NAME

       cannaserver - Kana-Kanji conversion server

SYNOPSIS

       cannaserver [-d] [-u userid] [-inet] [-inet6] [-l n] [-syslog] [-p num] [ddpath]

DESCRIPTION

       cannaserver(1)  provides  the  Kana-Kanji conversion service.  Most commonly this daemon starts at daemon
       bootup framework like /etc/rc depending on your system, so you do not usually start it up manually.

       By default, cannaserver(1) only accepts connections from clients at the same host  where  the  server  is
       running  (via  UNIX  domain socket).  You can make it accessible from other hosts via TCP by using option
       -inet (or -inet6). Whether you use this option or not, you can get access control based on user and  host
       using /etc/hosts.canna.

       cannaserver(1)  immediately  forks  and gets into the background after it starts.  You do not need to use
       '&' explicitly to make it run in the background.

       When it starts, cannaserver(1) creates the UNIX domain socket /tmp/.iroha_unix/IROHA[:num] to communicate
       clients.  The socket is deleted automatically if cannaserver(1)  terminates  normally.   The  socket  may
       exist  while  cannaserver(1) is not running (because, for example, cannaserver(1) terminated abnormally).
       In this case, delete the file manually or you cannot start it.

       /var/lib/canna/dic/*/dics.dir includes the list of dictionaries which are  available  to  clients.  Users
       (i.e. clients) can choose which to use and specify them in ~/.canna.

OPTIONS

       ddpath      Specifies the directory that contains dictionaries.

       -inet       This option lets cannaserver(1) accept connections from remote hosts using inet domain socket
                   (IPv4).   By  default,  the cannaserver(1) uses only UNIX domain socket, i.e. only clients in
                   your local machine can connect to the server.

       -inet6      Enable IPv6. If this option is used solely, IPv4 access is disabled.  If you want to use IPv4
                   at the same time, use both -inet and -inet6.

       -l n        Outputs the cannaserver(1) log to /tmp/canna.log.  n (1 to 5) specifies the log level.

       -d          Starts cannaserver(1) in debug mode.  It is executed as the foreground process.  Log data  at
                   log level 5 is output to the standard output.

       -u userid   Specifies which user cannaserver(1) runs as.  By default, cannaserver(1) runs as the user who
                   started cannaserver(1).

       -syslog     Outputs the cannaserver(1) log to syslogd(8). If you specify this option, logs are not output
                   to /var/log/canna/CANNA?msgs.

       -p num      By  this  option  cannaserver(1)  uses the port number 5680 + num. The default port number is
                   5680. This option also has an effect on the filename of the socket  and  the  log  file.  See
                   below.

FILES

       /tmp/.iroha_unix/IROHA[:num]
               Socket. [:num] part is added only when you specify -p.

       /var/lib/canna/dic/*/dics.dir
               Dictionary directory

       /etc/hosts.canna
               Access control file

       /var/log/canna/CANNA?msgs
               Log  file.  "?"  is  replaced  with num specified with -p, and defaults to 0 without -p num.  Log
               messages are not output to this file when -syslog is specified.
