DESCRIPTION
GNU POP is an implementation of the Post Office Protocol server that conforms fully to the specifications in RFC 1939 (and later ones).

    Runs GNU POP in daemon mode with a maximum of MAXCHILDREN child processes.

-h, --help

-i, --inetd
    Runs GNU POP in inetd mode, reading from stdin and writing to stdout. This is the default.
