svnserve
svnserve lets you access Subversion repositories using the svn network protocol. You
can run svnserve either as a standalone server process, or you can have another pro-
cess, such as
inetd, xinetd or sshd, launch it for you.
Once the client has selected a repository by transmitting its URL,
svnserve reads a
file named conf/svnserve.conf in the repository directory to determine repository-spe-
cific settings such as what authentication database to use and what authorization
policies to apply. See “svnserve; A Custom Server” in Chapter 6 for details of the
svnserve.conf file.

svnserve is controlled exclusively by switches.

--listen-port=PORT

--listen-host=HOST
Causes svnserve to listen on the interface specified by HOST ...
