| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | httrcall - Call transient ashd handlers | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| 547a4189 | 10 | *httrcall* [*-h*] [*-l* 'LIMIT'] 'PROGRAM' ['ARGS'...] |
| f7b4b93e FT |

| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | *httrcall* is a persistent handler, as defined in *ashd*(7), but works | |
| 16 | by starting a specified transient handler for every incoming | |
| 17 | request. Thus, it can be used to run transient handlers where normally | |
| 18 | only persistent handlers are accepted, such as for the program | |
| 19 | specified to *accesslog*(1), *htextauth*(1) or even *htparser*(1). | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | The transient handler to call is specified by the 'PROGRAM' | |
| 22 | argument. Any 'ARGS' given are prepended to the usual arguments for | |
| 23 | transient handlers, as described in *ashd*(7). | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | OPTIONS | |
| 26 | ------- | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | *-h*:: | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | Print a brief help message to standard output and exit. | |
| 31 | ||
| 547a4189 FT |
32 | *-l* 'LIMIT':: |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | If specified, only 'LIMIT' copies of the handler program are | |
| 7d1e14f4 | 35 | allowed to run at one time. If further request are received |
| 547a4189 | 36 | while 'LIMIT' children are running, *httrcall* will block, |
| e7f62088 | 37 | waiting for one to exit before processing further requests. If |
| 929e9146 FT |
38 | no *-l* option is specified (or specified as zero), *httrcall* |
| 39 | imposes no limit on the number of children that may run. | |
