6 proofserv - PROOF (The Parallel ROOT Facility)
7
9 Using PROOF (The Parallel ROOT Facility) one can analyze trees in par‐
10 allel on a cluster of computers. The PROOF system consists also of the
11 xproofd(1) daemon.
12
13 xproofd takes care of user authentication and overlays itself then with
14 the desired version of the proofserv(1) executable.
15
16 The proofserv(1) is a basically the same as the ROOT interactive module
17 root(1), except that it reads its commands from a socket instead of
18 from the terminal.
19
20 Since it is a remote server it will not do graphics and therefore is
21 not linked with any graphics libraries (Motif, X11, etc.).
22
23 proofserv is started by the daemon proofd(1) on request by the user.
24 It is not a command to be executed by the user directly.
25
26 Note, that if proofserv is passed any arguments, it will use the
27 libProofx interface, rather than the standard libProof interface.
