Unlike traditional -caching software, -.B squid -handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process. -.PP -.B squid -keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, -caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements -negative caching of failed requests. -.PP -.B squid -supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request -logging. By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, -.B squid -caches can be arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional -bandwidth savings. -.PP -.B squid -consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System -lookup program dnsserver, some optional programs for rewriting -requests and performing authentication, and some management and client -tools. When squid starts up, it spawns a configurable number of -dnsserver processes, each of which can perform a single, blocking -Domain Name System (DNS) lookup. This reduces the amount of time the -cache waits for DNS lookups. -.PP -.B squid -is derived from the ARPA-funded Harvest Project -http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/ -.PP -This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details -on how to configure -.B squid -see the file -.BI /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf, -the Squid FAQ and the documentation at the -.B squid -home page http://www.squid-cache.org -.PP -.SH OPTIONS -.IP "-a port" -Specify HTTP port number (default: 3128). -.IP "-d level" -Write debugging to stderr also. -.IP "-f file" -Use the given config-file instead of -.IR /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf . -If the file name starts with a ! or | then it is assumed to be an external -command or command line. Can for example be used to pre-process the -configuration before it is being read by Squid. To facilitate this Squid -also understands the common #line notion to indicate the real source file. -.IP -h -Print help message. -.IP -i -Install as a Windows Service (see -n option). -.IP "-k reconfigure | rotate | shutdown | interrupt | kill | debug | check | parse" -Parse configuration file, then send signal to running copy -(except -k parse) and exit. -.IP "-n name" -Specify Windows Service name to use for service operations, default is: -.BI Squid -. -.IP -r -Remove a Windows Service (see -n option). -.IP -s -Enable logging to syslog. -.IP "-l facility" -Use specified syslog facility. implies -s -.IP "-u port" -Specify ICP port number (default: 3130), disable with 0. -.IP -v -Print version. -.IP -z -Create swap directories -.IP -C -Do not catch fatal signals. -.IP -D -Disable initial DNS tests. -.IP -F -Don't serve any requests until store is rebuilt. -.IP "-O options" -Set Windows Service Command line options in Registry. -.IP -N -No daemon mode. -.IP -R -Do not set REUSEADDR on port. -.IP -X -Force full debugging. -.IP -Y -Only return UDP_HIT or UDP_MISS_NOFETCH during fast reload. -.SH FILES -.I /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf -.RS -The main configuration file.
