couchdb: Start CouchDB as a background process.

couchdb

$ couchdb -b

try on your machine

The command "couchdb -b" is used to start the CouchDB server in the background. Here's a breakdown of the command:

"couchdb" is the name of the executable file or command that is used to run the CouchDB server. It is the main command to start and manage the CouchDB server.
The "-b" option is a command line flag or option that stands for "background." By using this option, the CouchDB server will start running as a background process or daemon. This means that once the server starts, it will run in the background without occupying the terminal or command prompt window.

In summary, when you execute the "couchdb -b" command, it starts the CouchDB server and allows it to run in the background, freeing up the terminal or command prompt for other tasks.
