``--bind``
The IP and port to listen for requests.
``--bind <ip:port>``, ``--bind-tls <ip:port>``, and ``--bind-tls-2 <ip:port>``
The IP and port to listen for requests with:
``--processes`` and ``--threads``
* (HTTP) HTTP/1.1 only for ``--bind``, leveraging ``fasthttp``;
* (HTTPS) HTTP/1.1 over TLS for ``--bind-tls``, leveraging ``fasthttp``;
* (HTTPS) HTTP/2 or HTTP/1.1 over TLS for ``--bind-tls-2``, leveraging Go's ``net/http``; (this can be safely used in production, however it is not as performant as the other two options;)
``--tls-bundle <path>``, ``--tls-public <path>``, and ``--tls-private <path>`` (optional)
If TLS is used these options allows one to specify the certificate to use, either as a single file (the bundle) or separate files (the actual public certificate and the private key).
If one doesn't specify any of these options, an embedded self-signed certificate will be used.
``--processes <count>`` and ``--threads <count>``
The number of processes and threads per each process to start.
It is highly recommended to use 1 process and as many threads as there are cores.
Depending on the use-case, one can use multiple processes each with a single thread; this would reduce goroutine contention if it causes problems.
(However note that if using ``--archive-inmem`` each process will allocate its own copy of the database in RAM; in such cases it is highly recommended to use ``--archive-mmap``.)
``--archive``
``--archive <path>``
The path of the CDB file that contains the archived static website content.
(It can be created with the ``kawipiko-archiver`` tool.)

* it is highly recommended to use ``--archive-inmem`` or ``--archive-mmap`` or else (especially if data is indexed) the net effect is that of loading everything in RAM;
``--security-headers-tls``
Enables adding the ``Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000`` and ``Content-Security-Policy: upgrade-insecure-requests`` to the response headers.
(Although at the moment ``kawipiko`` does not support HTTPS, it can be used behind a TLS terminator, load-balancer or proxy that do support HTTPS; therefore these headers instruct the browser to always use HTTPS for the served domain.)

``--security-headers-disable``

This argument can be used to benchmark the raw performance of the underlying Go and ``fasthttp`` performance; this is the upper limit on the achievable performance given the underlying technologies.
(From my own benchmarks ``kawipiko``'s adds only about ~15% overhead when actually serving the ``hello-world.cdb`` archive.)
``--profile-cpu`` and `--profile-mem``
``--delay <duration>``
Enables delaying each response with a certain amount (for example ``1s``, ``1ms``, etc.)
It can be used to simulate the real-world network latencies, perhaps to see how a site with many resources loads in various conditions.
(For example, see `an experiment <https://notes.volution.ro/v1/2019/08/notes/e8700e9a/>`__ I made with an image made out of 1425 tiles.)
(**Highly discouraged!**)
``--profile-cpu <path>`` and ``--profile-mem <path>``
Enables CPU and memory profiling using Go's profiling infrastructure.

The following is a list of the most important features that are currently missing and are planed to be implemented:
* support for HTTPS; (although for HTTPS it is strongly recommended to use a dedicated TLS terminator like HAProxy_;)
* support for custom HTTP response headers (for specific files, for specific folders, etc.); (currently only ``Content-Type``, ``Content-Length``, ``Content-Encoding`` and optionally ``ETag`` is included; additionally ``Cache-Control: public, immutable, max-age=3600`` and a few security related headers are also included;)
* support for mapping virtual hosts to key prefixes; (currently virtual hosts, i.e. the ``Host`` header, are ignored;)
