74.Sh DESCRIPTION
75.Nm
76is a library interface to the
77.Xr bozohttpd 8
78web server.
79The
80.Nm
81library can be used to embed a webserver
82in your applications.
83.Pp
84Normal operation sees the
85.Nm
86process be initialised using the
87.Fn bozo_set_defaults
88function, which will set up the default port
89and other internal settings, allocating
90any necessary space as needed.
91The
92.Fn bozo_set_defaults
93function returns 1 on sucess, 0 on failure.
94.Pp
95The
96.Fn bozo_setup
97function is used to specify the virtual host name
98for the web server.
99A NULL host name will mean that
100.Nm
101will use the local value for the host name,
102as returned by
103.Xr gethostname 3 .
104This virtual hostname should be a fully qualified domain name.
105The final argument to
106.Fn bozo_setup
107is the name of the directory to serve as the root
108directory of the web server tree.
109.Pp
110Once the server has been set up, it serves
111requests by using the
112.Fn bozo_read_request
113function, which returns a pointer to a request structure,
114and
115.Fn bozo_process_request ,
116which deals with the request, and answers the client.
117The request space is de-allocated
118using the
119.Fn bozo_clean_request
120function.
121.Pp
122Preferences are set
123using the function
124.Fn bozo_set_pref
125function
126and queried using the two
127.Fn bozo_get_pref
128function.
129This is the main interface for selecting options, and for
130setting preferences.
131The memory allocated by
132.Fn bozo_setup
133for both the httpd structure and the preferences will be freed.
