PIM6STAT(1)

NAME
pim6stat - show PIM for IPv6 status

SYNOPSIS
pim6stat [-ds] [-f dumpfile] [-p pidfile] [-w waitsec]

DESCRIPTION
pim6stat shows status or statistics of the PIM for IPv6 daemon currently running. When invoked, it sends a signal to let the daemon dump its internal status to a file, waits for dumping, and outputs the content of the file to standard output.

Options supported by pim6stat:

-d  specifies to show the status of a dense mode daemon (if running). By default, pim6stat assumes sparse mode.

-f  specifies the dumpfile to which the PIM daemon dumps its status.

-p  specifies the PID file of the currently running daemon.

-s  specifies to dump statistics instead of status (for sparse mode only).

-w  specifies the wait period in seconds between sending a signal to the daemon and dumping the status or statistics to the dumpfile.

FILES

/var/run/pim6dd.pid

/var/run/pim6dd.dump
