SYNOPSIS

9       alevtd [ options ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       alevtd  is  http  daemon which serves videotext pages as HTML.  Tune in
13       some station with a utility like v4lctl or some TV  application.   Then
14       start it and point your browser to http://localhost:5654/
15
16       Pages   may   be   requested   either  in  HTML  format  (http://local‐
17       host:5654/<page>/ or http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.html) or in
18       ASCII  text  format (http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.txt).  Sub‐
19       page "00" can be used for pages without subpages.

22       -h     print a short help text and the default values for all options.
23

27
28       -s     Write a start/stop notice and  serious  errors  to  the  syslog.
29              Specify  this  option twice to get a verbose log (additional log
30              events like dropped connections).
31
32       -t sec set network timeout to >sec< seconds.
33
34       -c n   set the number of allowed parallel connections to >n<.  This  is
35              a per-thread limit.

40       -n hostname
41              set the hostname which the server should use (required for redi‐

44       -i ip  bind to IP-address >ip<.

49              below).
50
