SYNOPSIS

       alevtd [ options ]


DESCRIPTION

       alevtd  is  http  daemon  which  serves videotext pages as
       HTML.  Tune in some station with a utility like v4lctl  or
       some TV application.  Then start it and point your browser
       to http://localhost:5654/


OPTIONS

       -h     print a short help text and the default values  for
              all options.

       -v dev set vbi device (default: /dev/vbi).

       -d     enable debug output.

       -s     Write a start/stop notice and serious errors to the
              syslog.  Specify this option twice to get a verbose
              log  (additional  log  events  like dropped connec­
              tions).

       -t sec set network timeout to >sec< seconds.

       -c n   set the number of allowed parallel  connections  to
              >n<.  This is a per-thread limit.

       -p port
              listen  on  port  >port<  for incoming connections.
              Default 5654.

       -n hostname
              set  the  hostname  which  the  server  should  use
              (required for redirects).

       -i ip  bind to IP-address >ip<.

       -l log log  all  requests to the logfile >log< (common log
              format).  Using "-" as filename makes webfsd  print
              the  access  log  to  stdout,  which is only useful
              together with the -F switch (see below).

       -L log same as above, but  additional  flush  every  line.
              Useful  if  you  want monitor the logfile with tail
              -f.

       -u user
              set uid to >user< (after binding to the tcp  port).
              This option is allowed for root only.

              set gid to >group< (after binding to the tcp port).
              This option is allowed for root only.

       -F     don't run as daemon.  webfsd  will  not  fork  into
              background,  not  detach  from  terminal and report
              errors to stderr.
