NAME
     kfcgi - FastCGI server for kcgi applications

SYNOPSIS
     kfcgi [-l backlog] [-n workers] [-p chroot] [-s sockpath] [-u sockuser]
           [-U procuser] prog [arg0...]

DESCRIPTION
     The kfcgi server starts up workers processes of prog to handle FastCGI
     connections.  By default, it opens the socket /var/www/run/httpd.sock in
     mode 0660 under the current user and group, changes to a file-system jail
     in /var/www, then starts 3 workers executing prog, which must exist
     relative to the file-system jail root.  The arguments are as follows:

     -l backlog
             The connection backlog.  If unspecified or zero, this is set to
             the value of -n.  If too small, the web-server will not be able
             to pass in new connections.

     -n workers
             The number of workers >1.

     -p chroot
             Location of file-system jail.  This is mandatory: use the root
             directory if you insist on being insecure.

     -s sockpath
             Alternative socket path.

     -u sockuser
             The user in whose name (user and group) the socket is created.

     -U procuser
             The user in whose name the process is dropped.

EXIT STATUS
     The kfcgi utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES
     On OpenBSD, the default user for the web server is "www".  Assuming we
     have a server that doesn't need any files, we can run the following to
     keep it in a safe jail:

           # kfcgi -u www -U www -- /fcgi-bin/prog

     This will execute /fcgi-bin/prog within the default file-system jail of
     /var/www as user "www".  It will create the default socket
     /var/www/run/httpd.sock in mode 0660 as user "www".
