DESCRIPTION

14       afpd provides an Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) interface to the Unix file
15       system. It is normally started at boot time by netatalk(8).
16
17       @pkgconfdir@/afp.conf is the configuration file used by afpd to
18       determine the behavior and configuration of a file server.
19

OPTIONS

21       -d
22           Specifies that the daemon should not fork.
23
24       -v
25           Print version information and exit.
26
27       -V
28           Print verbose information and exit.
29
30       -h
31           Print help and exit.
32
33       -F configfile
34           Specifies the configuration file to use. (Defaults to
35           @pkgconfdir@/afp.conf.)

SIGNALS

38       To shut down a user's afpd process it is recommended that SIGKILL (-9)
39       NOT be used, except as a last resort, as this may leave the CNID
40       database in an inconsistent state. The safe way to terminate an afpd is
41       to send it a SIGTERM (-15) signal and wait for it to die on its own.
42
43       SIGTERM and SIGUSR1 signals that are sent to the main afpd process are
44       propagated to the children, so all will be affected.
45
46       SIGTERM
47           Clean exit. Propagates from master to childs.
48
49       SIGQUIT
50           Send this to the master afpd, it will exit leaving all children
51           running! Can be used to implement AFP service without downtime.
52
53       SIGHUP
54           Sending a SIGHUP to afpd will cause it to reload its configuration
55           files.
56
57       SIGINT
58           Sending a SIGINT to a child afpd enables max_debug logging for this
59           process. The log is sent to the file /tmp/afpd.PID.XXXXXX. Sending
60           another SIGINT will revert to the original log settings.
61
62       SIGUSR1
63           The afpd process will send the message "The server is going down
64           for maintenance." to the client and shut itself down in 5 minutes.
65           New connections are not allowed. If this is sent to a child afpd,
66           the other children are not affected. However, the main process will
67           still exit, disabling all new connections.
68
69       SIGUSR2
70           The afpd process will look in the message directory configured at
71           build time for a file named message.pid. For each one found, a the
72           contents will be sent as a message to the associated AFP client.
73           The file is removed after the message is sent. This should only be
74           sent to a child afpd.
