DESCRIPTION

kamailio or SIP Router is a very fast and configurable SIP proxy.

OPTIONS

-h

Displays a short usage description, including all available options.

-c

Checks the config file and displays the aliases and listen interface list.

-r

Uses dns to check if it is necessary to add a "received=" field to a via.

-R

Same as -r but uses reverse dns.

-K

Turns on via host checking when forwarding replies.

-d

Turns on debugging, multiple -d increase the debug level.

-D

Control how daemonize is done:
-D - do not fork (almost) anyway (run in foreground, doesn't fork into daemon mode);
-DD - do not daemonize creator (main process is not daemonized);
-DDD - daemonize (default)

-E

Sends all the log messages to stderr.

-T

Disables TCP support.

-V

Displays the version number.

-I

Displays details of internal constants and attributes.

-f config-file

Reads the configuration from config-file (default /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg ).

-l address

Listens on the specified address/interface. Multiple -l mean listening on multiple addresses. The address format is [proto:]address[:port], where proto = udp|tcp and address = host|ip_address|interface_name. Example: -l localhost, -l udp:127.0.0.1:5080, -l eth0:5062. The default behaviour is to listen on all the ipv4 interfaces.

-n processes-no

Specifies the number of children processes forked per interface (default 8).

-N tcp processes-no

Specifies the number of children processes forked to handle tcp incoming connections (by default is equal to -n ).

-b max_rcv_buf_size

Maximum receive buffer size which will not be exceeded by the auto-probing procedure even if the OS allows.

-m shared_mem_size

Size of the shared memory which will be allocated (in Megabytes).

-M private_mem_size

Size of the private memory which will be allocated per process (in Megabytes).

-w working-dir

Specifies the working directory. In the very improbable event that kamailio will crash, the core file will be generated here.

-t chroot-dir

Forces kamailio to chroot after reading the config file.

-u uid

Changes the user id under which kamailio runs.

-g gid

Changes the group id under which kamailio runs.

-P pid-file

Creates a file containing the pid of the main kamailio process.

-G pgid-file

Creates a file containing the pgid of the main kamailio process.

-L modules-dir

Specifies the directory where to look for kamailio modules (default: /usr/lib/kamailio/modules)

-a auto-aliases-mode

Enable auto-aliases with 'yes' or 'on', disable with 'no' or 'off

-A pre-processor-define

Add config pre-processor define (e.g., -A WITH_AUTH, -A N=1, -A X='"Y"')
