The bifernod daemon implements the Biferno web application programming language under Unix. The Biferno language is a new generation Web object-oriented scripting language that allows developers the rapid implementation of dynamic Web applications and of Web sites offering a high degree of user interactivity.
When started from the command line, bifernod will fork a
copy of itself to run in the background as a daemon (unless invoked with the
-i option, see Options). The
daemon will wait for an input page to be received from the Web server via
the Biferno plug-in. When an input page is received,
bifernod will process the input page and return the
corresponding output page to the Web server via the the Biferno plug-in.
-vPrint the version of the Biferno daemon and exit.
-iStarts bifernod in interactive mode. This prevents the daemon from running in the background. This option is meant to be used to debug startup problems, usually due to misconfiguration. When bifernod runs in interactive mode, it can be stopped by typing Ctrl-c.
-f script_file
Start bifernod, run the
script_file Biferno script and quit.
-pStart bifernod, read commands from standard input and quit.
