DESCRIPTION
     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
     httpd may be invoked by the Internet daemon inetd(8) each time a connection
     to the HTTP service is made.

     This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details of  the
     directives  necessary  to  configure  httpd see the Apache manual, which is
     part   of   the    Apache    distribution    or    can    be    found    at
     http://httpd.apache.org/.  Paths  in this manual may not reflect those com-
     piled into httpd.

OPTIONS
     -R libexecdir
                 This option is only available if  Apache  was  built  with  the
                 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.

     -d serverroot
                 Set  the  initial value for the ServerRoot directive to server-
                 root. This can be overridden by the ServerRoot command  in  the
                 configuration file. The default is /usr/local/apache.

     -f config   Execute  the  commands in the file config on startup. If config
                 does not begin with a /, then it is taken to be a path relative
                 to the ServerRoot. The default is conf/httpd.conf.

     -C directive
                 Process  the  configuration  directive  before  reading  config
                 files.

     -c directive
                 Process the configuration directive after reading config files.

     -D parameter
                 Sets  a  configuration  parameter which can be used with <IfDe-
                 fine>...</IfDefine> sections in the configuration files to con-
                 ditionally skip or process commands.

     -h          Output a short summary of available command line options.

     -l          Output a list of modules compiled into the server.

     -L          Output a list of directives together  with  expected  arguments
                 and places where the directive is valid.

     -S          Show  the  settings  as  parsed from the config file (currently
                 only shows the virtualhost settings).

     -t          Run syntax tests for configuration files only. The program  im-
                 mediately exits after these syntax parsing with either a return
                 code of 0 (Syntax OK) or return code not equal to 0 (Syntax Er-
                 ror).

     -T          Same  as  option  -t but does not check the configured document
                 roots.

     -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.

     -v          Print the version of httpd , and then exit.

     -V          Print the version and build parameters  of  httpd  ,  and  then
                 exit.
