NAME

       teamd -- team network device control daemon

SYNOPSIS

       teamd -k [-p pid_file] [-g]
       teamd -e [-p pid_file] [-g]
       teamd -c config_text [-p pid_file] [-gdrD] [-Z address]
       teamd -f config_file [-p pid_file] [-gdrD] [-Z address]
       teamd -h|-V

DESCRIPTION

       teamd  is a daemon to control a given team network device, during runtime, as a puppeteer controls a puppet. It uses libteam to communicate
       with the kernel team device instance via Netlink sockets. The behaviour depends on the selected runner and its configuration.  This  daemon
       is part of the libteam project.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Print help text to console and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Print version information to console and exit.

	      Daemonize after startup.

       -k, --kill
	      Kill running daemon instance.

       -e, --check
	      Return 0 if a daemon is already running.

       -f filename, --config-file filename
	      Load the specified configuration file.

       -c text, --config text
	      Use given JSON format configuration string. If this option is present then -f option will be ignored.

       -p filename, --pid-file filename
	      Use the specified PID file.

       -g, --debug
	      Turns on debugging messages. Repeating the option increases verbosity.

	      Force team device recreation in case it already exists.

       -o, --take-over
	      Take over the device if it already exists. This option also ensures that the team device is not removed after teamd finishes.

	      Enable  ZMQ interface. Possible address formats are "tcp://ip:port", "ipc://path" and others. Detailed description of ZMQ library is
	      in page http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all.

       -U, --usock-enable
	      Enable UNIX domain socket interface. This is enabled by default.
