+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+\fI\%mongod\fP is the primary daemon process for the MongoDB
+system. It handles data requests, manages data format, and performs
+background management operations.
+.sp
+This document provides a complete overview of all command line options
+for \fI\%mongod\fP. These options are primarily useful for testing
+purposes. In common operation, use the \fBconfiguration file
+options\fP to control the behavior of
+your database, which is fully capable of all operations described
+below.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B mongod
+.UNINDENT
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \-\-help, \-h
+Returns a basic help and usage text.
+.UNINDENT
+.INDENT 0.0

+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \-\-port <port>
+Specifies a TCP port for the \fI\%mongod\fP to listen for client
+connections. By default \fI\%mongod\fP listens for connections on
+port 27017.
+.sp
+UNIX\-like systems require root privileges to use ports with numbers
+lower than 1024.
+.UNINDENT
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \-\-bind_ip <ip address>
+The IP address that the \fI\%mongod\fP process will bind to and
+listen for connections. By default \fI\%mongod\fP listens for
+connections on the localhost (i.e. \fB127.0.0.1\fP address.) You may
+attach \fI\%mongod\fP to any interface; however, if you attach
+\fI\%mongod\fP to a publicly accessible interface ensure that
+you have implemented proper authentication and/or firewall
+restrictions to protect the integrity of your database.
+.UNINDENT
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \-\-maxConns <number>
+Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous connections that
+\fI\%mongod\fP will accept. This setting will have no effect if
+it is higher than your operating system\(aqs configured maximum
+connection tracking threshold.

+.RE
+.UNINDENT
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \-\-objcheck
+Forces the \fI\%mongod\fP to validate all requests from clients
+upon receipt to ensure that clients never insert invalid documents
+into the database. For objects with a high degree of sub\-document
+nesting, \fI\%--objcheck\fP can have a small impact on
+performance. You can set \fI\%--noobjcheck\fP to disable object
+checking at run\-time.
+.sp
+Changed in version 2.4: MongoDB enables \fI\%--objcheck\fP by default, to prevent any
+client from inserting malformed or invalid BSON into a MongoDB
+database.
+.UNINDENT

+logging information.
+.sp
+Unless specified, \fI\%mongod\fP will output all log information
+to the standard output. Additionally, unless you also specify
+\fI\%--logappend\fP, the logfile will be overwritten when the
+process restarts.
+.IP Note
+The behavior of the logging system may change in the near
+future in response to the \fI\%SERVER-4499\fP case.
+.RE
+.UNINDENT
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \-\-logappend
+When specified, this option ensures that \fI\%mongod\fP appends
+new entries to the end of the logfile rather than overwriting the
+content of the log when the process restarts.
+.UNINDENT
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \-\-syslog
+New in version 2.1.0.
+.sp
+Sends all logging output to the host\(aqs \fIsyslog\fP system rather

+.UNINDENT
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \-\-pidfilepath <path>
+Specify a file location to hold the "\fIPID\fP" or process ID of
+the \fI\%mongod\fP process. Useful for tracking the
+\fI\%mongod\fP process in combination with the \fI\%mongod --fork\fP
+option.

+.IP Warning
+Setting the diagnostic level to \fB0\fP will cause \fI\%mongod\fP
+to stop writing data to the \fIdiagnostic log\fP file. However,
+the \fI\%mongod\fP instance will continue to keep the file open,
+even if it is no longer writing data to the file. If you want to

+values increase the durability of the journal, at the expense of
+disk performance.
+.sp
+To force \fI\%mongod\fP to commit to the journal more frequently,
+you can specify \fBj:true\fP. When a write operation with \fBj:true\fP
