DESCRIPTION
Innd ,
the InterNetNews daemon, handles all incoming NNTP feeds.
It reads the
active (5),
newsfeeds (5),
and
incoming.conf (5)
files into memory.
It then opens the NNTP port to receive articles from remote sites (see
the ``-p'' option),
If
<HAVE_UNIX_DOMAIN_SOCKETS in include/config.h>
is defined,
a Unix-domain stream socket to receive articles from local processes
such as
nnrpd (8)
and
rnews (1),
and a Unix-domain datagram socket for use by
ctlinnd (8).
If
<HAVE_UNIX_DOMAIN_SOCKETS in include/config.h>
is not defined, named pipes are used instead.
Ctlinnd (8)
is used to direct the server to perform certain actions.
It also opens the
history (5)
database and two log files to replace its standard output and standard error.
Once the files and sockets have been opened,
innd
waits for connections and data to be ready on its ports by using
select (2)
and non-blocking I/O.
If no data is available, then it will flush its in-core data structures.
The default number of seconds to timeout before flushing is
set as
<DEFAULT_TIMEOUT in config.data>
(typically
