--syslogsocket auto|<FILE>
-d dump configuration. For debugging
--dp, --dump-pretty
dump the configuration using more human readable representation
-t, --test
test configuration (can be also specified with start parameters)
-i interactive mode
-v increase verbosity
-q decrease verbosity
-x force execution of the server (remove socket file)
-b start server in background (default)
-f start server in foreground
--async
start server in async mode (for internal usage only, don't read configuration)

COMMAND
BASIC
start starts the server and the jails
restart
restarts the server
restart [--unban] [--if-exists] <JAIL>
restarts the jail <JAIL> (alias for 'reload --restart ... <JAIL>')

stop stops all jails and terminate the server

unban <IP> ... <IP>
unbans <IP> (in all jails and database)
banned return jails with banned IPs as dictionary
banned <IP> ... <IP>]
return list(s) of jails where given IP(s) are banned
status gets the current status of the server
ping tests if the server is alive
echo for internal usage, returns back and outputs a given string
help return this output
