OPTIONS

       -A <cmdlist>, --admin <cmdlist>
              space separated list of allowed admin commands.  An exclamation-mark before a command disables it.

       -c <path>, --chroot <path>
              change system root - jails server to this path

       -C <frames>
              set initial frame-cache size (default: 128)

       -D, --daemonize
              fork into background and detach from TTY

       -g <name>, --groupname <name>
              assume this user-group

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       -F <feat>, --features <feat>
              space  separated  list  of  optional features.  An exclamation-mark before a features disables it.
              default: 'index'; available: index, seek, flatindex, keepraw

       -l <path>, --logfile <path>
              specify file for log messages

       -M, --memlock
              attempt to lock memory (prevent cache paging)

       -p <num>, --port <num>
              TCP port to listen on (default 1554)

       -P <listenaddr>
              IP address to listen on (default 0.0.0.0)

       -q, --quiet, --silent
              inhibit usual output (may be used thrice)

       -s, --syslog
              send messages to syslog

       -t <thread-limit>
              set maximum decoder-threads (default: 8)

       -T <sec>, --timeout <secs>
              set a timeout after which the server will terminate if no new request arrives

       -u <name>, --username <name>
              server will act as this user

       -v, --verbose
              print more information (may be used twice)

       -V, --version
              print version information and exit

       The default document-root (if unspecified) is the system root: / or C:\.

       If both syslog and logfile are given that last specified option will be used.

       --verbose and --quiet are additive. The default is to print warnings and above only. Available log-levels
       are 'mute', 'critical, 'error', 'warning' and 'info'.

       The --features option allows to enable and disable http-handlers  /seek  and  /index  as  well  as  tweak
       related behaviour. The 'flatindex' option concerns /index&flatindex=1 which recursively indexes all video
       file.  It is disabled by defaults since a recursive search of the default docroot / can takes a very long
       time.  When requesting png or jpeg images harvid decodes a raw RGB frame and then encodes  it  again.  If
       'keepraw'  feature  is  enabled,  both the raw RGB and encoded image are kept in cache. The default is to
       invaldate the RGB frame after encoding the image.

EXAMPLES

       harvid -A '!flush_cache purge_cache shutdown' -C 256 /tmp/

       sudo harvid -c /tmp/ -u nobody -g nogroup /
