NAME
     ripd - Routing Information Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS
     ripd [-dnv] [-D macro=value] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION
     ripd is the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) daemon which manages
     routers' routing tables.

     A running ripd can be controlled with the ripctl(8) utility.

     The options are as follows:

     -D macro=value
             Define macro to be set to value on the command line.  Overrides
             the definition of macro in the configuration file.

     -d      Do not daemonize.  If this option is specified, ripd 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/ripd.conf        Default ripd configuration file.
     /var/run/ripd.sock    UNIX-domain socket used for communication with
                           ripctl(8).
