MULTIPATHC(8) System Manager's Manual MULTIPATHC(8)
NAME
multipathc - Interactive client for multipathd
SYNOPSIS
multipathc [ timeout ]
DESCRIPTION
The multipathc tool provides an interactive shell for communicating
with the multipathd daemon. The command multipathd -k invokes multi-
pathc.
All commands documented in multipathd(8) are supported. The available
commands can be viewed by entering 'help'. Use quit, exit, or CTRL-D
to exit the shell. Keywords can be abbreviated with the first letters
(for example, shu for shutdown), if the abbreviation is unique. Some
commands support pretty-printing using printf-style format specifiers.
The supported format specifiers can be listed with the command show
wildcards. Depending on build options, the interactive shell may pro-
vide command completion and history expansion features.
The optional parameter timeout specifies the timeout to wait for a re-
ply from multipathd, in milliseconds. The default is 4000 ms.
