  22 --daemon                Indicate if the server should run in the background as a real
  23                         daemon, or in the foreground.
  24 --guardian              Run :program:`pdns_server` inside a guardian. This guardian monitors the
  25                         performance of the inner :program:`pdns_server` instance. It is also this
  26                         guardian that :program:`pdns_control`\ talks to.
  27 --control-console       Run the server in a special monitor mode. This enables detailed
  28                         logging and exposes the raw control socket.
  29 --loglevel=<LEVEL>      Set the logging level.
  30 --config                Show the currently configuration. There are three optional values:
  31                         --config=default show the default configuration.
  32                         --config=diff    show modified options in the curent configuration.
  33                         --config=check   parse the current configuration, with error checking.
  34 --help                  To view more options that are available use this program.
