-Summary:     -b option not documented
 Reported By: atomo64 at gmail dot com
 Status:      Verified
 Bug Type:    Documentation problem
 PHP Version: Irrelevant
 New Comment:

The CLI and CGI information differs, so this report is now specific to

fastcgi. There are several directives that appear specific to CGI:

  -b <address:port>|<port> Bind Path for external FASTCGI Server mode
  -C               Do not chdir to the script's directory
  -q               Quiet-mode.  Suppress HTTP Header output.
  -T <count>   Measure execution time of script repeated <count> 
times.

And several are specific to CLI, or at least are not showing up in the

CGI help (sapi/cgi/php -h):

  -r <code>        Run PHP <code> without using script tags <?..?>
  -B <begin_code>  Run PHP <begin_code> before processing input lines
  -R <code>        Run PHP <code> for every input line
  -F <file>        Parse and execute <file> for every input line
  -E <end_code>    Run PHP <end_code> after processing all input lines
  -H               Hide any passed arguments from external tools.
  -z <file>        Load Zend extension <file>.
  args...          Arguments passed to script. Use -- args when first 
argument
                   starts with - or script is read from stdin

  --ini            Show configuration file names

  --rf <name>      Show information about function <name>.
  --rc <name>      Show information about class <name>.
  --re <name>      Show information about extension <name>.
  --ri <name>      Show configuration for extension <name>.

So, I suppose it's time to make features.commandline CLI and something

else for CGI (which is now always FastCGI).

Jakub, adding it on the features.commandline pages might be ideal where
the other command line switches for using php on command line is :)

On which page this should be documented?

Description:
------------
The -b option used for running the fastcgi server, is not documented 
in the manual pages.
