Help: serve
hg serve [OPTION]...
start stand-alone webserver
Start a local HTTP repository browser and pull server. You can use this for ad-hoc sharing and browsing of repositories. It is recommended to use a real web server to serve a repository for longer periods of time.
Please note that the server does not implement access control. This means that, by default, anybody can read from the server and nobody can write to it by default. Set the "web.allow_push" option to "*" to allow everybody to push to the server. You should use a real web server if you need to authenticate users.
By default, the server logs accesses to stdout and errors to stderr. Use the -A/--accesslog and -E/--errorlog options to log to files.
To have the server choose a free port number to listen on, specify a port number of 0; in this case, the server will print the port number it uses.
Returns 0 on success.
