👑 okay so let's decode all of that, one flag at a time 👑

• -d, --debug — force debug mode. no vibes-based guessing, you're turning it ON 💅
• -f, --fork — every single request gets handled in a new process. very "one task at a time, main character" energy. defaults to false.
• --help — shows you this exact help text and then exits. it's giving "here's the menu, bye" 🎀
• -h, --host — the host. defaults to all, so it's not picky, it loves everyone 🫶
• -p, --port — the port. defaults to 3000. iconic number fr fr.
• -k, --keepalive — turns on keep-alive connections ✨
• -r, --restart — restarts whenever files get modified. defaults to false. the self-care of dev servers, honestly 💖
• --rd, --restart_delay — the delay between file checks. > heads up: this one is ignored if you have Linux::Inotify2 installed — it just doesn't need it, no cap.
• --rr, --restart_regex — a regex that matches the files which trigger a restart when they get modified. defaults to '\.yml$|\.yaml$|\.conf|\.pm$' 🌈
• --rdir, --restart_directory — the directory it searches for modified files. you can set this multiple times, stack them like scrunchies. defaults to '[SCRIPT_DIR]/..' 🦋
• --sym, --follow_symlinks — follow symlinks in the search directories. defaults to false. this is a no-op on Win32, so on Windows it literally does nothing, don't come for me 💀
• --bg, --background — runs the process in the background, sneaky little icon 🙈
• --pid, --pidfile — lets you specify the filename for the pid file 🍓
