--xml, -x
    Output as a .tax XML file rather than a pickle.

--source, -s
    Output as a .tas (AOT Python source) file rather than a pickle.

apptype
    Can be 'web', 'portforward', 'toc', 'coil', 'words', 'manhole', 'im', 'news', 'socks', 'telnet', 'parent', 'sibling', 'ftp', and 'mail'. Each of those support different options.

portforward options

-h, --host <host>
    Proxy connections to <host>

-d, --dest_port <port>
    Proxy connections to <port> on remote host.

-p, --port <port>
    Listen locally on <port>

web options

-u, --user
    Makes a server with ~/public_html and ~/.twistd-web-pb support for users.

--personal
    Instead of generating a webserver, generate a ResourcePublisher which listens on ~/.twistd-web-pb

--path <path>
    <path> is either a specific file or a directory to be set as the root of the web server. Use this if you have a directory full of HTML, cgi, php3, epy, or rpy files or any other files that you want to be served up raw.

-p, --port <port>
    <port> is a number representing which port you want to start the server on.

-m, --mime_type <mimetype>
    <mimetype> is the default MIME type to use for files in a --path web server when none can be determined for a particular extension. The default is 'text/html'.

--allow_ignore_ext
    Specify whether or not a request for 'foo' should return 'foo.ext'. Default is off.

--ignore-ext .<extension>
    Specify that a request for 'foo' should return 'foo.<extension>'.

-t, --telnet <port>
    Run a telnet server on <port>, for additional configuration later.

-i, --index <name>
    Use an index name other than "index.html"

--https <port>
    Port to listen on for Secure HTTP.

-c, --certificate <filename>
    SSL certificate to use for HTTPS. [default: server.pem]

-k, --privkey <filename>
    SSL certificate to use for HTTPS. [default: server.pem]

--processor <ext>=<class name>
    Adds a processor to those file names. (Only usable if after --path)

--resource-script <script name>
    Sets the root as a resource script. This script will be re-evaluated on every request.

This creates a web.tap file that can be used by twistd. If you specify no arguments, it will be a demo webserver that has the Test class from twisted.web.test in it.

toc options

-p <port>
    <port> is a number representing which port you want to start the server on.

mail options

-r, --relay <ip>,<port>=<queue directory>
    Relay mail to all unknown domains through given IP and port, using queue directory as temporary place to place files.

-u, --username <name>=<password>
    add a user/password to the last specified domains

-b, --bounce_to_postmaster
    undelivered mails are sent to the postmaster, instead of being rejected.

-p, --pop <port>
    <port> is a number representing which port you want to start the pop3 server on.

-s, --smtp <port>

This creates a mail.tap file that can be used by twistd(1)
