# lordsawar-game-host-server(6)

Serve up networked lordsawar games.

## NAME

lordsawar-game-host-server - Serve up networked lordsawar games.

## SYNOPSIS

**lordsawar-game-host-server** \[*OPTION*...\]

## DESCRIPTION

Allow remote and local users to start their networked lordsawar games on your computer.  The command-line tool **lordsawar-game-host-client** is used to send commands to this server.

- **-f, --foreground**

  Do not detach from the controlling terminal.

- **-h**, **--host** *HOST*

  Specify the hostname that others can reach this machine on.

- **-p**, **--port** *NUMBER*

  Start the server on the given port.

- **-m**, **--members** *FILE*

  Allow the profile ids in this file to host games.  The format of *FILE* is one id per line, with any lines starting with **#** being ignored.

- **-?, --help**

When a --port is not specified, the server starts on port 22998. The server will search for the **lordsawar** binary in your path and execute it to begin hosting new games.
