+.SH "SUMMARY"
+.PP
+apache2 is the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server program\&. It is designed to be run as a standalone daemon process\&. When used like this it will create a pool of child processes or threads to handle requests\&.
+.PP
+In general, apache2 should not be invoked directly, but rather should be
+invoked via /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl\&. The default Debian
+configuration requires environment variables that are defined in
+/etc/apache2/envvars and are not available if apache2 is started directly.
+However, apache2ctl can be used to pass arbitrary arguments to apache2.
+.SH "DOCUMENTATION"
+.PP
+The full documentation is available in the apache2-doc package or at
+http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ . Information about Debian specific changes
+and configuration can be found in
+/usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz .
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.TP
+-d \fIserverroot\fR
+Set the initial value for the ServerRoot directive to \fIserverroot\fR\&. This can be overridden by the ServerRoot directive in the configuration file\&.
+.TP
+-f \fIconfig\fR
+Uses the directives in the file \fIconfig\fR on startup\&. If \fIconfig\fR does not begin with a /, then it is taken to be a path relative to the ServerRoot\&. The default is /etc/apache2/apache2\&.conf\&.
+.TP
+-k start|restart|graceful|stop|graceful-stop
+Signals apache2 to start, restart, or stop\&. See Stopping Apache for more information\&.
+.TP
+-C \fIdirective\fR
+Process the configuration \fIdirective\fR before reading config files\&.
+.TP
+-c \fIdirective\fR
+Process the configuration \fIdirective\fR after reading config files\&.
+.TP
+-D \fIparameter\fR
+Sets a configuration \fIparameter \fRwhich can be used with <IfDefine> sections in the configuration files to conditionally skip or process commands at server startup and restart\&.
+.TP
+-e \fIlevel\fR
+Sets the LogLevel to \fIlevel\fR during server startup\&. This is useful for temporarily increasing the verbosity of the error messages to find problems during startup\&.
+.TP
+-E \fIfile\fR
+Send error messages during server startup to \fIfile\fR\&.
+.TP
+-R \fIdirectory\fR
+When the server is compiled using the SHARED_CORE rule, this specifies the \fIdirectory\fR for the shared object files\&.
+.TP
+-h
+Output a short summary of available command line options\&.
+.TP
+-l
+Output a list of modules compiled into the server\&. This will \fBnot\fR list dynamically loaded modules included using the LoadModule directive\&.
+.TP
+-L
+Output a list of directives together with expected arguments and places where the directive is valid\&.
+.TP
+-M
+Dump a list of loaded Static and Shared Modules\&.
+.TP
+-S
+Show the settings as parsed from the config file (currently only shows the virtualhost settings)\&.
+.TP
+-t
+Run syntax tests for configuration files only\&. The program immediately exits after these syntax parsing tests with either a return code of 0 (Syntax OK) or return code not equal to 0 (Syntax Error)\&. If -D \fIDUMP\fR_\fIVHOSTS \fRis also set, details of the virtual host configuration will be printed\&. If -D \fIDUMP\fR_\fIMODULES \fR is set, all loaded modules will be printed\&.
+.TP
+-v
+Print the version of apache2, and then exit\&.
+.TP
+-V
+Print the version and build parameters of apache2, and then exit\&.
+.TP
+-X
+Run apache2 in debug mode\&. Only one worker will be started and the server will not detach from the console\&.
