.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl nVv
.Op Fl f Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a Matrix homeserver written entirely from scratch in ANSI C.
It is designed to be lightweight and simple, yet functional.
.sp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl f Ar file
Specify an alternate configuration file. The default is
.Pa /etc/telodendria.conf .
.It Fl n
Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
.It Fl V
Only print the version information header.
.It Fl v
Verbose mode. This overrides the configuration file and sets the
log level to
.Em LOG_DEBUG
.El
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Nm
does not read any environment variables. All configuration should
be done via the configuration file.
.Sh FILES
Just the configuration file and the data directory; see
.Xr telodendria.conf 5
for more details.
.El
.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Nm
exits with a non-0 exit code if the configuration file is invalid, or
one or more required paths is inaccessible.
.Nm
will print an error to the log and then terminate abnormally.
.Pp
.Nm
exits with a code of 0 if the configuration file is valid, all
paths and files required are accessible, and the HTTP listener starts
as intended. If
.Nm
is sent a signal that it catches after it begins servicing requests, it
will still exit with a code of 0 after it safely shuts down, because
the bootstrap process completed successfully, and by all accounts,
it ran normally and exitted normally.
