ArangoDB Server Options
=======================
Usage: `arangod [<options>]`
The database directory can be specified as positional (unnamed) first parameter:
arangod /path/to/datadir
Or explicitly as named parameter:
arangod --database.directory /path/to/datadir
All other parameters need to be passed as named parameters.
That is two hyphens followed by the option name, an equals sign or a space and
finally the parameter value. The value needs to be wrapped in double quote marks
if the value contains whitespace. Extra whitespace around `=` is allowed:
arangod --database.directory = "/path with spaces/to/datadir"
See [Configuration](../../Administration/Configuration/README.md)
if you want to translate startup parameters to configuration files
or learn more about startup options in general.
See
[Fetch Current Configuration Options](../../Administration/Configuration/README.md#fetch-current-configuration-options)
if you want to query the `arangod` server for the current settings at runtime.
