NAME

       cockpit-bridge - Cockpit Host Bridge

SYNOPSIS

       cockpit-bridge [--help] [--packages]

DESCRIPTION

       The cockpit-bridge program is used by Cockpit to relay messages and commands from the Web
       front end to the server. Among other things it relays DBus, and spawns processes on behalf
       of the Web user interface.

       This program is not routinely run by users or administrators. It is in the $PATH so that
       Cockpit can find it when connecting between hosts. However there are some diagnostics
       available when running from the command line.

OPTIONS

       --help
           Show help options.

       --interact=boundary
           Interact with the raw cockpit1 protocol. Useful for debugging and testing. Specify a
           boundary which should be on an empty line between messages.

       --packages
           List all available Cockpit packages and exit. Note this includes packages available to
           the user running this command.

       --version
           Show Cockpit version information.
