       fig ] [ -C directive ] [ -c directive ] [ -D parameter ]

       httpd [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -L ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -S ] [ -t  ]	[

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 configu-
       ration  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 distri-
       bution or can be found at http://www.apache.org/. Paths in
       this manual may not reflect those compiled 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 Server-
		   Root per default. Use this option if you  want
		   to override it.

       -d serverroot
		   Set	the  initial  value  for  the  ServerRoot
		   directive to serverroot. This can be	 overrid-
		   den	by the ServerRoot command in the configu-
		   ration 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 <IfDefine>...</IfDefine> sections in
		   the configuration files to conditionally  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 direc-
		   tive 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 immediately exits after these syn-
		   tax	parsing	 with  either  a return code of 0
		   (Syntax OK) or return  code	not  equal  to	0
		   (Syntax Error).

       -T	   Same	 as option -t but does not check the con-
		   figured 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.
