NAME
     gopherd - the GoFish gopher server

SYNOPSIS
     gopherd [-dp] [-v] [config_file]

DESCRIPTION
     GoFish is a very simple gopher server. It is designed with security and low
     resource  usage  in mind. GoFish uses a single process that handles all the
     connections. This provides low resource usage,  good  latency  (no  context
     switches), and good scalability.

     GoFish  runs  in  a  chroot(2) environment. This means that GoFish can only
     serve files from the root directory or below. While GoFish must run at root
     privilege to be able to use port 70, it drops to a normal	user  while  ac-
     cessing files.

OPTIONS
     -d     daemon mode

     -p     preprocess cache

     -v     increase verbosity

FILES
     /etc/gofish.conf

SEE ALSO
     gofish(5), dotcache(5), mkcache(1), Internet RFC 1436
