callfcgi - FastCGI request handler for ashd(7)

callfcgi [-h] [-N RETRIES] [-i ID] [-u UNIXPATH] [-t [HOST:]TCPPORT] [PROGRAM [ARGS…]]

The callfcgi handler uses FastCGI to call an external handler for requests. callfcgi is a persistent handler, as defined in ashd(7).

callfcgi works identically to the callscgi(1) program in all respects except using the FastCGI protocol rather then the SCGI protocol, so see the manpage for callscgi for all the details.

In relation to the FastCGI protocol, it should be noted that callfcgi does not multiplex several requests over one opened FastCGI connection, but rather opens one connection for each request. For running multiple instances of the FastCGI server program, please see the multifscgi(1) program.
