NAME

       tipc - a TIPC configuration and management tool

SYNOPSIS

       tipc [ OPTIONS ] COMMAND ARGUMENTS

       COMMAND := { bearer | link | media | nametable | node | socket }

       OPTIONS := { -h[help] }

DESCRIPTION

       The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers total address
       transparency between processes which allows applications in a clustered computer
       environment to communicate quickly and reliably with each other, regardless of their
       location within the cluster.

       TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The first open source
       version of TIPC was created in 2000 when Ericsson released its first Linux version of
       TIPC. TIPC was introduced in the mainline Linux kernel in 2006 and is now widely used both
       within and outside of Ericsson.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show help about last given command. For example tipc bearer --help will show bearer
              help and tipc --help will show general help. The position of the option in the
              string is irrelevant.

       -j, -json
              Output results in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).

       -p, -pretty
              The default JSON format is compact and more efficient to parse but hard for most
              users to read.  This flag adds indentation for readability.

COMMANDS

       BEARER - Show or modify TIPC bearers

       LINK   - Show or modify TIPC links

       MEDIA  - Show or modify TIPC media

       NAMETABLE
              - Show TIPC nametable

       NODE   - Show or modify TIPC node parameters

       SOCKET - Show TIPC sockets

ARGUMENTS

       Command arguments are described in a command specific man page and typically consists of
       nested commands along with key value pairs.  If no arguments are given a command typically
       shows its help text. The explicit help option -h or --help can occur anywhere among the
       arguments and will show help for the last valid command given.

EXIT STATUS

       Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer upon failure.
