45 <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
46 <para><command>pazpar2</command> is the Pazpar2 Metasearch daemon
48 In normal operation it acts as a simple HTTP server which serves
50 The HTTP listener address may be given on the command line using
51 option <option>-h</option> or in the main configuration
52 file. The main configuration must be specified using option
57 <refsect1><title>OPTIONS</title>
62 <term><option>-d</option></term>
65 Enables dump of XML records to the current log file.
66 It is useful if stylesheets are being debugged.
71 <term><option>-D</option></term>
73 <para>Puts the Pazpar2 server in the background.</para>
77 <term><option>-f <replaceable>config</replaceable></option></term>
80 Specifies main configuration. This option must be specified
81 in order for Pazpar2 to operate normally.
86 <term><option>-h <replaceable>ip:port</replaceable></option></term>
89 Specifies the HTTP listener binding address.
90 The <replaceable>ip</replaceable>
91 may be a hostname or <literal>@</literal> for "any" address.
92 The <replaceable>port</replaceable> is an integer.
97 <term><option>-l <replaceable>logfile</replaceable></option></term>
100 Specifies log file. The log file must be specified when Pazpar2
101 is running in the background (-D).
106 <term><option>-p <replaceable>pidfile</replaceable></option></term>
109 Specifies PID file. If Pazpar2 is started and configured properly
110 the file given holds the process ID of the Pazpar2 process.
116 <term><option>-t</option></term>
119 Checks parameters and configuration. No service or daemon is
120 started. Useful for checking a new configuration before a
121 Pazpar2 is restarted.
125 In Pazpar2 1.2 and earlier releasese, option -t specified a
126 local target settings file.
133 <term><option>-u <replaceable>uid</replaceable></option></term>
136 Makes the Pazpar2 server change user ID to the
137 <replaceable>uid</replaceable> given.
138 This, normally, requires root privilege.
144 <term><option>-V</option></term>
147 Shows Pazpar2 version and versions of some of the components that it
148 is using (ICU and YAZ). Pazpar2 will exit immediately after
149 displaying the version information (no daemon started).
155 <term><option>-v <replaceable>level</replaceable></option></term>
158 Sets log level (YAZ log level system).
164 <term><option>-X</option></term>
167 Makes the Pazpar2 server operate in debugging mode.
168 This prevents Pazpar2 from making separate threads and processes.
169 This option should not be used in production.
175 <term><option>-install</option></term>
178 This is an option which is only recognized on Windows. It installs
179 Pazpar2 as a Windows Service.
183 Pazpar2 only supports Windows Service options if Pazpar2 is
184 linked against YAZ 3.0.29 or later.
191 <term><option>-remove</option></term>
194 This is an option which is only recognized on Windows. It removes
195 a Pazpar2 - Windows Service.
204 <refsect1><title>EXAMPLES</title>
205 <para>The Debian package of pazpar2 starts the server with:
207 pazpar2 -D -f /etc/pazpar2/pazpar2.cfg -l /var/log/pazpar2.log -p /var/run/pazpar2.pid -u nobody
212 This will put pazpar2 in the background (-D), read config from from
213 <filename>/etc/pazpar2/pazpar2.cfg</filename>, log messages to
214 <filename>/var/log/pazpar2.log</filename>, create PID file
215 <filename>/var/run/pazpar2.pid</filename>. When the daemon is properly
216 started, the server will change effective user ID to nobody.
219 The server can be terminated with:
221 kill `cat /var/run/pazpar2.pid`
225 If Pazpar2 is to be debugged using GDB, we use option -X:
229 (gdb) run -X -f ../etc/pazpar2.cfg
