SYNOPSIS
danted

The options are as follows:
-D
Dante
will detach from the controlling terminal and run in
the background as a system daemon.

will fork of
number
copies of itself when starting. Can be used for very busy servers.

-ffile
Dante
will read its configuration from
file.

enables TCP keep-alive messages so that connections from machines that
have crashed or for other reasons no longer can be reached time out.
-v

ENVIRONMENT
TMPDIR
Use
TMPDIR
for temporary files. Since
Dante
uses lockfiles it is recommended that

be set to a (local) filesystem with low latency.
