.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBafpd\fR
provides an Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) interface to the Unix file system\&. It is normally started at boot time by
\fBnetatalk\fR(8)\&.
.PP
@pkgconfdir@/afp\&.conf
is the configuration file used by
\fBafpd\fR
to determine the behavior and configuration of a file server\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-d
.RS 4
Specifies that the daemon should not fork\&.
.RE
.PP
\-v
.RS 4
Print version information and exit\&.
.RE
.PP
\-V
.RS 4
Print verbose information and exit\&.
.RE
.PP
\-h
.RS 4
Print help and exit\&.
.RE
.PP
\-F \fIconfigfile\fR
.RS 4
Specifies the configuration file to use\&. (Defaults to
@pkgconfdir@/afp\&.conf\&.)
.RE
.SH "SIGNALS"
.PP
To shut down a user\*(Aqs
\fBafpd\fR
process it is recommended that
\fBSIGKILL (\-9)\fR
\fINOT\fR
be used, except as a last resort, as this may leave the CNID database in an inconsistent state\&. The safe way to terminate an
\fBafpd\fR
is to send it a
\fBSIGTERM (\-15)\fR
signal and wait for it to die on its own\&.
.PP
SIGTERM and SIGUSR1 signals that are sent to the main
\fBafpd\fR
process are propagated to the children, so all will be affected\&.
.PP
SIGTERM
.RS 4
Clean exit\&. Propagates from master to childs\&.
.RE
.PP
SIGQUIT
.RS 4
Send this to the master
\fBafpd\fR, it will exit leaving all children running! Can be used to implement AFP service without downtime\&.
.RE
.PP
SIGHUP
.RS 4
Sending a
\fBSIGHUP\fR
to afpd will cause it to reload its configuration files\&.
.RE
.PP
SIGINT
.RS 4
Sending a
\fBSIGINT\fR
to a child
\fBafpd\fR
enables
\fImax_debug\fR
logging for this process\&. The log is sent to the file
/tmp/afpd\&.PID\&.XXXXXX\&. Sending another
\fBSIGINT\fR
will revert to the original log settings\&.
.RE
.PP
SIGUSR1
.RS 4
The
\fBafpd\fR
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\&.
.RE
.PP
SIGUSR2
.RS 4
The
\fBafpd\fR
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
\fBafpd\fR\&.
.RE
.SH "FILES"
.PP
@pkgconfdir@/afp\&.conf
.RS 4
configuration file used by afpd
.RE
.PP
@localstatedir@/netatalk/afp_signature\&.conf
.RS 4
