48 <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
49 <para><command>pazpar2</command> is the Pazpar2 Metasearch daemon
51 In normal operation it acts as a simple HTTP server which serves
53 The HTTP listener address may be given on the command line using
54 option <option>-h</option> or in the main configuration
55 file. The main configuration must be specified using option
60 <refsect1><title>OPTIONS</title>
65 <term><option>-d</option></term>
68 Enables dump of XML records to the current log file.
69 It is useful if stylesheets are being debugged.
72 This option may also be used together with option <option>-t</option>
73 in which case the configuration, after include processing, will be
79 <term><option>-D</option></term>
81 <para>Puts the Pazpar2 server in the background.</para>
85 <term><option>-f <replaceable>config</replaceable></option></term>
88 Specifies main configuration. This option must be specified
89 in order for Pazpar2 to operate normally.
94 <term><option>-h <replaceable>ip:port</replaceable></option></term>
97 Specifies the HTTP listener binding address.
98 The <replaceable>ip</replaceable>
99 may be a hostname or <literal>@</literal> for "any" address.
100 The <replaceable>port</replaceable> is an integer.
105 <term><option>-l <replaceable>logfile</replaceable></option></term>
108 Specifies log file. The log file must be specified when Pazpar2
109 is running in the background (-D).
114 <term><option>-p <replaceable>pidfile</replaceable></option></term>
117 Specifies PID file. If Pazpar2 is started and configured properly
118 the file given holds the process ID of the Pazpar2 process.
124 <term><option>-t</option></term>
127 Checks parameters and configuration. No service or daemon is
128 started. Useful for checking a new configuration before a
129 Pazpar2 is restarted.
132 The configuration, after include processing, may also be dumped
133 to stdout by supplying option <option>-d</option> as well.
137 In Pazpar2 1.2 and earlier releases, option -t specified a
138 local target settings file.
145 <term><option>-u <replaceable>uid</replaceable></option></term>
148 Makes the Pazpar2 server change user ID to the
149 <replaceable>uid</replaceable> given.
150 This, normally, requires root privilege.
156 <term><option>-V</option></term>
159 Shows Pazpar2 version and versions of some of the components that it
160 is using (ICU and YAZ). Pazpar2 will exit immediately after
161 displaying the version information (no daemon started).
167 <term><option>-v <replaceable>level</replaceable></option></term>
170 Sets log level (YAZ log level system).
176 <term><option>-X</option></term>
179 Makes the Pazpar2 server operate in debugging mode.
180 This prevents Pazpar2 from making separate threads and processes.
181 This option should not be used in production.
187 <term><option>-install</option></term>
190 This is an option which is only recognized on Windows. It installs
191 Pazpar2 as a Windows Service.
195 Pazpar2 only supports Windows Service options if Pazpar2 is
196 linked against YAZ 3.0.29 or later.
203 <term><option>-remove</option></term>
206 This is an option which is only recognized on Windows. It removes
207 a Pazpar2 - Windows Service.
216 <refsect1><title>EXAMPLES</title>
217 <para>The Debian package of pazpar2 starts the server with:
219 pazpar2 -D -f /etc/pazpar2/pazpar2.cfg -l /var/log/pazpar2.log -p /var/run/pazpar2.pid -u nobody
224 This will put pazpar2 in the background (-D), read config from from
225 <filename>/etc/pazpar2/pazpar2.cfg</filename>, log messages to
226 <filename>/var/log/pazpar2.log</filename>, create PID file
227 <filename>/var/run/pazpar2.pid</filename>. When the daemon is properly
228 started, the server will change effective user ID to nobody.
231 The server can be terminated with:
233 kill `cat /var/run/pazpar2.pid`
237 If Pazpar2 is to be debugged using GDB, we use option -X:
241 (gdb) run -X -f ../etc/pazpar2.cfg
