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

       output compression, URL rewriting.

       This manual page only lists the command line arguments.  For details on how  to  configure
