NAME

       slpd - SLPv2 Service Agent (SA)/Directory Agent (DA)

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/slpd [-d] [-c configfile] [-r registrationfile] [-l logfile] [-p pidfile]

DESCRIPTION

       slpd  is  an SLPv2 compliant Service Agent and (optionally) Directory Agent.  It listens for SLP requests
       on port 427, responding to the SLP User Agents and (when running  as  a  DA)  Service  Agents.   slpd  is
       typically invoked at boot time, usually out of /etc/init.d/slpd .

OPTIONS

       -d     Don't detach from the controlling tty

       -f configfile
              Use  configfile  as  the  file  slpd  reads  to  obtain configuration information, rather than the
              default, /etc/slpd.conf .

       -r registrationfile
              Use registrationfile as the file that slpd reads to obtain static registrations, rather  than  the
              default, /etc/slpd.rej.

       -l logfile
              Use  logfile  as  the  file  that  slpd  reads  to  write  log  messages, rather than the default,
              /var/log/slpd.log.

       -p pidfile
              Use  pidfile  as  the  file  that  holds  the  slpd  process  id,   rather   than   the   default,
              /var/run/slpd.pid.
