+ Tor clients don't build circuits for user traffic until they know
+ about enough of the network so that they could potentially construct
+ enough of the possible paths through the network. If this option
+ is set to a fraction between 0.25 and 0.95, Tor won't build circuits
+ until it has enough descriptors or microdescriptors to construct
+ that fraction of possible paths. Note that setting this option too low
+ can make your Tor client less anonymous, and setting it too high can
+ prevent your Tor client from bootstrapping. If this option is negative,
+ Tor will use a default value chosen by the directory
+ authorities. (Default: -1.)
