| <p><code>httpd</code> is the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol |
| (HTTP) server program. It is designed to be run as a standalone |
| daemon process. When used like this it will create a pool of |
| child processes or threads to handle requests.</p> |
| |
| <p>In general, <code>httpd</code> should not be invoked directly, |
| but rather should be invoked via <a href="apachectl.html">apachectl</a> on Unix-based systems or <a href="../platform/windows.html#winsvc">as a service on Windows NT, |
| 2000 and XP</a> and <a href="../platform/windows.html#wincons">as |
| a console application on Windows 9x and ME</a>.</p> |

| <dd>Sets the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#loglevel">LogLevel</a></code> to |

| |
| <dd>Run syntax tests for configuration files only. The program |
| immediately exits after these syntax parsing tests with either a return code |
| of 0 (Syntax OK) or return code not equal to 0 (Syntax Error). If -D |
| <var>DUMP</var>_<var>VHOSTS </var>is also set, details of the virtual host |
