NAME
       wd_identify - a simplified software watchdog daemon

SYNOPSIS
       wd_identify [-c filename|--config-file filename]

DESCRIPTION
       This  utility  opens  /dev/watchdog  and gets the identification string
       from the watchdog which then is printed. The device  is	closed	after‐
       wards.

       The  wd_identify tool can only be used without causing a reboot if your
       kernel is compiled with the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option enabled.

       Watchdog and/or wd_keepalive may have to be stopped to make  sure  that
       wd_identify can access the watchdog device.

OPTIONS
       Available command line options are the following:

       -c config-file, --config-file config-file
	      Use config-file as the configuration file instead of the default
	      /etc/watchdog.conf.

FILES
       /dev/watchdog
	      The watchdog device.

SEE ALSO
