Overview

Concrete tool for parsing and validating Triton Inference Server command-line arguments, defining the TritonServerParameters structure and TritonParser parsing interface.

Description

The TritonParser class and TritonServerParameters struct form the configuration entry point for the Triton server executable. TritonServerParameters is a comprehensive struct holding all configurable server settings including model repository paths, endpoint addresses, logging levels, tracing options, caching configuration, rate limiting, and GPU memory pool sizes. TritonParser parses argc/argv into this struct, validating constraints and dependencies.

Usage

Used internally by main.cc to parse server startup arguments. Not directly imported by users, but defines the complete set of configurable options exposed through the tritonserver command-line interface.

Server Startup Parsing

#include "command_line_parser.h"

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  // Parse all command-line arguments into structured parameters
  triton::server::TritonParser parser;
  triton::server::TritonServerParameters params = parser.Parse(argc, argv);

  // Access parsed configuration
  for (const auto& repo : params.model_repository_paths_) {
    std::cout << "Model repository: " << repo << std::endl;
  }
}
