# m3browser(1)

an HTTP server providing virtual Modula-3 web

## NAME

m3browser - an HTTP server providing virtual Modula-3 web

## SYNTAX

m3browser \[-port p\] \[-workers n\] \[-refresh m\] \[-root x\] \[-dir y\]...

## DESCRIPTION

M3browser is an HTTP server that provides an on-line view of a virtual Modula-3 web.  The server monitors a set of Modula-3 packages and renders the Modula-3 source as HTML on-the-fly.

While running m3browser periodically updates the file "m3browser.html" in the current working directory.  This file should be used as the entry point into the virtual Modula-3 web.

## OPTIONS

M3browser recognizes the following options:

- \-port p

  -

  Listen on socket p for HTTP queries.  (default: 3829)

- \-workers n

  -

  Fork n Modula-3 threads to answer queries.  (default: 3)

- \-refresh m

  -

  Rescan the packages every m minutes.  (default: 30)

- \-root x

  -

  Scan each subdirectory of x for Modula-3 packages. (default: PKG\_USE defined at Modula-3 installation time)

- \-dir y

  -

  Scan directory y for derived information in each package. (default: DEFAULT\_BUILD\_DIR defined at Modula-3 installation time)

## BUGS

There must be some.
