💅 LEIL-CGISERVER(8) — the leil-cgiserver manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is the page for leil-cgiserver, living in section 8 of the manual (that's the sysadmin-tools girlies section, iykyk). she's small, she's simple, she serves HTTP and runs CGI scripts for LeilFS monitoring, and honestly? she ate. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

leil-cgiserver — a very simple HTTP/CGI server for LeilFS monitoring. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

leil-cgiserver [-H BIND-HOST] [-P BIND-PORT] [-R ROOT-PATH] [-v]

leil-cgiserver -h

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so leil-cgiserver is, like, the simplest little HTTP server ever, and she's capable of running CGI scripts for LeilFS monitoring. that's her whole personality and she's thriving.

she just runs in the foreground, bestie — like literally just sits there in your terminal being a main character — and she works until someone kills her with, for example, SIGINT or SIGTERM. rude, but okay. 💀

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • -h — prints the usage information and then exits. she'll tell you how to use her and then dip. iconic. 👑
  • -H BIND_HOST — the local address to listen on (default: any). so you can be like "listen here specifically" and she will. 🫶
  • -P BIND_PORT — the port to listen on (default: 9425). that's her number. that's the port. periodt. 💅
  • -R ROOT_PATH — the local path to use as the HTTP document root (default is CGIDIR, which gets set up at configure time). she needs to know where the files live, okay? 🍓
  • -v — log requests on stderr. so she'll narrate what she's doing, out loud, on stderr, which is honestly so her. ✨
