DESCRIPTION
       httpd-1.3 is the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server program. It is designed to  be  run
       as a stand-alone daemon process. When used like this it will create a pool of child processes to han-dle handle
       dle requests. To stop it, send a TERM signal to the initial (parent) process. The PID of this process
       is  written  to a file as given in the configuration file.  Alternatively httpd-1.3 may be invoked by
       the Internet daemon inetd(8) each time a connection to the HTTP service is made.

       This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details of the  directives  necessary  to
       configure  httpd-1.3  see the Apache manual, which is part of the Apache distribution or can be found
       at http://httpd.apache.org/ Paths in this manual may not reflect those compiled into httpd-1.3.

OPTIONS
       -R libexecdir
                   This option is only available if Apache was built with the SHARED_CORE rule enabled which
                   forces  the  Apache  core code to be placed into a dynamic shared object (DSO) file. This
                   file is searched in a hardcoded path under ServerRoot per default. Use this option if you
                   want to override it.

       -d serverroot
                   Set  the initial value for the ServerRoot directive to serverroot. This can be overridden
                   by the ServerRoot command in the configuration file. The default is /usr/local/apache.

       -f config   Execute the commands in the file config on startup. If config does not begin  with  a  /,
                   then   it   is   taken  to  be  a  path  relative  to  the  ServerRoot.  The  default  is
                   conf/httpd-1.3.conf.

       -C directive
                   Process the configuration directive before reading config files.

       -c directive
                   Process the configuration directive after reading config files.

       -D parameter
                   Sets a configuration parameter which can be used with  <IfDefine>...</IfDefine>  sections
                   in the configuration files to conditionally skip or process commands.

       -h          Output a short summary of available command line options.

       -l          Output a list of modules compiled into the server.

       -L          Output  a list of directives together with expected arguments and places where the direc-
                   tive is valid.

       -S          Show the settings as parsed from the config file (currently only  shows  the  virtualhost
                   settings).

       -t          Run  syntax tests for configuration files only. The program immediately exits after these
                   syntax parsing with either a return code of 0 (Syntax OK) or return code not equal  to  0
                   (Syntax Error).

       -T          Same as option -t but does not check the configured document roots.

       -X          Run  in  single-process  mode,  for internal debugging purposes only; the daemon does not
                   detach from the terminal or fork any children. Do NOT use this mode to  provide  ordinary
                   web service.

       -v          Print the version of httpd-1.3 , and then exit.

       -V          Print the version and build parameters of httpd-1.3 , and then exit.
