- <listitem><para>
- Don't fork or make threads on connection requests. This is good for
- debugging, but not recommended for real operation: Although the
- server is asynchronous and non-blocking, it can be nice to keep
- a software malfunction (okay then, a crash) from affecting all
- current users.
- </para></listitem></varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry><term><literal>-1</literal></term>
- <listitem><para>
- Like <literal>-S</literal> but after one session the server
- exits. This mode is for debugging <emphasis>only</emphasis>.
- </para></listitem></varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry><term><literal>-T</literal></term>
- <listitem><para>
- Operate the server in threaded mode. The server creates a thread
- for each connection rather than a fork a process. Only available
- on UNIX systems that offers POSIX threads.
- </para></listitem></varlistentry>

- <varlistentry><term><literal>-s</literal></term>
- <listitem><para>
- Use the SR protocol (obsolete).
- </para></listitem></varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry><term><literal>-z</literal></term>
- <listitem><para>
- Use the Z39.50 protocol (default). These two options complement
- each other. You can use both multiple times on the same command
- line, between listener-specifications (see below). This way, you
- can set up the server to listen for connections in both protocols
- concurrently, on different local ports.
