# cherokee-worker(1)

Cherokee Web Server internal worker

## NAME

cherokee-worker - Cherokee Web Server internal worker

## SYNOPSIS

**cherokee-worker \[options\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**cherokee-worker** is a part of Cherokee, an extremely fast, flexible and embeddable web server. This executable is meant to be invoked only by [*cherokee*(1)](/cherokee/1.md). Executing it directly is a discouraged practice.

## DEVELOPMENT

This binary implements the Cherokee Web Server functionality, although it misses a few security features implemented on the main executable: [*cherokee*(1)](/cherokee/1.md).

- Executing it alone could be only useful for debugging purposes.
