DESCRIPTION
Sphinx is a collection of programs that aim to provide high quality
fulltext search. searchd answers search requests coming in on a socket.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has
documentation in HTML format, see below.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options is
included below. For a complete description, see the HTML
documentation.
--config Specify an alternate configuration file to use.
--cpustats
Provide per-query CPU stats in searchd log.
--iostats Provide per-query I/O stats in searchd log.
-h --help

--pidfile Used with --status and --stop to find the correct searchd.
--status Print status variables of a running searchd.
--stop Send SIGTERM to a running searchd.
