     lighttpd - a fast, secure and flexible web server

SYNOPSIS
     lighttpd [-ptDvVh] -f configfile [-m moduledir]

DESCRIPTION
     lighttpd  (pronounced  'lighty') is an advanced HTTP daemon that aims to be
     secure, fast, compliant and very flexible.  It has been optimized for  high
     performance.   Its  feature  set  includes, but is not limited to, FastCGI,
     CGI, basic and digest HTTP authentication, output compression, URL  rewrit-
     ing.

     This manual page only lists the command line arguments.  For details on how
     to configure lighttpd and its modules see the files in the doc-directory.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -f  configfile

	     the default.

     -t      Test the configuration file for syntax errors and exit.

     -tt     Test  the configuration file for syntax errors, load and initialize
	     modules, and exit.

     -D      Do not daemonize (go into background). The default is to daemonize.

     -i  secs
	     Trigger daemon graceful shutdown after secs of inactivity.

     -1      Process single (one) request on stdin socket, then exit.

     -v      Show version and exit.
