3.5 Dicod Invocation

This section summarizes dicod command line options.

‘--config=file’

Read this configuration file instead of the default ‘$sysconfdir/dicod.conf’. See section Configuration.

‘-f’
‘--foreground’

Operate in foreground. See section Daemon Operation Mode.

‘--stderr’

Output diagnostic to stderr. See section –stderr.

‘--syslog’

After successful startup, output any diagnostic to syslog. This is the default.

‘-E’

Preprocess configuration file and exit. See section Using Preprocessor to Improve the Configuration..

‘--preprocessor=prog’

Use prog as a preprocessor for configuration file. The default preprocessor command line is m4 -s, unless overridden while configuring the package (see section Default Preprocessor).

See section Using Preprocessor to Improve the Configuration..

‘--no-preprocessor’

Do not use external preprocessor. See section Using Preprocessor to Improve the Configuration..

‘-I dir’
‘--include-dir=dir’

Add the directory dir to the list of directories to be searched for preprocessor include files. See section Using Preprocessor to Improve the Configuration..

‘-s’
‘--single-process’

In daemon mode, process connections in the main process, without starting subprocesses for each connection (see section Daemon Operation Mode). This means that the daemon is able to serve only one client at a time. The ‘--single-process’ option is provided for debugging purposes only. Never use it in production environment.

‘-T’
‘--transcript’

Enable session transcript. This instructs dicod to log all commands it receives and all responses it sends during the session. Transcript is logged via the default logging channel (see section Logging and Debugging). If logging via syslog, the ‘debug’ priority is used.

See also Session Transcript, for a description of the similar mode in dico, the client program.

‘--no-transcript’

Disable transcript mode. This is the default. Use this option if you wish to temporarly disable transcript mode, enabled in the configuration file (see section transcript).

‘-i’
‘--inetd’

Run in inetd mode. See section Inetd Operation Mode.

‘-x’
‘--debug=level’

Set debug verbosity level. The level argument is an integer ranging from ‘0’ (no debugging) to ‘100’ (maximum debugging information).

‘--source-info’

Include source line information in the debugging output.

‘--trace-grammar’

Trace parsing of the config file. The option is provided for debugging purposes.

‘--trace-lex’

Trace config file lexer. The option is provided for debugging purposes.

‘--config-help’

Show configuration file summary. See section Configuration.

‘-t’
‘--lint’

Check configuration file syntax and exit with code ‘0’ if it is OK, or with ‘78’ if there are errors. See section Configuration.

‘-h’
‘--help’

Display a short command line option summary and exit.

‘--usage’

List all available command line options and exit.

‘--version’

Print program version and exit.
