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 to-
tal 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 re-
leased 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 typ-
ically consists of nested commands along with key value pairs. If no
arguments are given a command typically shows its help text. The ex-
plicit 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.
