! 18: <p>Mpd is invoked by first setting up your configuration
! 19: files, and then running
! 20: <blockquote><code>
! 21: <code><b>mpd [ <em>options</em> ] [ <em>configuration</em> ] </b></code>
! 22: </code></blockquote>
! 23:
! 24: On startup mpd run commands from the <code>startup</code> label.
! 25: Aftre that, if <code><em>configuration</em></code> is supplied,
! 26: mpd looks in <code>mpd.conf</code> for a matching label,
! 27: and runs the corresponding commands. If
! 28: <code><em>configuration</em></code> is not supplied,
! 29: mpd looks for the configuration named <code>default</code>.</p>
! 30: <p>Mpd can either be run in interactive mode or in the
! 31: background as a daemon. In interactive mode mpd
! 32: accepts commands typed at the console.</p>
! 33: <p>Mpd understands the following command line options.
! 34: Each option has a short, single character form, as
! 35: well as an equivalent long form.</p>
! 36: <p>
! 37: <dl>
! 38:
! 39: <dt><b><code>-b --background</code></b><dd><p>Run as a background daemon.</p>
! 40:
! 41: <dt><b><code>-d --directory <em>dir</em></code></b><dd><p>This option allows you to specify a different directory
! 42: for the mpd configuration files other than the default
! 43: <code>/usr/local/etc/mpd</code>.</p>
! 44:
! 45: <dt><b><code>-f --file <em>filename</em></code></b><dd><p>Specify an initial configuration file other than the default,
! 46: <code>mpd.conf</code>.</p>
! 47:
! 48: <dt><b><code>-o --one-shot</code></b><dd><p>This option forces mpd terminate itself after the last link disappear.
! 49: Link templates are not counted as links.</p>
! 50:
! 51: <dt><b><code>-p --pidfile <em>filename</em></code></b><dd><p>Mpd will open and lock <code><em>filename</em></code> and
! 52: write its process ID before starting. If another mpd
! 53: process is already running, mpd will not start.
! 54: The default is <code>/var/run/mpd.pid</code>.</p>
! 55:
! 56: <dt><b><code>-k --kill</code></b><dd><p>With this option, pd will attempt to kill any existing mpd
! 57: process before beginning execution. The previous process
! 58: must have written its process ID in the PID file
! 59: <code>/var/run/mpd.pid</code> (or the file you specify with
! 60: the <code>--pidfile</code> option).</p>
! 61:
! 62: <dt><b><code>-s --syslog-ident <em>ident</em></code></b><dd><p>Mpd normally logs via <code>syslog(3)</code> with the identifier
! 63: <code>mpd</code>. This option allows you to change that identifier.</p>
! 64:
! 65: <dt><b><code>-v --version</code></b><dd><p>Displays the version number of mpd and exits.</p>
! 66:
! 67: <dt><b><code>-h --help</code></b><dd><p>Displays a usage message and exits.</p>

! 71: <p>Mpd responds to the following signals while it is running:</p>
! 72: <p>
! 73: <dl>
! 74:
! 75: <dt><b>SIGTERM</b><dd><p>Attempt to gracefully shut down all active connections and exit.</p>
! 76:
! 77: <dt><b>SIGUSR1</b><dd><p>This signal causes mpd to initiate a connection
! 78: with the first link. If mpd is already
! 79: attempting to connect, this signal has no effect.</p>
! 80:
! 81: <dt><b>SIGUSR2</b><dd><p>This signal has the opposite effect, namely, it causes
! 82: mpd to close the first link. If the link
! 83: is already in a closed state, this signal has no effect.</p>
