NAME
     alevtd - webserver for videotext pages

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/

     Pages may be requested either in HTML format (http://localhost:5654/<page>/
     or  http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.html)  or  in  ASCII text format
     (http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.txt).  Subpage "00" can be used for
     pages without subpages.

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

     -v dev
	    set vbi device (default: /dev/vbi0).

     -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 connections).

     -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  redi-
	    rects).

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

     -l log
	    log  all  requests	to the logfile >log< (common log format).  Using
	    "-" as filename makes alevtd 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.

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

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

     -r     poll  tv  frequency,  clear vtx page cache if a frequency change was
	    detected.
