3 Options for generic frontend server and yaz-ztest.
4 Included in both manual and man page for yaz-ztest
9 <varlistentry><term><literal>-a </literal>
10 <replaceable>file</replaceable></term>
12 Specify a file for dumping PDUs (for diagnostic purposes).
13 The special name <literal>-</literal> (dash) sends output to
14 <literal>stderr</literal>.
15 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
17 <varlistentry><term><literal>-S</literal></term>
19 Don't fork or make threads on connection requests. This is good for
20 debugging, but not recommended for real operation: Although the
21 server is asynchronous and non-blocking, it can be nice to keep
22 a software malfunction (okay then, a crash) from affecting all
24 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
26 <varlistentry><term><literal>-1</literal></term>
28 Like <literal>-S</literal> but after one session the server
29 exits. This mode is for debugging <emphasis>only</emphasis>.
30 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
32 <varlistentry><term><literal>-T</literal></term>
34 Operate the server in threaded mode. The server creates a thread
35 for each connection rather than a fork a process. Only available
36 on UNIX systems that offers POSIX threads.
37 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
39 <varlistentry><term><literal>-s</literal></term>
41 Use the SR protocol (obsolete).
42 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
44 <varlistentry><term><literal>-z</literal></term>
46 Use the Z39.50 protocol (default). This option and <literal>-s</literal>
47 complement each other.
48 You can use both multiple times on the same command
49 line, between listener-specifications (see below). This way, you
50 can set up the server to listen for connections in both protocols
51 concurrently, on different local ports.
52 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
54 <varlistentry><term><literal>-l </literal>
55 <replaceable>file</replaceable></term>
56 <listitem><para>The logfile.
57 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
59 <varlistentry><term><literal>-c </literal>
60 <replaceable>config</replaceable></term>
61 <listitem><para>A user option that serves as a specifier for some
62 sort of configuration, e.g. a filename.
63 The argument to this option is transferred to member
64 <literal>configname</literal>of the
65 <literal>statserv_options_block</literal>.
66 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
68 <varlistentry><term><literal>-v </literal>
69 <replaceable>level</replaceable></term>
71 The log level. Use a comma-separated list of members of the set
72 {fatal,debug,warn,log,malloc,all,none}.
73 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
75 <varlistentry><term><literal>-u </literal>
76 <replaceable>uid</replaceable></term>
78 Set user ID. Sets the real UID of the server process to that of the
79 given user. It's useful if you aren't comfortable with having the
80 server run as root, but you need to start it as such to bind a
82 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
84 <varlistentry><term><literal>-w </literal>
85 <replaceable>dir</replaceable></term>
87 The server changes to this directory during before listening
88 on incoming connections. This option is useful
89 when the server is operating from the <application>inetd</application>
90 daemon (see <literal>-i</literal>).
91 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
93 <varlistentry><term><literal>-i</literal></term>
95 Use this to make the the server run from the
96 <application>inetd</application> server (UNIX only).
97 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
99 <varlistentry><term><literal>-install</literal></term>
101 Use this to install the server as an NT service
102 (Windows 2000/NT only).
103 Control the server by going to the Services in the Control Panel.
104 </para></listitem></varlistentry>
106 <varlistentry><term><literal>-remove</literal></term>
108 Use this to remove the server from the NT services
109 (Windows 2000/NT only).
