  {bold.cyan serve} - Static file serving and directory listing

  {bold USAGE}

    {bold $} {cyan serve} --help
    {bold $} {cyan serve} --version
    {bold $} {cyan serve} folder_name
    {bold $} {cyan serve} [-l {underline listen_uri} [-l ...]] [{underline directory}]

    By default, {cyan serve} will listen on {bold 0.0.0.0:3000} and serve the
    current working directory on that address.

    Specifying a single {bold --listen} argument will overwrite the default, not supplement it.

  {bold OPTIONS}

    --help                              Shows this help message

    -v, --version                       Displays the current version of serve

    -l, --listen {underline listen_uri}             Specify a URI endpoint on which to listen (see below) -
                                        more than one may be specified to listen in multiple places

    -p                                  Specify custom port

    -d, --debug                         Show debugging information

    -s, --single                        Rewrite all not-found requests to \`index.html\`

    -c, --config                        Specify custom path to \`serve.json\`

    -C, --cors                          Enable CORS, sets \`Access-Control-Allow-Origin\` to \`*\`

    -n, --no-clipboard                  Do not copy the local address to the clipboard

    -u, --no-compression                Do not compress files

    --no-etag                           Send \`Last-Modified\` header instead of \`ETag\`

    -S, --symlinks                      Resolve symlinks instead of showing 404 errors
    
    --ssl-cert                          Optional path to an SSL/TLS certificate to serve with HTTPS
                                        {grey Supported formats: PEM (default) and PKCS12 (PFX)}
    
    --ssl-key                           Optional path to the SSL/TLS certificate\'s private key
                                        {grey Applicable only for PEM certificates}

    --ssl-pass                          Optional path to the SSL/TLS certificate\'s passphrase

    --no-port-switching                 Do not open a port other than the one specified when it\'s taken.

  {bold ENDPOINTS}

    Listen endpoints (specified by the {bold --listen} or {bold -l} options above) instruct {cyan serve}
    to listen on one or more interfaces/ports, UNIX domain sockets, or Windows named pipes.

    For TCP ports on hostname "localhost":

      {bold $} {cyan serve} -l {underline 1234}

    For TCP (traditional host/port) endpoints:

      {bold $} {cyan serve} -l tcp://{underline hostname}:{underline 1234}

    For UNIX domain socket endpoints:

      {bold $} {cyan serve} -l unix:{underline /path/to/socket.sock}

    For Windows named pipe endpoints:

      {bold $} {cyan serve} -l pipe:\\\\.\\pipe\\{underline PipeName}
