NAME

nmserver − Mach network server

SYNOPSIS

nmserver [ -c ] [ -t ] [ -p print_level ]

DESCRIPTION

The network server is the program responsible for forwarding Mach IPC over the network.  Currently, it also implements a simple network name service.  The network server should be started once and for all at boot time.  It is shared by all users of the machine. 

OPTIONS

-c enables debugging in the cthreads library. 
 
-t enables procedure call tracing, if the executable was compiled with this facility turned on. 
 
-p is used to set the level of debugging messages printed on the console.  Possible values for print_level are 5, 3, and 0, which correspond to LS_PRINT_NEVER, LS_PRINT_LOG, and LS_PRINT_ALWAYS respectively.  The debugging messages become more verbose as the value changes from LS_PRINT_NEVER to LS_PRINT_ALWAYS.
