NAME

       alevtd - webserver for videotext pages

SYNOPSIS

       alevtd [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       alevtd  is  http  daemon which serves videotext pages as HTML.  Tune in
       some station with a utility like v4lctl or some TV  application.   Then
       start it and point your browser to http://localhost:5654/

       Pages     may     be     requested     either     in     HTML    format
       (http://localhost:5654/<page>/                                       or
       http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.html)  or  in  ASCII text format
       (http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.txt).  Subpage "00" can be used
       for pages without subpages.

OPTIONS

       -h     print  a short help text and the default values for all options.

       -v dev set vbi device (default: /dev/vbi).

       -d     enable debug output.

       -s     Write a start/stop notice and  serious  errors  to  the  syslog.
              Specify  this  option twice to get a verbose log (additional log
              events like dropped connections).

       -t sec set network timeout to >sec< seconds.

       -c n   set the number of allowed parallel connections to >n<.  This  is
              a per-thread limit.

       -p port
              listen on port >port< for incoming connections.  Default 5654.

       -n hostname
              set  the  hostname  which  the  server  should use (required for
              redirects).

       -i ip  bind to IP-address >ip<.

       -l log log all requests to  the  logfile  >log<  (common  log  format).
              Using  "-"  as  filename  makes  alevtd  print the access log to
              stdout, which is only useful together with the  -F  switch  (see
              below).

       -L log same  as  above, but additional flush every line.  Useful if you
              want monitor the logfile with tail -f.

       -u user
              set uid to >user< (after binding to the tcp port).  This  option
              is allowed for root only.

       -g group
              set gid to >group< (after binding to the tcp port).  This option
              is allowed for root only.

       -F     don’t run as daemon.  alevtd will not fork into background,  not
              detach from terminal and report errors to stderr.

       -r     poll  tv  frequency,  clear vtx page cache if a frequency change
              was detected.
