NAME
nscd --- name service caching daemon
SYNOPSIS
nscd [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
Nscd caches libc-issued requests to the Name Service. If retrieving NSS
data is fairly expensive, nscd is able to speed up consecutive access to
the same data dramatically and increase overall system performance. Nscd
should be run at boot time by /etc/init.d/nscd.
OPTIONS
-d, --debug
Do not fork and display messages on the current tty.
-f, --config-file NAME
Read configuration data from NAME. For a description of the
config file format, see nscd.conf(5).
-g, --statistic
Print current configuration statistics.
-i, --invalidate TABLE
Invalidate the specified TABLE, i. e. forget all data cached
therein. This should be used if the database storing this
information has been changed.
-K, --shutdown
Quit a running nscd process.
-S, --secure TABLE
Use a separate cache for each user.
-t, --nthreads NUMBER
Start NUMBER threads. This denotes the maximum number of requests
that can be handled simultaneously. The default is set in the
configuration file. (See nscd.conf(5).)
-?, --help
Print the list of available options.
--usage
Print a short usage message.
-V, --version
Print program version.
