inetd (io-sock)

Updated: April 19, 2023

Internet super-server (UNIX)

Syntax:

inetd [-d] [-l] [-w] [-W] [-c maximum] [-C rate] [-a address | hostname]
      [-p filename] [-R rate] [-s maximum] [-t security_type] [-U uid[:gid ...]
      [configuration_file]

Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Options:

For descriptions of standard options, see the FreeBSD documentation.

-t security_type

For systems that use security types, specifies the name of a non-default type.

-U uid[:gid ...]
Set the user ID and one or more optional group IDs to run as, so that inetd doesn't need to run as root.

Description:

The inetd utility that QNX Neutrino provides is ported from FreeBSD.
  • The -t and -U options are QNX Neutrino extensions.
  • QNX Neutrino does not support -p, which allows you to specify an alternate file in which to store the process ID.
  • TCP Wrapping has not been tested with io-sock (-W and -w options).

For a detailed description, see the FreeBSD documentation (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=inetd&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+13.0-RELEASE+and+Ports).
