From 4ef59c7e5e49a21fdad0c3d6e3d78bf717c0e7e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2016 09:33:34 +0000 Subject: doc: switch to perlpod (from pandoc-flavored Markdown) pod2man(1) and pod2text(1) are already installed on most modern GNU/Linix systems including Debian and RedHat-based systems; pandoc(1) and Haskell are not, and we do not wish to waste precious bandwidth and disk space of potential packagers. perlpod(1) is also better standardized than any Markdown flavor, especially when it comes to generating manpages. Finally, I'm mildly proficient at Perl (it is similar to Ruby) and can poke around at the source if I encounter breakage. --- Documentation/yahns.pod | 97 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 97 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/yahns.pod (limited to 'Documentation/yahns.pod') diff --git a/Documentation/yahns.pod b/Documentation/yahns.pod new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bad468e --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/yahns.pod @@ -0,0 +1,97 @@ +% yahns(1) yahns user manual + +=head1 NAME + +yahns - multi-threaded, non-blocking application server for Ruby + +=head1 SYNOPSYS + +yahns -c CONFIG_FILE [-D|--daemonize] + +=head1 DESCRIPTION + +L is the primary interface for launching a yahns application +server. The configuration file is documented in L. +yahns hosts Rack HTTP applications, but may support others in the +future such as DRb. + +=head1 SIGNALS + +The following UNIX signals may be sent to the running yahns process. +If yahns is configured for worker_processes (optional), signals should +only be sent to the master process. + +=over + +=item INT/TERM/QUIT + +Graceful shutdown.

However, +environment variables such as RACK_ENV and RAILS_ENV can affect Rack and +Rails applications it hosts. Ruby and C library implementation-specific +environment variables will also affect it. + +yahns will update the PWD (current working directory) env if the +working_directory directive is set (see L). + +LISTEN_FDS and LISTEN_PID variables are used in our emulation +of L function.
