NAME

       mheardd - collect information about packet activity

SYNOPSIS

       mheardd [-f] [-l] [-n number] [-p [!]port1[,port2,..]] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       Mheardd  is  a  daemon  that  collects  the statistics about the activity on all the AX.25
       channels that are configured. The list generated is available for viewing by the mheard(1)
       program.  The information collected is a superset of the information normally collected by
       similar mheard programs and this is reflected in the options  available  for  the  viewing
       program.  Logging  to  the  system log file may be enabled which will enable monitoring of
       pathalogical conditions, for example invalid frame types and invalid/unknown protocol IDs.

OPTIONS

       -f        Deletes the existing mheard logging file at program startup,  this  is  not  the
                 default.

       -l        Enables logging to the system log file. The default is off.

       -n number Sets  the  number  of entries in the activity list file, the default is 100. The
                 minimum value allowed is 10 and the maximum is 1000.

       -p [!]port1[,port2,..]
                 With -p, you instruct mheardd to only listen on specified ax25 ports.   You  may
                 give  more  ports,  seperated by ','.  If you introduce the port(s) by a leading
                 '!', then mheardd will listen on all ports except those you specified.

       -v        Display the version.
