Below are the commandline options for the TurboFloat Server. Some options only apply to certain platforms (e.g. Windows-only, etc.) and will be noted as such. All other options apply to all platforms.
For options that accept file paths (-pdets, -config, -areq, -aresp, -pidfile) you can use either relative or absolute filenames. If you use relative filenames please note that the path will be "relative" to the TurboFloat Server executable, not relative to the "current directory".
