NAME
     dvmrpd - Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS
     dvmrpd [-dnv] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION
     dvmrpd is the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) daemon
     which manages multicast routing tables.  Its main purpose is keeping mul-
     ticast routing tables in sync.

     A running dvmrpd can be controlled with the dvmrpctl(8) utility.

     The options are as follows:

     -d      Do not daemonize.  If this option is specified, dvmrpd will run
             in the foreground and log to stderr.

     -f file
             Specify an alternative configuration file.

     -n      Configtest mode.  Only check the configuration file for validity.

     -v      Produce more verbose output.

FILES
     /etc/dvmrpd.conf        Default dvmrpd configuration file.
     /var/run/dvmrpd.sock    Unix-domain socket used for communication with
                             dvmrpctl(8).
