			Some versions of Windows have limitations on the number of

		<refsect2>
			<title>MQTT v5.0</title>
			<para>
				Mosquitto provides full MQTT v5.0 support, but some features
				are not used directly. The following sections describe the new
				features and explain where Mosquitto does not make use of a feature.
			</para>

			<refsect3>
				<title>Features</title>
				<variablelist>
					<varlistentry>
						<term><option>Enhanced authentication</option></term>
						<listitem><para>
							Basic MQTT authentication uses username/password
							checks. Enhanced authentication allows different
							authentication schemes to be integrated into MQTT,
							and even those schemes with multiple step processes.
							Clients request a particular type of authentication
							and if the broker is configured for that scheme the
							authentication continues. Mosquitto supports
							enhanced authentication through plugins.
						</para></listitem>
					</varlistentry>
					<varlistentry>
						<term><option>Error handling</option></term>
						<listitem><para>
							Most MQTT packets now have the concept of a
							<option>reason code</option>
							which indicates success or failure, and what the failure
							was. Mosquitto provides full support for reason codes,
							but does not make use of the
							<option>reason string</option>
							feature which can be used to provide a human readable
							error string to explain the reason code.
						</para></listitem>
					</varlistentry>
					<varlistentry>
						<term><option>Flow control</option></term>
						<listitem><para>
							The number of "in flight" messages for QoS 1 and QoS
							2 can be controlled by both the client and the
							broker.
						</para></listitem>
					</varlistentry>
					<varlistentry>
						<term><option>Request / response</option></term>
						<listitem><para>
							MQTT v5.0 adds a request/response pattern that
							allows a client to publish a message and instruct
							the subscribers of that message where to publish a
							response.
						</para></listitem>
					</varlistentry>
					<varlistentry>
						<term><option>Server redirection</option></term>
						<listitem><para>
							Server redirection is the concept of telling a
							client to connect to a different MQTT broker, either
							on CONNECT or with a broker initiated DISCONNECT.
							Mosquitto does not currently make use of this
							feature.
						</para></listitem>
					</varlistentry>
					<varlistentry>
						<term><option>Shared subscriptions</option></term>
						<listitem><para>
							When multiple clients subscribe to the same shared
							subscription, only one client out of the group will
							receive each message which allows for distributing
							work loads.
						</para></listitem>
					</varlistentry>
				</variablelist>

		<title>Wildcard Topic Subscriptions</title>
		<para>In addition to allowing clients to subscribe to specific topics,
		mosquitto also allows the use of two wildcards in subscriptions.
		<option>+</option> is the wildcard used to match a single level of
		hierarchy. For example, for a topic of "a/b/c/d", the following example
		subscriptions will match:</para>
		<itemizedlist mark="circle">
			<listitem><para>a/b/c/d</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>+/b/c/d</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>a/+/c/d</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>a/+/+/d</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>+/+/+/+</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
		<para>The following subscriptions will not match:</para>
		<itemizedlist mark="circle">
			<listitem><para>a/b/c</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>b/+/c/d</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>+/+/+</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
		<para>The second wildcard is <option>#</option> and is used to match
		all subsequent levels of hierarchy. With a topic of "a/b/c/d", the
		following example subscriptions will match:</para>
		<itemizedlist mark="circle">
			<listitem><para>a/b/c/d</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>#</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>a/#</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>a/b/#</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>a/b/c/#</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>+/b/c/#</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
		<para>The $SYS hierarchy does not match a subscription of
		"#". If you want to observe the entire $SYS hierarchy, subscribe to
		$SYS/#.</para>
		<para>Note that the wildcards must be only ever used on their own, so a
		subscription of "a/b+/c" is not valid use of a wildcard. The
		<option>#</option> wildcard must only ever be used as the final
		character of a subscription.</para>
	</refsect1>

	<refsect1>
		<title>Bridges</title>
		<para>Multiple brokers can be connected together with the bridging
		functionality. This is useful where it is desirable to share
		information between locations, but where not all of the information
		needs to be shared. An example could be where a number of users are
		running a broker to help record power usage and for a number of other
		reasons. The power usage could be shared through bridging all of the
		user brokers to a common broker, allowing the power usage of all
		users to be collected and compared. The other information would remain
		local to each
		broker.</para>

		<title>Signals</title>
		<para>
			On POSIX systems Mosquitto can receive signals and act on them as
			described below. To send signals, use e.g.
			<command>kill -HUP &lt;process id of mosquitto&gt;</command>
		</para>
		<variablelist>
			<varlistentry>
				<term>SIGHUP</term>
				<listitem>
					<para>Upon receiving the SIGHUP signal, mosquitto will
					attempt to reload configuration file data, assuming that
					the <option>-c</option> argument was provided when
					mosquitto was started. Not all configuration parameters can
					be reloaded without restarting. See
					<citerefentry><refentrytitle><link xlink:href="mosquitto-conf-5.html">mosquitto.conf</link></refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
					for details.</para>
					<para>If TLS certificates are in use, then mosquitto will
					also reload certificate on receiving a SIGHUP.</para>
				</listitem>
			</varlistentry>
			<varlistentry>
				<term>SIGUSR1</term>
				<listitem>
					<para>Upon receiving the SIGUSR1 signal, mosquitto will
					write the persistence database to disk. This signal is only
					acted upon if persistence is enabled.</para>
				</listitem>
			</varlistentry>
			<varlistentry>
				<term>SIGUSR2</term>
				<listitem>
					<para>The SIGUSR2 signal causes mosquitto to print out the
					current subscription tree, along with information about
					where retained messages exist. This is intended as a
					testing feature only and may be removed at any time.</para>
