ipsvd - internet protocol service daemons
- Description:
ipsvd is a set of internet protocol service daemons. It currently includes
a TCP/IP service daemon, and a UDP/IP service daemon.
An internet protocol service (ipsv) daemon waits for incoming
connections on a local socket. On incoming connections, the ipsv daemon
conditionally runs an arbitrary program with standard input reading from
the socket, and standard output writing to the socket, that handles the
connection. The network connection optionally can be encrypted using SSLv3.
Standard error is used for logging.
ipsv daemons can be told to read and follow pre-defined instructions
on how to handle incoming connections. It's possible to run different
programs, or to set a different environment, or to deny a connection,
or to set a per host concurrency limit, depending on the client's address
or hostname.
Normally the ipsv daemons are run by a supervisor process, such as runsv
from the runit package, or supervise from the daemontools package.
ipsvd can be used to run services normally run by inetd, xinetd, or tcpserver.
