The comma after "mode" should be a semicolon, and there should be a
comma after "that is".

I have a hard time understanding this as it stands. By my best guess at

Enable debug mode. Increases log verbosity, directs log messages to
stdout, and causes ffserver to run in the foreground rather than as a
daemon.
