SYNOPSIS

       skywalkctl [ -f OUTFILE ] <command> [ <args> ]

DESCRIPTION

       skywalkctl  is a utility used to interact with the Skywalk subsystem, which provides the plumbing between various networking-related pieces
       of software and hardware.  It should only be used in a test and debug context. Using it for any other purpose is strongly discouraged.
