</p>
<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2>

<p><code>beanstalkd</code> [<var>options</var>]</p>

<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p><code>Beanstalkd</code> is a simple work-queue service. Its interface is
generic, though it was originally designed for reducing the latency of
page views in high-volume web applications by running time-consuming
tasks asynchronously.</p>

<p>When started, <code>beanstalkd</code> opens a socket (or uses a file descriptor
provided by the <span class="man-ref">init<span class="s">(1)</span></span> system, see <a href="#ENVIRONMENT" title="ENVIRONMENT" data-bare-link="true">ENVIRONMENT</a>) and listens for
incoming connections. For each connection, it reads a sequence of
commands to create, reserve, delete, and otherwise manipulate "jobs",
units of work to be done. See file <code>doc/protocol.txt</code> in the
<code>beanstalkd</code> distribution for a thorough description of the meaning
and format of the <code>beanstalkd</code> protocol.</p>

<h2 id="OPTIONS">OPTIONS</h2>

<dl>
<dt>
<code>-b</code> <var>path</var>
</dt>
<dd>Use a binlog to keep jobs on persistent storage in directory <var>path</var>.
Upon startup, <code>beanstalkd</code> will recover any binlog that is present
in <var>path</var>, then, during normal operation, append new jobs and
changes in state to the binlog.</dd>
<dt>
<code>-f</code> <var>ms</var>
</dt>
<dd>Call <span class="man-ref">fsync<span class="s">(2)</span></span> at most once every <var>ms</var> milliseconds. Larger values
for <var>ms</var> reduce disk activity and improve speed at the cost of
safety. A power failure could result in the loss of up to <var>ms</var>
milliseconds of history.

<p>A <var>ms</var> value of 0 will cause <code>beanstalkd</code> to call fsync every time
it writes to the binlog.</p>

<p>The default behavior is to sync every 50 ms.</p>

<p>(This option has no effect without <code>-b</code>.)</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-F</code></dt>
<dd>Never call <span class="man-ref">fsync<span class="s">(2)</span></span>. Equivalent to <code>-f</code> with an infinite <var>ms</var> value.

<p>(This option has no effect without <code>-b</code>.)</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-h</code></dt>
<dd>Show a brief help message and exit.</dd>
<dt>
<code>-l</code> <var>addr</var>
</dt>
<dd>Listen on address <var>addr</var> (default is 0.0.0.0).

<p>When <var>addr</var> starts with "unix:", the unprefixed value of it will be
used as the local filesystem path to create a UNIX socket instead of
a TCP socket. In this case the value of <code>-p</code> will be ignored.</p>

<p>(Option <code>-l</code> has no effect if <span class="man-ref">sd-daemon<span class="s">(5)</span></span> socket activation is
being used. See also <a href="#ENVIRONMENT" title="ENVIRONMENT" data-bare-link="true">ENVIRONMENT</a>.)</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<code>-p</code> <var>port</var>
</dt>
<dd>Listen on TCP port <var>port</var> (default is 11300).

<p>(Option <code>-p</code> has no effect if <span class="man-ref">sd-daemon<span class="s">(5)</span></span> socket activation is
being used. See also <a href="#ENVIRONMENT" title="ENVIRONMENT" data-bare-link="true">ENVIRONMENT</a>.)</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<code>-s</code> <var>bytes</var>
</dt>
<dd>The size in bytes of each binlog file.

<p>(This option has no effect without <code>-b</code>.)</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<code>-u</code> <var>user</var>
</dt>
<dd>Become the user <var>user</var> and its primary group.</dd>
<dt><code>-V</code></dt>
<dd>Increase verbosity. May be used more than once to produce more
verbose output. The output format is subject to change.</dd>
<dt><code>-v</code></dt>
<dd>Print the version string and exit.</dd>
<dt>
<code>-z</code> <var>bytes</var>
</dt>
<dd>The maximum size in bytes of a job.</dd>
<dt><code>-c</code></dt>
<dd>This flag has no effect. It is kept for historical compatibility only.</dd>
<dt><code>-n</code></dt>
<dd>This flag has no effect. It is kept for historical compatibility only.</dd>
</dl>


<h2 id="ENVIRONMENT">ENVIRONMENT</h2>

<dl>
<dt>
<code>LISTEN_PID</code>, <code>LISTEN_FDS</code>
</dt>
<dd>These variables can be set by <span class="man-ref">init<span class="s">(1)</span></span>. See <span class="man-ref">sd_listen_fds<span class="s">(3)</span></span> for
details.</dd>
