-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBasterisk\fR is a full-featured telephony server which
-provides Private Branch eXchange (PBX), Interactive Voice Response (IVR),
-Automated Call Distribution (ACD), Voice over IP (VoIP) gatewaying,
-Conferencing, and a plethora of other telephony applications to a broad
-range of telephony devices including packet voice (SIP, IAX2, MGCP, Skinny,
-H.323, Unistim) devices (both endpoints and proxies), as well as traditional TDM
-hardware including T1, E1, ISDN PRI, GR-303, RBS, Loopstart, Groundstart,
-ISDN BRI and many more.
-.PP
-At start, Asterisk reads the /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf main configuration
-file and locates the rest of the configuration files from the configuration
-in that file. The -C option specifies an alternate main configuration file.
-Virtually all aspects of the operation of asterisk's configuration files
-can be found in the sample configuration files. The format for those files
-is generally beyond the scope of this man page.
-.PP
-When running with \fB-c\fR, \fB-r\fR or \fB-R\fR
-options, Asterisk supplies a powerful command line, including command
-completion, which may be used to monitors its status, perform a variety
-of administrative actions and even explore the applications that are
-currently loaded into the system.
-.PP
-Asterisk is a trademark of Digium, Inc.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
--B
-Force the background of the terminal to be black, in order for
-terminal colors to show up properly.
-.TP
--C \fIfile\fR
-Use \*(T<\fIfile\fR\*(T> as master configuration file
-instead of the default, /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
-.TP
--c
-Provide a control console on the calling terminal.
-Specifying this option implies \fB-f\fR and will cause
-asterisk to no longer fork or detach from the controlling terminal.
-.TP
--d
-Enable extra debugging statements.
-
-Note: This always sets the debug level in the asterisk process,
-even if it is running in the background. This may affect the size
-of your log files, if the debug level is specified in logger.conf.
-.TP
--e \fImemory\fR
-Limit the generation of new channels when the amount of free memory has decreased to under \fImemory\fR megabytes.
-.TP
--f
-Do not fork or detach from controlling terminal. Overrides any preceding specification of \fB-F\fR on the command line.
-.TP
--F
-Always fork and detach from controlling terminal. Overrides any preceding specification of \fB-f\fR on the command line.
-.TP
--g
-Remove resource limit on core size, thus forcing Asterisk to dump
-core in the unlikely event of a segmentation fault or abort signal.
-\fBNOTE:\fR in some cases this may be incompatible
-with the \fB-U\fR or \fB-G\fR flags.
-.TP
--G \fIgroup\fR
-Run as group \fIgroup\fR instead of the
-calling group. \fBNOTE:\fR this requires substantial work
-to be sure that Asterisk's environment has permission to write
-the files required for its operation, including logs, its comm
-socket, the asterisk database, etc.
-.TP
--h
-Provide brief summary of command line arguments and terminate.
-.TP
--i
-Prompt user to intialize any encrypted private keys for IAX2
-secure authentication during startup.
-.TP
--I
-Enable internal timing if DAHDI timing is available.
-The default behaviour is that outbound packets are phase locked
-to inbound packets. Enabling this switch causes them to be
-locked to the internal DAHDI timer instead.
-.TP
--L \fIloadaverage\fR
-Limits the maximum load average before rejecting new calls. This can
-be useful to prevent a system from being brought down by terminating
-too many simultaneous calls.
-.TP
--m
-Temporarily mutes output to the console and logs. To return to normal,
-use \fBlogger mute\fR.
-.TP
--M \fIvalue\fR
-Limits the maximum number of calls to the specified value. This can
-be useful to prevent a system from being brought down by terminating
-too many simultaneous calls.
-.TP
--n
-Disable ANSI colors even on terminals capable of displaying them.
-.TP
--p
-If supported by the operating system (and executing as root),
-attempt to run with realtime priority for increased performance and
-responsiveness within the Asterisk process, at the expense of other
-programs running on the same machine.
-
-Note: \fBastcanary\fR will run concurrently with
-\fBasterisk\fR. If \fBastcanary\fR stops
-running or is killed, \fBasterisk\fR will slow down to
-normal process priority, to avoid locking up the machine.
-.TP
--q
-Reduce default console output when running in conjunction with
-console mode (\fB-c\fR).
-.TP
--r
-Instead of running a new Asterisk process, attempt to connect
-to a running Asterisk process and provide a console interface
-for controlling it.
-.TP
--R
-Much like \fB-r\fR. Instead of running a new Asterisk process, attempt to connect
-to a running Asterisk process and provide a console interface
-for controlling it. Additionally, if connection to the Asterisk
-process is lost, attempt to reconnect for as long as 30 seconds.
-.TP
--s \fIsocket file name\fR
-In combination with \fB-r\fR, connect directly to a specified
-Asterisk server socket.
-.TP
--t
-When recording files, write them first into a temporary holding directory,
-then move them into the final location when done.
-.TP
--T
-Add timestamp to all non-command related output going to the console
-when running with verbose and/or logging to the console.
