It accepts connections from clients, and forks a -program to handle each connection. -</p> - -<h2> Interface </h2> - -<pre> - s6-tcpserver4 [ -1 ] [ -v <em>verbosity</em> ] [ -c <em>maxconn</em> ] [ -C <em>localmaxconn</em> ] [ -b <em>backlog</em> ] [ -G <em>gidlist</em> ] [ -g <em>gid</em> ] [ -u <em>uid</em> ] [ -U ] <em>ip</em> <em>port</em> <em>prog...</em> -</pre> - -<ul> - <li> s6-tcpserver4 binds to local IPv4 address <em>ip</em>, -port <em>port</em>. </li> - <li> It closes its stdin and stdout. </li> - <li> For every TCP connection to this address and port, it -forks. The child sets some environment variables, then -executes <em>prog...</em> with stdin reading from the network -socket and stdout writing to it. </li> - <li> Depending on the verbosity level, it logs what it does to stderr. </li> - <li> It runs until killed by a signal. Depending on the received -signal, it may kill its children before exiting. </li> - <li> s6-tcpserver4 actually doesn't do any of this itself. It is -a wrapper, rewriting the command line and executing into a chain -of programs that perform those duties. </li> -</ul> - -<h2> Environment variables </h2> - -<p> - For each connection, an instance of <em>prog...</em> is spawned with -the following variables set: -</p> - -<ul> - <li> PROTO: always set to TCP </li> - <li> TCPREMOTEIP: set to the originating address </li> - <li> TCPREMOTEPORT: set to the originating port </li> - <li> TCPCONNNUM: set to the number of connections originating from -the same IP address </li> -</ul> - -<h2> Options </h2> - -<ul> - <li> <tt>-1</tt> : write <em>port</em> to stdout, before -closing it, right after binding and listening to the network socket. -If stdout is suitably redirected, this can be used by monitoring -programs to check when the server is ready to accept connections. </li> - <li> <tt>-v <em>verbosity</em></tt> : be more or less verbose. -By default, <em>verbosity</em> is 1: print warning messages to stderr. -0 means only print fatal error messages ; 2 means print status and -connection information for every client. </li> - <li> <tt>-c <em>maxconn</em></tt> : accept at most -<em>maxconn</em> concurrent connections. Default is 40. It is -impossible to set it higher than 1000. </li> - <li> <tt>-C <em>localmaxconn</em></tt> : accept at most -<em>localmaxconn</em> connections from the same IP address. -Default is 40. It is impossible to set it higher than <em>maxconn</em>. </li> - <li> <tt>-b <em>backlog</em></tt> : set a maximum of -<em>backlog</em> backlog connections on the socket. Extra -connection attempts will rejected by the kernel. </li> - <li> <tt>-G <em>gidlist</em></tt> : change s6-tcpserver4's -supplementary group list to <em>gidlist</em> after binding the socket. -This is only valid when run as root. <em>gidlist</em> must be a -comma-separated list of numerical group IDs. </li> - <li> <tt>-g <em>gid</em></tt> : change s6-tcpserver4's group id -to <em>gid</em> after binding the socket. This is only valid when run -as root. </li> - <li> <tt>-u <em>uid</em></tt> : change s6-tcpserver4's user id -to <em>uid</em> after binding the socket. This is only valid when run -as root. </li> - <li> <tt>-U</tt> : change s6-tcpserver4's user id, group id and -supplementary group list -according to the values of the UID, GID and GIDLIST environment variables -after binding the socket. This is only valid when run as root. -This can be used with the -<a href="//skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-envuidgid.html">s6-envuidgid</a> -program to easily script a service that binds to a privileged socket -then drops its privileges to those of a named non-root account. </li> -</ul> - -<h2> Signals </h2> - -<ul> - <li> SIGTERM: exit. </li> - <li> SIGHUP: send a SIGTERM and a SIGCONT to all children. </li> - <li> SIGQUIT: send a SIGTERM and a SIGCONT to all children, then exit. </li> - <li> SIGABRT: send a SIGKILL to all children, then exit. </li> -</ul> - -<h2> Notes </h2> - -<ul> - <li> Unlike its ancestor -<a href="https://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html">tcpserver</a>, -s6-tcpserver4 performs just the bare minimum: the point is to have a -very small and very fast process to serve connections with the least -possible overhead. Features such as additional environment variables, -access control and DNS resolution are provided -via the <a href="s6-tcpserver-access.html">s6-tcpserver-access</a> -program. </li> - <li> In previous releases of s6-networking, s6-tcpserver4 was -monolithic: it did the work of -<a href="s6-tcpserver4-socketbinder.html">s6-tcpserver4-socketbinder</a>, -<a href="//skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-applyuidgid.html">s6-applyuidgid</a> and -<a href="s6-tcpserver4d.html">s6-tcpserver4d</a> itself. The functionality has now -been split into several different programs because some service startup -schemes require the daemon to get its socket from an external -program instead of creating and binding it itself. The most obvious -application of this is upgrading a long-lived process without -losing existing connections. </li> -</ul> - -</body> -</html> |
