-<h1>Daemon</h1>
-
-<h2>Command Line Arguments</h2>
-
-The PulseAudio daemon accepts several command line arguments:
-
-<pre>
-COMMANDS:
- -h, --help Show this help
- --version Show version
- --dump-conf Dump default configuration
- --dump-modules Dump list of available modules
- -k --kill Kill a running daemon
- --check Check for a running daemon
-
-OPTIONS:
- -D, --daemonize[=BOOL] Daemonize after startup
- --fail[=BOOL] Quit when startup fails
- --verbose[=BOOL] Be slightly more verbose
- --high-priority[=BOOL] Try to set high process priority
- (only available as root)
- --disallow-module-loading[=BOOL] Disallow module loading after startup
- --exit-idle-time=SECS Terminate the daemon when idle and this
- time passed
- --module-idle-time=SECS Unload autoloaded modules when idle and
- this time passed
- --scache-idle-time=SECS Unload autoloaded samples when idle and
- this time passed
- --log-target={auto,syslog,stderr} Specify the log target
- -p, --dl-search-path=PATH Set the search path for dynamic shared
- objects (plugins)
- --resample-method=[METHOD] Use the specified resampling method
- (one of src-sinc-medium-quality,
- src-sinc-best-quality,src-sinc-fastest
- src-zero-order-hold,src-linear,trivial)
- --use-pid-file[=BOOL] Create a PID file
-
-STARTUP SCRIPT:
- -L, --load="MODULE ARGUMENTS" Load the specified plugin module with
- the specified argument
- -F, --file=FILENAME Run the specified script
- -C Open a command line on the running TTY
- after startup
-
- -n Don't load default script file
-</pre>
-
-<h3>Example</h3>
-
-<p>It is a good idea to run the daemon like this:</p>
-
-<pre>pulseaudio -D</pre>
-
-<p>This will run <tt>/etc/pulse/default.pa</tt> after startup. This should be a script written in the CLI language described in <a href="cli.html">cli.html</a>. </p>
-
-<h2>Signals</h2>
-
-<p>The following signals are trapped specially:</p>
-
-<h3>SIGINT</h3>
-
-<p>The daemon is shut down cleanly.</p>
-
-<h3>SIGUSR1</h3>
-
-<p>The daemon tries to load the module <a href="modules.html#module-cli"><tt>module-cli</tt></a>, effectively providing a command line interface on the calling TTY.</p>
-
-<h3>SIGUSR2</h3>
-
-<p>The daemon tries to load the module <a href="modules.html#module-cli-protocol-unix"><tt>module-cli-protocol-unix</tt></a>, effectively providing a command line interface on a special UNIX domain socket.</p>
-
-<h3>SIGHUP</h3>
-
-<p>The daemon logs the current server layout.</p>
