NAME
       pimd - a PIM routing for use with Quagga Routing Suite.

SYNOPSIS
       pimd  [	-dhvZ  ]  [  -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -z path ] [ -P
       port-number ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]

DESCRIPTION
       pimd is a protocol-independent multicast component that works with  the
       Quagga Routing Suite.

OPTIONS
       Options available for the pimd command:

       -d, --daemon
	      Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

       -f, --config-file config-file
	      Specifies	 the  config file to use for startup. If not specified
	      this option will likely default to /usr/local/etc/pimd.conf.

       -g, --group group
	      Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

       -h, --help
	      A brief message.

       -i, --pid_file pid-file
	      When pimd starts its process identifier is written to  pid-file.
	      The  init	 system uses the recorded PID to stop or restart pimd.
	      The likely default is /var/run/pimd.pid.

       -z, --socket path
	      Specify the socket path for contacting the  zebra	 daemon.   The
	      likely default is /var/run/zserv.api.

       -P, --vty_port port-number
	      Specify the port that the pimd VTY will listen on. This defaults
	      to 2611, as specified in /etc/services.

       -A, --vty_addr vty-address
	      Specify the address that the pimd VTY will listen on. Default is
	      all interfaces.

       -u, --user user
	      Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.

       -v, --version
	      Print the version and exit.

       -Z, --debug_zclient
	      Enable logging information for zclient debugging.

FILES
       /usr/local/sbin/pimd
	      The default location of the pimd binary.

       /usr/local/etc/pimd.conf
	      The default location of the pimd config file.

       /var/run/pimd.pid
	      The default location of the pimd pid file.

       /var/run/zserv.api
	      The default location of the zebra unix socket file.

       $(PWD)/pimd.log
	      If  the  pimd process is config'd to output logs to a file, then
	      you will find this file in the directory where you started pimd.

WARNING

       or through syslog to the system logs.
