beanstalkd(1) -- simple, fast work queue
========================================
## SYNOPSIS
`beanstalkd` [<options>]
## DESCRIPTION
`Beanstalkd` 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.
When started, `beanstalkd` opens a socket (or uses a file descriptor
provided by the init(1) system, see [ENVIRONMENT][]) 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 `doc/protocol.txt` in the
`beanstalkd` distribution for a thorough description of the meaning
and format of the `beanstalkd` protocol.
## OPTIONS
* `-b` <path>:
Use a binlog to keep jobs on persistent storage in directory <path>.
Upon startup, `beanstalkd` will recover any binlog that is present
in <path>, then, during normal operation, append new jobs and
changes in state to the binlog.
* `-f` <ms>:
Call fsync(2) at most once every <ms> milliseconds. Larger values
for <ms> reduce disk activity and improve speed at the cost of
safety. A power failure could result in the loss of up to <ms>
milliseconds of history.
A <ms> value of 0 will cause `beanstalkd` to call fsync every time
it writes to the binlog.
The default behavior is to sync every 50 ms.
(This option has no effect without `-b`.)
* `-F`:
Never call fsync(2). Equivalent to `-f` with an infinite <ms> value.
(This option has no effect without `-b`.)
* `-h`:
Show a brief help message and exit.
* `-l` <addr>:
Listen on address <addr> (default is 0.0.0.0).
When <addr> 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 `-p` will be ignored.
(Option `-l` has no effect if sd-daemon(5) socket activation is
being used. See also [ENVIRONMENT][].)
* `-p` <port>:
Listen on TCP port <port> (default is 11300).
(Option `-p` has no effect if sd-daemon(5) socket activation is
being used. See also [ENVIRONMENT][].)
* `-s` <bytes>:
The size in bytes of each binlog file.
(This option has no effect without `-b`.)
* `-u` <user>:
Become the user <user> and its primary group.
* `-V`:
Increase verbosity. May be used more than once to produce more
verbose output. The output format is subject to change.
* `-v`:
Print the version string and exit.
* `-z` <bytes>:
The maximum size in bytes of a job.
* `-c`:
This flag has no effect. It is kept for historical compatibility only.
* `-n`:
This flag has no effect. It is kept for historical compatibility only.
## ENVIRONMENT
* `LISTEN_PID`, `LISTEN_FDS`:
These variables can be set by init(1). See sd_listen_fds(3) for
details.
