| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B httpd |
| 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 to handle requests. To stop |
| it, send a TERM signal to the initial (parent) process. The PID of |
| this process is written to a file as given in the configuration file. |
| Alternatively |
| .B httpd |
| may be invoked by the Internet daemon inetd(8) each |
| time a connection to the HTTP service is made. |
| .PP |
| This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details |
| of the directives necessary to configure |
| .B httpd |
| see the Apache manual, |
| which is part of the Apache distribution or can be found at |
| http://www.apache.org/. Paths in this manual may not reflect those |
| compiled into |
| .B httpd. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP 12 |
| .BI \-R " libexecdir" |
| This option is only available if Apache was built with |
| the |
| .I SHARED_CORE |
| rule enabled which forces the Apache core code to be |
| placed into a dynamic shared object (DSO) file. This file |
| is searched in a hardcoded path under ServerRoot per default. Use this |
| option if you want to override it. |
| .TP 12 |
| .BI \-d " serverroot" |
| Set the initial value for the ServerRoot directive to \fIserverroot\fP. This |
| can be overridden by the ServerRoot command in the configuration file. The |
| default is \fB/usr/local/apache\fP. |
| .TP |
| .BI \-f " config" |
| Execute the commands in the file \fIconfig\fP on startup. If \fIconfig\fP |
| does not begin with a /, then it is taken to be a path relative to |
| the ServerRoot. The default is \fBconf/httpd.conf\fP. |
| .TP |
| .BI \-C " directive" |
| Process the configuration \fIdirective\fP before reading config files. |
| .TP |
| .BI \-c " directive" |
| Process the configuration \fIdirective\fP after reading config files. |
| .TP |
| .BI \-D " parameter" |
| Sets a configuration \fIparameter\fP which can be used with |
| <IfDefine>...</IfDefine> sections in the configuration files |
| to conditionally skip or process commands. |
| .TP |
| .B \-h |
| Output a short summary of available command line options. |
| .TP |
| .B \-l |
| Output a list of modules compiled into the server. |
| .TP |
| .B \-L |
| Output a list of directives together with expected arguments and |
| places where the directive is valid. |
| .TP |
| .B \-S |
| Show the settings as parsed from the config file (currently only shows the |
| virtualhost settings). |
| .TP |
| .B \-t |
| Run syntax tests for configuration files only. The program immediately exits |
| after these syntax parsing with either a return code of 0 (Syntax OK) or |
| return code not equal to 0 (Syntax Error). |
| .TP |
| .B \-T |
| Same as option |
| .B \-t |
| but does not check the configured document roots. |
| .TP |
| .B \-X |
| Run in single-process mode, for internal debugging purposes only; the daemon |
| does not detach from the terminal or fork any children. Do NOT use this mode |
| to provide ordinary web service. |
| .TP |
| .B \-v |
| Print the version of |
| .B httpd |
| , and then exit. |
| .TP |
| .B \-V |
| Print the version and build parameters of |
| .B httpd |
| , and then exit. |
