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/vbi0).

       -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.
