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 accessing 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
