NAME

6       proofserv - PROOF (The Parallel ROOT Facility)
7

DESCRIPTION

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.
