.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBcoap\-server\fR is an example server for the \*(AqConstrained Application Protocol` (RFC 7252)\&.
.SH "OPTIONS \- GENERAL"
.PP
\fB\-d\fR max
.RS 4
Enable support for creation of dynamic resources when doing a PUT up to a limit of max\&. If max is reached, a 4\&.06 code is returned until one of the dynamic resources has been deleted\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-g\fR group
.RS 4
Join specified multicast
\fIgroup\fR
on startup\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-p\fR port
.RS 4
The
\fIport\fR
on the given address will be listening for incoming connections\&. If (D)TLS is supported, then
\fIport\fR
+ 1 will also be listened on for (D)TLS connections\&. The default port is 5683 if not given any other value\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-l\fR list
.RS 4
Fail to send some datagrams specified by a comma separated list of numbers or number ranges (debugging only)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-l\fR loss%
.RS 4
Randomly failed to send datagams with the specified probability \- 100% all datagrams, 0% no datagrams (debugging only)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-v\fR num
.RS 4
The verbosity level to use (default 3, maximum is 9)\&. Above 7, there is increased verbosity in GnuTLS and OpenSSL logging\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-A\fR addr
.RS 4
The local address of the interface which the server has to listen\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-N\fR
.RS 4
Send NON\-confirmable message for \e"observe\e" responses\&. If option
\fB\-N\fR
is not specified, a confirmable response will be sent\&. Even if set, every fifth response will still be sent as a confirmable response (RFC 7641 requirement)\&.
.RE
.SH "OPTIONS \- PSK"
.sp
(If supported by underlying (D)TLS library)
.PP
\fB\-h\fR hint
.RS 4
Pre\-shared key hint to use for inbound connections\&. The default is
\fICoAP\fR\&. This cannot be empty if defined\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-k\fR key
.RS 4
Pre\-shared key to use for inbound connections\&. This cannot be empty if defined\&.
\fBNote:\fR
if
\fB\-c cafile\fR
is defined, you need to define
\fB\-k key\fR
as well to have the server support both PSK and PKI\&.
.RE
.SH "OPTIONS \- PKI"
.sp
(If supported by underlying (D)TLS library)
.PP
\fB\-c\fR certfile
.RS 4
Use the specified PEM file which contains the CERTIFICATE and PRIVATE KEY information\&.
\fBNote:\fR
if
\fB\-k key\fR
is defined, you need to define
\fB\-c cafile\fR
as well to have the server support both PSK and PKI\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-n\fR
.RS 4
Disable the requirement for clients to have defined client certificates
.RE
.PP
\fB\-C\fR cafile
.RS 4
PEM file containing the CA Certificate that was used to sign the certfile defined using
\fB\-c certfile\fR\&. If defined, then the client will be given this CA Certificate during the TLS set up\&. Furthermore, this will trigger the validation of the client certificate\&. If certfile is self\-signed (as defined by
\fB\-c certfile\fR), then you need to have on the command line the same filename for both the certfile and cafile (as in
\fB\-c certfile \-C certfile\fR) to trigger validation\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-R\fR root_cafile
.RS 4
PEM file containing the set of trusted root CAs that are to be used to validate the server certificate\&. The
\fB\-C cafile\fR
does not have to be in this list and is "trusted" for the verification\&. Alternatively, this can point to a directory containing a set of CA PEM files\&.
