40 provides an Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) interface to the Unix file system\&. It is normally started at boot time by
43 @pkgconfdir@/afp\&.conf
44 is the configuration file used by
46 to determine the behavior and configuration of a file server\&.
51 Specifies that the daemon should not fork\&.
56 Print version information and exit\&.
61 Print verbose information and exit\&.
66 Print help and exit\&.
71 Specifies the configuration file to use\&. (Defaults to
72 @pkgconfdir@/afp\&.conf\&.)
76 To shut down a user\*(Aqs
78 process it is recommended that
81 be used, except as a last resort, as this may leave the CNID database in an inconsistent state\&. The safe way to terminate an
85 signal and wait for it to die on its own\&.
87 SIGTERM and SIGUSR1 signals that are sent to the main
89 process are propagated to the children, so all will be affected\&.
93 Clean exit\&. Propagates from master to childs\&.
98 Send this to the master
99 \fBafpd\fR, it will exit leaving all children running! Can be used to implement AFP service without downtime\&.
106 to afpd will cause it to reload its configuration files\&.
117 logging for this process\&. The log is sent to the file
118 /tmp/afpd\&.PID\&.XXXXXX\&. Sending another
120 will revert to the original log settings\&.
127 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\&.
134 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
