DESCRIPTION

       ser or Sip Express 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.

       -v	   Turns on via host checking when forwarding replies.

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

       -D	   Runs ser in the foreground (it doesn't fork into daemon mode).

       -E	   Sends all the log messages to stderr.

       -T	   Disables TCP support.

       -V	   Displays the version number.

       -f config-file
		   Reads the configuration from  config-file (default /etc/sfw/ser/ser.cfg ).

       -l address  Listens on the specified address. Multiple -l mean listening on multiple addresses. The default behaviour is to listen  on  all
		   the ipv4 interfaces.

       -p port	   Listens on the specified port (default 5060). It applies to the last address specified with -l and to all the following that do
		   not have a corresponding -p.

       -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).

       -w working-dir
		   Specifies the working directory. In the very improbable event that ser will crash, the core file will be generated here.

       -t chroot-dir
		   Forces ser to chroot after reading the config file.

       -u uid	   Changes the user id under which ser runs.

       -g gid	   Changes the group id under which ser runs.

       -P pid-file Creates a file containing the pid of the main ser process.

       -i fifo-path
		   Creates a fifo, usefull for monitoring ser status.
