inetd(8c)inetd(8c)Name
inetd - internet service daemon
Syntax
/etc/inetd [ -d ] [ configfile ]
Description
The daemon is the listener daemon for most of the internet service functions.
When is started, it reads the configuration file specified (configfile) and opens a socket for each specified service.
When receives a connection on a stream socket or a packet on a datagram socket, then invokes the server specified in the configuration file
to service the request. The server is given a socket descriptor of 0 for the service requested. The configfile is the configuration file
specifying the services requiring the daemon's services. If a configuration file is not specified, then uses the default file, The format
of this file is described in The configuration file is reread whenever receives a hangup signal.
Options-d Open all sockets with the debug option. The socket will be passed to the server with debug enabled.
Restrictions
The daemon can only handle a limited number of services at any one time. This number is related to the maximum number of file descriptors
that a process can have. If many services are needed, you should run multiple copies of each with its own individual configuration file.
