31 provides an Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) interface to the Unix file system\&. It is normally started at boot time from /etc/rc\&.
33 The list of volumes offered to the user is generated from
34 :ETCDIR:/AppleVolumes\&.system
36 :ETCDIR:/AppleVolumes\&.default,
38 ~/\&.AppleVolumes\&. The
40 files is used to specify volumes to mount and file name extension mappings\&. It is formatted as follows, one specification per line: pathname [ volumename ] \&.extension [ type [ creator ] ] If volumename is unspecified, the last component of pathname is used\&. No two volumes may have the same name\&. The extension \'\&.\' sets the default creator and type for otherwise untyped Unix files\&. Blank lines and lines beginning with `#\' are ignored\&.
46 Specifies that the daemon should not fork\&. If netatalk has been configured with
47 \fI\-\-enable\-debug1\fR, a trace of all AFP commands will be written to stdout\&.
52 Prevents clients from saving their passwords\&. (Equivalent to \-\fBnosavepasswd\fR
59 Allows clients to change their passwords\&. (Equivalent to
67 Use DDP (AppleTalk) as transport protocol\&. (Equivalent to
75 Use TCP/IP as transport protocol\&. (Equivalent to
83 Print version information and exit\&.
88 Print verbose information and exit\&.
93 Print help and exit\&.
98 Use a platform specific icon\&. (Equivalent to
101 afpd\&.conf\&.) (Recent Mac OS don\'t display it\&.)
104 \-f \fIdefaultvolumes\fR
108 should be read for a list of default volumes to offer, instead of
109 :ETCDIR:/AppleVolumes\&.default\&.
112 \-s \fIsystemvolumes\fR
116 should be read for a list of volume that all users will be offered, instead of
117 :ETCDIR:/AppleVolumes\&.system\&.
124 file first\&. This option causes volume names in the user\'s
126 file to override volume names in the system\'s
128 file\&. The default is to read the system
130 file first\&. Note that this option doesn\'t effect the precendence of filename extension mappings: the user\'s
132 file always has precedence\&.
139 should be used for NBP registration, instead of the first component of the hostname in the local zone\&.
142 \-c \fImaxconnections\fR
144 Specifies the maximum number of connections to allow for this
145 \fBafpd\fR\&. The default is 20\&.
150 Specifies the name of the guest account\&. The default is \'\fInobody\fR\'\&.
155 Specifies the file in which
157 stores its process id\&.
162 Specifies the port to register with when doing AFPoverTCP\&. Defaults to 548\&. (Equivalent to
169 Specifies the login message that will be sent to clients\&. (Equivalent to
177 Specifies the configuration file to use\&. (Defaults to
178 :ETCDIR:/netatalk/afpd\&.conf\&.)
183 Comma\-separated list of UAMs to use for the authentication process\&. (Equivalent to
193 for the creation of folders in Netatalk\&.
197 Signals that are sent to the main
199 process are propagated to the children, so all will be affected\&.
205 to afpd will cause it to reload its configuration files\&.
216 logging for this process\&. The log is sent to fhe file
217 /tmp/afpd\&.PID\&.XXXXXX\&. Sending another
219 will terminate the process\&.
226 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\&.
233 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
236 To shut down a user\'s
238 process it is recommended that
241 be used, except as a last resort, as this may leave the CNID database in an inconsistent state\&. The safe way to terminate an
245 signal and wait for it to die on its own\&.
249 :ETCDIR:/AppleVolumes\&.default
251 list of default volumes to mount
254 :ETCDIR:/AppleVolumes\&.system
256 list of volumes to offer all users
259 ~/AppleVolumes, ~/\&.AppleVolumes
261 user\'s list of volumes to mount
264 :ETCDIR:/netatalk/msg/message\&.pid
266 contains messages to be sent to users\&.
