.SH NAME
|

weaseld \- convert between Gopher and Prospero protocols
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|

|

[\fB\-config \fItcl\-script\fR] [\fB\-debug\fR]
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B weaseld
|
|
serves the contents of a Prospero File System directory tree, while giving
|
|
the appearance, to Gopher clients, of an ordinary Gopher server. When
|
|
started without arguments \fBweaseld\fR listens on port 70 (officially
|
|
assigned to Gopher), and treats the root of the Prospero tree as the main
|
|
Gopher menu.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-acl \fIacl\-file\fR
|
|
Access control list.
|
|
.IR acl\-file
|
|
contains a list of network and host addresses, one per line, which
|
|
limits the sites that may access the server. All addresses must be
|
|
in dotted decimal format, and no other type of line may appear in the
|
|
file. Network addresses may be abreviated; for example, `8' refers
|
|
to the network `8.0.0.0'.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-config \fItcl\-script\fR
|
|
Execute \fItcl\-script\fR upon start\-up. Sending SIGUSR1 to the parent
|
|
process will cause the script to be re\-executed. This code is still under
|
|
development, so the exact effect of executing the script is not yet
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-debug
|
|
Write debugging information to \fIstderr\fR. Note that in normal
|
|
operation, as a daemon, \fIstderr\fR is not attached to any file,
|
|
so any ouput to it will be lost. (See below for information on the
|
|
\fB\-log\fR and \fB\-stay\fR options.) The \fB\-debug\fR option is
|
|
normally used for debugging.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-emesg \fIfile\fR
|
|
Where to log special messages.
|
|
Special messages, as opposed to those written to a log file, are normally
|
|
sent to the console. They may be directed to the file or device given
|
|
by the \fIfile\fR argument. This option is normally used for debugging.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-log \fIlog\-file\fR
|
|
Log debugging information to a file.
|
|
\fIstderr\fR is connected to the file given as the argument. This
|
|
allows debugging information to be saved when running as a daemon.
|
|
This option is normally used for debugging.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-pdebug \fInum\fR
|
|
Print Prospero debugging information to \fIstderr\fR. The Prospero
|
|
libraries use the numeric argument as a debug level. This option is
|
|
normally used for debugging.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-phost \fIhost\fR
|
|
The argument is the name of the host on which the Prospero directory
|
|
tree resides. The default is \fIlocalhost\fR.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-port \fInum\fR
|
|
The numeric argument is the port on which to listen for connections from
|
|
Gopher clients. The default is 70.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-proot \fIprosp\-root\fR
|
|
The argument is the name of the Prospero virtual directory which is to
|
|
appear as the root of the Gopher directory tree. The default is the
|
|
root of the Prospero virtual directory tree.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-stay
|
|
Stay in the foreground. The server will not background itself, as it
|
|
would when started normally. If the \fB\-debug\fR option is specified,
|
|
debugging information will be sent to \fIstderr\fR, unless overridden by
|
|
the \fB\-log\fR option. The \fB\-stay\fR option is normally used for
|
|
debugging.
|
|
|
|
.TP 5n
|
|
.B \-user \fIname\fR
|
|
.B weaseld
|
|
will attempt to change both its real and effective user IDs to that of
|
|
the specified user, which may be either a name or a number. Normally,
|
|
this is used only when the daemon is started by root.
