DESCRIPTION
- The proxy runs stand-alone (not from
- inetd). The
- host:port
+ yaz-proxy is a Z39.50 optimizing proxy daemon.
+ The listening port must be specified on the command-line.
+ inetd operation is not supported.
+ The host:port
argument specifies host address to listen to, and the port to
listen on. Use the host @
to listen for connections coming from any address.
+
+ yaz-proxy can be configured using command-line
+ options or a configuration file.
+ Configuration file options override values specified
+ on the command-line.
+
+
+ yaz-proxy rereads its configuration file and
+ reopens log files when it receivies the hangup signal, SIGHUP.

The YAZ command-line client,

- For example, to connect to Index Data's target you could use:

+ yaz-client -p localhost:9000 indexdata.dk:210/gils
