NAME

       teamd — team network device control daemon

SYNOPSIS

       teamd -k [-p pid_file] [-g]
       teamd -e [-p pid_file] [-g]
       teamd -c config_text [-p pid_file] [-gdrD] [-Z address]
       teamd -f config_file [-p pid_file] [-gdrD] [-Z address]
       teamd -h|-V

DESCRIPTION

       teamd  is  a daemon to control a given team network device, during runtime, as a puppeteer
       controls a puppet. It uses libteam to communicate with the kernel team device instance via
       Netlink  sockets. The behaviour depends on the selected runner and its configuration. This
       daemon is part of the libteam project.

       -k, --kill

       -e, --check
              Return 0 if a daemon is already running.

              Load the specified configuration file.

       -c text, --config text
              Use given JSON format configuration string. If  this  option  is  present  then  -f

              Use the specified PID file.

       -g, --debug
              Turns on debugging messages. Repeating the option increases verbosity.

       -N, --no-quit-destroy
              This option also ensures that the team device is not removed after teamd finishes.

       -t devicename, --team-dev devicename
              Use the specified team device name (overrides "device" key in the configuration).

       -n, --no-ports
              Start without ports, even if they are listed in the configuration.

       -D, --dbus-enable
              Enable D-Bus interface.

       -Z address, --zmq-enable address
