svnserve

svnserve allows access to Subversion repositories using the svn network protocol. You can run svnserve either as a standalone server process, or you can have another process, such as inetd, xinetd or sshd, launch it for you.

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 section called “svnserve, a custom server” for details of the svnserve.conf file.

svnserve Switches

Unlike the previous commands we've described. svnserve has no subcommands—svnserve is controlled exclusively by switches.

--daemon (-d)

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 switch causes svnserve to stay in the foreground. This switch is mainly useful for debugging.

--inetd (-i)

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