31 provides an Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) interface to the Unix file system\&. It is normally started at boot time by
35 is the configuration file used by
37 to determine the behavior and configuration of a file server\&.
42 Specifies that the daemon should not fork\&.
47 Print version information and exit\&.
52 Print verbose information and exit\&.
57 Print help and exit\&.
62 Specifies the configuration file to use\&. (Defaults to
63 :ETCDIR:/afp\&.conf\&.)
67 To shut down a user\'s
69 process it is recommended that
72 be used, except as a last resort, as this may leave the CNID database in an inconsistent state\&. The safe way to terminate an
76 signal and wait for it to die on its own\&.
78 SIGTERM and SIGUSR1 signals that are sent to the main
80 process are propagated to the children, so all will be affected\&.
84 Clean exit\&. Propagates from master to childs\&.
89 Send this to the master
90 \fBafpd\fR, it will exit leaving all children running! Can be used to implement AFP service without downtime\&.
97 to afpd will cause it to reload its configuration files\&.
108 logging for this process\&. The log is sent to fhe file
109 /tmp/afpd\&.PID\&.XXXXXX\&. Sending another
111 will revert to the original log settings\&.
118 process will send the message "The server is going down for maintenance\&." to the client and shut itself down in 5 minutes\&. New connections are not allowed\&. If this is sent to a child afpd, the other children are not affected\&. However, the main process will still exit, disabling all new connections\&.
125 process will look in the message directory configured at build time for a file named message\&.pid\&. For each one found, a the contents will be sent as a message to the associated AFP client\&. The file is removed after the message is sent\&. This should only be sent to a child
