NAME
       beastalkd - A simple, fast work queue.

SYNOPSIS
       beanstalkd [options]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page documents briefly the beanstalkd work-queue service.  The beanstalk interface is generic, but was originally designed for
       reducing the latency of page views in high-volume web applications by running time-consuming tasks asynchronously.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below.

       -b <dir>
	      Use a binlog to keep jobs on persistent storage in <dir>. Upon startup, beanstalkd will recover any binlog that is present in <dir>,
	      then, during normal operation, append new jobs and changes in state to the binlog.

       -d     Detach and run beanstalkd as a daemon.

       -f <ms>
	      Call  fsync(2) at most once every <ms> milliseconds. This will recuce disk activity and improve speed at the cost of safety. A power
	      failure could result in the loss of up to <ms> milliseconds of history.

	      A <ms> value of 0 will cause beanstalkd to call fsync every time it writes to the binlog.

	      This option has no effect without the -b option.

       -F     Never call fsync(2) function. This is like -f with a <ms> value of infinity.

	      This option has no effect without the -b option.

       -h     Show the command line help and summary of options.

       -l <addr>
	      Listen on address <addr> (default is 0.0.0.0)

       -p <port>
	      Listen on TCP port <port> (default is 11300).

       -s <bytes>
	      The maximum size in bytes of each binlog file.

	      This option has no effect without the -b option.

       -u <user>
	      Become the user <user> and its primary group.

       -z <bytes>
	      The maximum size in bytes of a job.
