dbman - AccelNET database server
dbman <argument list>
This
is the AccelNET database server.
When it started it forks a copy of itself
and tells the child that it’s name is pgman. It’s the same program except
that it creates it’s own listener socket and makes to tcp connection to
the parent so as to insure that should the parent process die it will croak
also.
The parent copy of the program watches for the death of the child
via waitpid() and will croak if the child dies or is not created successfully.
Argument processing is done using Unix long argument syntax.
- --access_tbl
<fn>
The name of the access file. If not provided or the environment var is not
set access control is not enabled.
- --auth_tbl <fn>
The name of the authorization file. If not provided or the environment var
is not set the task exits.
- --size_tbl <fn>
The name of the database table size configuration file. If not provided
or the environment var is not set the default size database will be configured.
See tblmngr/MasterTbl.c for default size information.
- --reg_tbl_size <n>
The maximum number of file descriptors which can be serviced. Usually the
default value is ok.
- --no_daemon
If this argument is present stdout and stdin are left open, the program
may be killed by SIGINT, and the menu is active.
- --log_reg
If this argument is present then each time a registration operation is
performed diagnostics are printed to stderr.
- --log_disconnect=<n>
If this argument is present then each time a socket is disconnected diagnostics
are printed to stderr.
default: 0
valid values are:
0 - no logging
1 - log abnormal disconnects
2 - log all disconnects
If <n> is missing the value is set to: 1
- --log_sendrec=<n>
default: 0
This argument sets the value of SendRec()s verbosity argument
See the SendRec(3tcp)
man page for more information.
If <n> is missing the
value is set to: 1
- --log_recvrec=<n>
default: 0
This argument sets the value of RecvRec()s verbosity argument
See the RecvRec(3tcp)
man page for more information.
If <n> is missing the
value is set to: 1
- --help
Print the help message to stderr and exit.
If command
line arguments are present, they override the environment vars.
- ACCESS_FILE
the path name of the access file
- AUTH_FILE
the path name of the user authorization file
- AUTH_FILE_DEF
the path name of the default authorization file
- CONF
the contract name.
This is used to set the database name.
- DB_SIZE_FILE
the path name of the database sizing configuration file
- DB_LOG_FILE
the path name of dbman’s logging file.
- PG_LOG_FILE
the path name of dbman’s logging file.
- MASTER_TBL_ADDR
- If present this value
is used for the shared memory attachment address. If not, the value of segaddrDB
in memdef.h is used.
- MASTER_TBL_KEY
- If present this value is used for the
and the shared memory key. If not, the value of memkeyDB in memdef.h is used.
The
access file is used to limit which IP addresses may
be used to connect to dbman. The file may contain IP addresses or host names.
Each host which is allowed to connect must be specified separately in the
file. There is no provision for wildcarding, i.e. specifying entire networks.
If access control is enabled an entry for localhost is automatically created
and does not need to be placed in the file.
Comments may be added to the
file by placing a # on the line preceeding the beginning of the comment.
Comments end at the end of the line.
If the database partition already
exists the sizing information in the size configuration file is ignored
but must match the loaded database else pgman will fail.