-.TP
--U \fIuser\fR
-Run as user \fIuser\fR instead of the
-calling user. \fBNOTE:\fR this requires substantial work
-to be sure that Asterisk's environment has permission to write
-the files required for its operation, including logs, its comm
-socket, the asterisk database, etc.
-.TP
--v
-Increase the level of verboseness on the console. The more times
-\fB-v\fR is specified, the more verbose the output is.
-Specifying this option implies \fB-f\fR and will cause
-asterisk to no longer fork or detach from the controlling terminal.
-This option may also be used in conjunction with \fB-r\fR
-and \fB-R\fR.
-
-Note: This always sets the verbose level in the asterisk process,
-even if it is running in the background. This will affect the size
-of your log files.
-.TP
--V
-Display version information and exit immediately.
-.TP
--W
-Display colored terminal text as if the background were white
-or otherwise light in color. Normally, terminal text is displayed
-as if the background were black or otherwise dark in color.
-.TP
--x \fIcommand\fR
-Connect to a running Asterisk process and execute a command on
-a command line, passing any output through to standard out and
-then terminating when the command execution completes. Implies
-\fB-r\fR when \fB-R\fR is not explicitly
-supplied.
-.TP
--X
-Enables executing of includes via \fB#exec\fR directive.
-This can be useful if You want to do \fB#exec\fR inside
-\*(T<\fIasterisk.conf\fR\*(T>

+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+
+.PP
+Running Asterisk starts the asterisk daemon (optionally running it
+in the foreground). However running it with \fB-r\fP or
+\fB-R\fP connects to an existing Asterisk instance through
+a remote console.
+
+.IP "\-B" 10
+Force the background of the terminal to be black, in order for
+terminal colors to show up properly. Equivalent to
+\fBforceblackbackground = yes\fP in
+\fBasterisk.conf\fP. See also
+\fB-n\fP and \fB-W\fP.
+
+.IP "\-C \fIfile\fR" 10
+Use \fBfile\fP as master configuration file
+instead of the default, /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
+
+.IP "\-c" 10
+Provide a control console on the calling terminal. The
+console is similar to the remote console provided by
+\fB-r\fP. Specifying this option implies
+\fB-f\fR and will cause asterisk to no longer
+fork or detach from the controlling terminal. Equivalent
+to \fBconsole = yes\fP in \fBasterisk.conf\fP.
+
+.IP "\-d" 10
+Enable extra debugging statements. This parameter may be used several
+times, and each increases the debug level. Equivalent to \fBdebug = \fInum\fR\fP in \fBasterisk.conf\fP to explicitly set the initian debug
+level to \fInum\fR. When given at startup, this
+option also implies \fB-f\fP (no forking). However when
+connecting to an existing Asterisk instance (\fB-r\fP or
+\fB-R\fP), it may only increase the debug level.
+
+.IP "\-e \fImemory\fR" 10
+Limit the generation of new channels when the amount of free memory
+has decreased to under \fImemory\fR megabytes.
+Equivalent to \fBminmemfree = \fImemory\fR\fP in
+\fBasterisk.conf\fP.
+
+.IP "\-f" 10
+Do not fork or detach from controlling terminal. Overrides any
+preceding specification of \fB-F\fR on the command line.
+Equivalent to \fBnofork = yes\fP in \fBasterisk.conf\fP.
+See also \fB-c\fP.
+
+.IP "\-F" 10
+Always fork and detach from controlling terminal. Overrides any
+preceding specification of \fB-f\fR on the command line.
+May also be used to prevent \fB-d\fP and \fB-v\fP to imply
+no forking. Equivalent to \fBalwaysfork = yes\fP in \fBasterisk.conf\fP.
+
+.IP "\-g" 10
+Remove resource limit on core size, thus forcing Asterisk to dump
+core in the unlikely event of a segmentation fault or abort signal.

+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ <command>asterisk</command> is a full-featured telephony server which
+ provides Private Branch eXchange (PBX), Interactive Voice Response (IVR),
+ Automated Call Distribution (ACD), Voice over IP (VoIP) gatewaying,
+ Conferencing, and a plethora of other telephony applications to a broad
+ range of telephony devices including packet voice (SIP, IAX2, MGCP, Skinny,
+ H.323, Unistim) devices (both endpoints and proxies), as well as traditional TDM
+ hardware including T1, E1, ISDN PRI, GR-303, RBS, Loopstart, Groundstart,
+ ISDN BRI and many more.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ At start, Asterisk reads the /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf main configuration
+ file and locates the rest of the configuration files from the configuration
+ in that file. The -C option specifies an alternate main configuration file.
+ Virtually all aspects of the operation of asterisk's configuration files
+ can be found in the sample configuration files. The format for those files
+ is generally beyond the scope of this man page.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ When running with <command>-c</command>, <command>-r</command> or <command>-R</command>
+ options, Asterisk supplies a powerful command line, including command
+ completion, which may be used to monitors its status, perform a variety
+ of administrative actions and even explore the applications that are
+ currently loaded into the system.
