       --progress, -p
	      Show progress information for plugin loading.

       --encrypted, -e

       --uid, -u <uid>
	      Application belongs to this uid, and should run with its permissions.

       --gid, -d <gid>
	      Application belongs to this gid, and should run with its permissions.

       --append, -a <file>
	      Append given servers to given file, instead of creating a new one.  File should be be a tap file.

       --appname, -n <name>
	      Use  the specified name as the process name when the application is run with twistd(1).  This option also causes some initialization
	      code to be duplicated when twistd(1) is run.

       --type, -t <type>
	      Specify the output file type. Available types are:

	      pickle - (default) Output as a python pickle file.
	      source - Output as a .tas (AOT Python source) file.

       apptype Can be 'web', 'portforward', 'toc', 'coil', 'words', 'manhole', 'im', 'news', 'socks', 'telnet', 'parent',  'sibling',  'ftp',  and
       'mail'. Each of those support different options.

portforward options
       -h, --host <host>
	      Proxy connections to <host>

       -d, --dest_port <port>
	      Proxy connections to <port> on remote host.

       -p, --port <port>
	      Listen locally on <port>

web options
       -u, --user
	      Makes a server with ~/public_html and ~/.twistd-web-pb support for users.

       --personal
	      Instead of generating a webserver, generate a ResourcePublisher which listens on ~/.twistd-web-pb

       --path <path>
	      <path>  is  either  a specific file or a directory to be set as the root of the web server. Use this if you have a directory full of
	      HTML, cgi, php3, epy, or rpy files or any other files that you want to be served up raw.

       -p, --port <port>
	      <port> is a number representing which port you want to start the server on.

       -m, --mime_type <mimetype>
	      <mimetype> is the default MIME type to use for files in a --path web server when none can be determined for a particular	extension.
	      The default is 'text/html'.

       --allow_ignore_ext
	      Specify whether or not a request for 'foo' should return 'foo.ext'.  Default is off.

       --ignore-ext .<extension>
	      Specify that a request for 'foo' should return 'foo.<extension>'.

       -t, --telnet <port>
	      Run a telnet server on <port>, for additional configuration later.

       -i, --index <name>
	      Use an index name other than "index.html"

       --https <port>
	      Port to listen on for Secure HTTP.

       -c, --certificate <filename>
	      SSL certificate to use for HTTPS. [default: server.pem]

       -k, --privkey <filename>
	      SSL certificate to use for HTTPS. [default: server.pem]

       --processor <ext>=<class name>
	      Adds a processor to those file names. (Only usable if after --path)

       --resource-script <script name>
	      Sets the root as a resource script. This script will be re-evaluated on every request.

       This  creates  a  web.tap file that can be used by twistd. If you specify no arguments, it will be a demo webserver that has the Test class
       from twisted.web.test in it.

toc options
       -p <port>
	      <port> is a number representing which port you want to start the server on.

mail options
       -r, --relay <ip>,<port>=<queue directory>
	      Relay mail to all unknown domains through given IP and port, using queue directory as temporary place to place files.

       -d, --domain <domain>=<path>
	      generate an SMTP/POP3 virtual maildir domain named "domain" which saves to "path"

       -u, --username <name>=<password>
	      add a user/password to the last specified domains

       -b, --bounce_to_postmaster
	      undelivered mails are sent to the postmaster, instead of being rejected.

       -p, --pop <port>
	      <port> is a number representing which port you want to start the pop3 server on.

       -s, --smtp <port>
	      <port> is a number representing which port you want to start the smtp server on.

       This creates a mail.tap file that can be used by twistd(1)

       -p, --port <port>
	      Run the telnet server on <port>

       -u, --username <name>

       -l, --log <filename>
	      log connection data to <filename>

ftp options
       -a, --anonymous
	      Allow anonymous logins
