NAME
       svnserve - Server for the 'svn' repository access method

SYNOPSIS
       svnserve [options]

DESCRIPTION
       svnserve allows access to Subversion repositories using the svn network
       protocol.  It can both run as a standalone server process,  or  it  can
       run  out	 of inetd.  You must choose a mode of operation when you start
       svnserve.  The following options are recognized:

       -d, --daemon
	    Causes svnserve to	run  in	 daemon	 mode.	 svnserve  backgrounds
	    itself  and	 accepts and serves TCP/IP connections on the svn port
	    (3690, by default).

       --listen-port=port
	    Causes svnserve to listen on port when run in daemon mode.

       --listen-host=host
	    Causes svnserve to listen on  the  interface  specified  by	 host,
	    which may be either a hostname or an IP address.

       --foreground
	    When used together with -d, this option causes svnserve to stay in
	    the foreground.  This option is mainly useful for debugging.

       -i, --inetd
	    Causes svnserve to use the stdin/stdout file  descriptors,	as  is
	    appropriate for a daemon running out of inetd.

       -h, --help
	    Displays a usage summary and exits.

       --version
	    Print svnserve's version and the repository filesystem back-end(s)
	    a particular svnserve supports.

       -r root, --root=root
	    Sets the virtual root for repositories served  by  svnserve.   The
	    pathname  in URLs provided by the client will be interpreted rela‐
	    tive to this root, and will not be allowed to escape this root.

       -R --read-only
	    Force all write operations through this svnserve  instance	to  be
	    forbidden,	overriding  all other access policy configuration.  Do
	    not use this option to set general repository access policy - that
	    is	what  the  conf/svnserve.conf repository configuration file is
	    for.  This option should be used only to  restrict	access	via  a
	    certain  method of invoking svnserve - for example, to allow write
	    access via SSH, but not via a svnserve  daemon,  or	 to  create  a
	    restricted SSH key which is only capable of read access.

       -t, --tunnel
	    Causes  svnserve  to  run  in  tunnel mode, which is just like the
	    inetd mode of operation (serve one connection  over	 stdin/stdout)
	    except  that  the connection is considered to be pre-authenticated
	    with the username of the current uid.  This flag  is  selected  by
	    the client when running over a tunnel agent.

       --tunnel-user=username
	    When combined with --tunnel, overrides the pre-authenticated user‐
	    name with the supplied username.  This is  useful  in  combination
	    with  the ssh authorized_key file's "command" directive to allow a
	    single system account to be used by multiple committers, each hav‐
	    ing a distinct ssh identity.

       -T, --threads
	    When  running  in  daemon  mode, causes svnserve to spawn a thread
	    instead of a process for each connection.	The  svnserve  process
	    still backgrounds itself at startup time.

       --config-file=filename
	    When  specified,  svnserve	reads filename once at program startup
	    and caches the svnserve configuration and any passwords and autho‐
	    rization  configuration  referenced	 from filename.	 svnserve will
	    not read any per-repository	 conf/svnserve.conf  files  when  this
	    option  is used.  See the svnserve.conf(5) man page for details of
	    the file format for this option.

       --pid-file=filename
	    When specified, svnserve will write its process ID to filename.

       -X, --listen-once
	    Causes svnserve to accept one connection on the  svn  port,	 serve
	    it, and exit.  This option is mainly useful for debugging.

       Unless the --config-file option was specified on the command line, once
       the client has selected a repository by transmitting its URL,  svnserve
       reads  a	 file  named conf/svnserve.conf in the repository directory to
       determine repository-specific  settings	such  as  what	authentication
       database	 to  use  and  what  authorization policies to apply.  See the
       svnserve.conf(5) man page for details of that file format.
