       pimd - a PIM routing for use with Quagga Routing Suite.

SYNOPSIS

       pimd [ -dhvZ ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -z path ] [ -P port-number ] [ -A vty-
       address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]

DESCRIPTION

       pimd is a protocol-independent multicast component that  works  with  the  Quagga  Routing
       Suite.

OPTIONS

       Options available for the pimd command:

       -d, --daemon
              Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

       -f, --config-file config-file
              Specifies  the  config  file  to use for startup. If not specified this option will
              likely default to /usr/local/etc/pimd.conf.

       -g, --group group
              Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

       -h, --help
              A brief message.

       -i, --pid_file pid-file
              When pimd starts its process identifier is written to pid-file.   The  init  system
              uses   the   recorded  PID  to  stop  or  restart  pimd.   The  likely  default  is
              /var/run/pimd.pid.

       -z, --socket path
              Specify the socket path for contacting the zebra daemon.   The  likely  default  is
              /var/run/zserv.api.

       -P, --vty_port port-number
              Specify  the  port  that  the  pimd  VTY  will listen on. This defaults to 2611, as
              specified in /etc/services.

       -A, --vty_addr vty-address
              Specify the address that the pimd VTY will listen on. Default is all interfaces.

       -u, --user user
              Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.

       -v, --version
              Print the version and exit.

       -Z, --debug_zclient
              Enable logging information for zclient debugging.

       $(PWD)/pimd.log

              file in the directory where you started pimd.
