DESCRIPTION
     ser or Sip Express Router is a very  fast  and  configurable
     SIP proxy.


OPTIONS
     -h          Displays a short  usage  description,  including
                 all available options.

     -c          Checks the config file and displays the  aliases
                 and listen interface list.

     -r          Uses dns to check if it is necessary  to  add  a
                 "received=" field to a via.

     -R          Same as -r but uses reverse dns.

     -v          Turns  on  via  host  checking  when  forwarding
                 replies.

     -d          Turns on debugging,  multiple  -d  increase  the
                 debug level.

     -D          Runs ser in the foreground (it doesn't fork into
                 daemon mode).

     -E          Sends all the log messages to stderr.

     -T          Disables TCP support.

     -V          Displays the version number.

     -f config-file
                 Reads  the  configuration  from      config-file
                 (default /etc/sfw/ser/ser.cfg ).

     -l address  Listens on the specified  address.  Multiple  -l
                 mean   listening   on  multiple  addresses.  The
                 default behaviour is to listen on all  the  ipv4
                 interfaces.

     -p port     Listens on the specified port (default 5060). It
                 applies  to  the  last address specified with -l
                 and to all the following  that  do  not  have  a
                 corresponding -p.

     -n processes-no
                 Specifies  the  number  of  children   processes
                 forked per interface (default 8).

     -N tcp processes-no
                 Specifies  the  number  of  children   processes
                 forked  to  handle  tcp incoming connections (by
                 default is equal to -n ).

     -b maxrcvbufsize
                 Maximum receive buffer size which  will  not  be
                 exceeded  by  the auto-probing procedure even if
                 the OS allows.

     -m sharedmemsize
                 Size of the shared memory which  will  be  allo-
                 cated (in Megabytes).

     -w working-dir
                 Specifies the working  directory.  In  the  very
                 improbable  event  that ser will crash, the core
                 file will be generated here.

     -t chroot-dir
                 Forces ser to chroot after  reading  the  config
                 file.

     -u uid      Changes the user id under which ser runs.

     -g gid      Changes the group id under which ser runs.

     -P pid-file Creates a file containing the pid  of  the  main
                 ser process.

     -i fifo-path
                 Creates  a  fifo,  usefull  for  monitoring  ser
                 status.
