NAME

       libvdeplug_hub - multiplexing vdeplug module: hub

SYNOPSIS

       libvdeplug_hub.so

DESCRIPTION

       This is a libvdeplug multiplex module implementing a virtual networking hub.

       This  module  of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm,
       qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox.

       The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
              hub://[path]
              hub://[path][[OPTION][/OPTION][/OPTION]...]

       If path is omitted the path of the hub is /tmp/vdenode_$USERNAME  (e.g.  /tmp/vdenode_john
       if the username is john).

OPTIONS

       mode=MODE
              define  the  permissions  for  the  hub  (see chmod). MODE is an octal number.  The
              standard permission mask is: 0600 (only processes owning to the same user can  join
              the network).

       dirmode=DIRMODE
              define  the  permissions for the hub control directory(see chmod). MODE is an octal
              number.  If omitted, is computed from mode.

       grp=GROUP
              define the group ownership of the hub.

EXAMPLES

       hub:///tmp/hub
       Other virtual machines, namespaces or vde_plug can join this hub using  vde:///tmp/hub  or
       simply /tmp/hub
       hub:///tmp/hub[mode=0666]
       It is the same hub, but everybody is allowed to connect their processes.
