main() [2/3]

int Ice::Service::main	(	int	argc,
		const char *const	argv[],
		InitializationData	initData = {} )

The primary entry point for services.

This function examines argv for reserved options and takes the appropriate action. The reserved options are shown below.

Win32:

–service NAME

Unix:

–daemon [–nochdir] [–noclose]

If –service or –daemon are specified, the program runs as a service, otherwise the program runs as a regular foreground process. Any service-specific (and Ice-specific) options are stripped from argv (just as for Ice::initialize).

Parameters

argc	The number of arguments in argv.
argv	The command-line arguments.
initData	Configuration data for the new communicator.

Returns

The application's exit status: EXIT_FAILURE or EXIT_SUCCESS.
