+tcpsvd [-hpEvv] [-c n] [-C n:msg] [-b n] [-u user] [-l name] [-i dir|-x cdb] [ -t sec] host port prog
+
+tcpsvd creates a TCP/IP socket, binds it to the address host:port,
+and listens on the socket for incoming connections.
+
+On each incoming connection, tcpsvd conditionally runs a program,
+with standard input reading from the socket, and standard output
+writing to the socket, to handle this connection. tcpsvd keeps
+listening on the socket for new connections, and can handle
+multiple connections simultaneously.
+
+tcpsvd optionally checks for special instructions depending
+on the IP address or hostname of the client that initiated
+the connection, see ipsvd-instruct(5).
+
+host
+    host either is a hostname, or a dotted-decimal IP address,
+    or 0. If host is 0, tcpsvd accepts connections to any local
+    IP address.
+port
+    tcpsvd accepts connections to host:port. port may be a name
+    from /etc/services or a number.
+prog
+    prog consists of one or more arguments. For each connection,
+    tcpsvd normally runs prog, with file descriptor 0 reading from
+    the network, and file descriptor 1 writing to the network.
+    By default it also sets up TCP-related environment variables,
+    see tcp-environ(5) 
+-i dir
+    read instructions for handling new connections from the instructions
+    directory dir. See ipsvd-instruct(5) for details. 
+-x cdb
+    read instructions for handling new connections from the constant database
+    cdb. The constant database normally is created from an instructions
+    directory by running ipsvd-cdb(8). 
+-t sec
+    timeout. This option only takes effect if the -i option is given.
+    While checking the instructions directory, check the time of last access
+    of the file that matches the clients address or hostname if any, discard
+    and remove the file if it wasn't accessed within the last sec seconds;
+    tcpsvd does not discard or remove a file if the user's write permission
+    is not set, for those files the timeout is disabled. Default is 0,
+    which means that the timeout is disabled. 
+-l name
+    local hostname. Do not look up the local hostname in DNS, but use name
+    as hostname. This option must be set if tcpsvd listens on port 53
+    to avoid loops. 
+-u user[:group]
+    drop permissions. Switch user ID to user's UID, and group ID to user's
+    primary GID after creating and binding to the socket. If user is followed
+    by a colon and a group name, the group ID is switched to the GID of group
+    instead. All supplementary groups are removed. 
+-c n
+    concurrency. Handle up to n connections simultaneously. Default is 30.
+    If there are n connections active, tcpsvd defers acceptance of a new
+    connection until an active connection is closed. 
+-C n[:msg]
+    per host concurrency. Allow only up to n connections from the same IP
+    address simultaneously. If there are n active connections from one IP	
+    address, new incoming connections from this IP address are closed
+    immediately. If n is followed by :msg, the message msg is written	
+    to the client if possible, before closing the connection. By default
+    msg is empty. See ipsvd-instruct(5) for supported escape sequences in msg.
+
+    For each accepted connection, the current per host concurrency is
+    available through the environment variable TCPCONCURRENCY. n and msg
+    can be overwritten by ipsvd(7) instructions, see ipsvd-instruct(5).
+    By default tcpsvd doesn't keep track of connections. 
+-h
+    Look up the client's hostname in DNS. 
+-p
+    paranoid. After looking up the client's hostname in DNS, look up the IP
+    addresses in DNS for that hostname, and forget about the hostname
+    if none of the addresses match the client's IP address. You should
+    set this option if you use hostname based instructions. The -p option
+    implies the -h option. 
+-b n
+    backlog. Allow a backlog of approximately n TCP SYNs. On some systems n
+    is silently limited. Default is 20. 
+-E
+    no special environment. Do not set up TCP-related environment variables. 
+-v
+    verbose. Print verbose messsages to standard output. 
+-vv
+    more verbose. Print more verbose messages to standard output.
