--api-allow Allow API access (if enabled) only to the given list of [W:]IP[/Prefix] address[/subnets]

W: in front of the IP address gives that address privileged access to all api commands
--api-description Description placed in the API status header (default: cgminer version)
--api-listen Listen for API requests (default: disabled)
By default any command that does not just display data returns access denied
See --api-allow to overcome this
--api-network Allow API (if enabled) to listen on/for any address (default: only 127.0.0.1)
--api-port Port number of miner API (default: 4028)
--auto-fan Automatically adjust all GPU fan speeds to maintain a target temperature

If you add the "--api-network" option, it will accept API requests from any
network attached computer.
You can only access the comands that reply with data in this mode.
By default, you cannot access any privileged command that affects the miner -
you will receive an access denied status message see --api-access below.
You can specify IP addresses/prefixes that are only allowed to access the API
with the "--api-access" option e.g. --api-access 192.168.0.1,10.0.0/24
with the "--api-access" option e.g. --api-access W:192.168.0.1,10.0.0/24
will allow 192.168.0.1 or any address matching 10.0.0.*, but nothing else
IP addresses are automatically padded with extra '.0's as needed
Without a /prefix is the same as specifying /32
0/0 means all IP addresses.
The 'W:' on the front gives that address/subnet privileged access to commands
that modify cgminer.
Without it those commands return an access denied status.
Privileged access is checked in the order the IP addresses were supplied to
"--api-access"
The first match determines the privilege level.
Using the "--api-access" option overides the "--api-network" option if they
are both specified
With "--api-access", 127.0.0.1 is not by default given access unless specified
