SYNOPSIS

netserver [-4] [-6] [-d] [-h] [-L name,family] [-p portnum] [-v verbosity] [-V]

Use AF_INET6 (aka IPv6) addressing for the control and possibly data connections.

-d

Increase the quantity of debugging output displayed during a test (possibly at the expense of performance).

-p portnum

Listen on the specified port. This is used when running as a standalone daemon.
