libnetcfg

LIBNETCFG(1)						 Perl Programmers Reference Guide					      LIBNETCFG(1)

NAME

       libnetcfg - configure libnet

DESCRIPTION

       The libnetcfg utility can be used to configure the libnet.  Starting from perl 5.8 libnet is part of the standard Perl distribution, but
       the libnetcfg can be used for any libnet installation.

USAGE

       Without arguments libnetcfg displays the current configuration.

	   $ libnetcfg
	   # old config ./libnet.cfg
	   daytime_hosts	ntp1.none.such
	   ftp_int_passive	0
	   ftp_testhost 	ftp.funet.fi
	   inet_domain		none.such
	   nntp_hosts		nntp.none.such
	   ph_hosts
	   pop3_hosts		pop.none.such
	   smtp_hosts		smtp.none.such
	   snpp_hosts
	   test_exist		1
	   test_hosts		1
	   time_hosts		ntp.none.such
	   # libnetcfg -h for help
	   $

       It tells where the old configuration file was found (if found).

       The "-h" option will show a usage message.

       To change the configuration you will need to use either the "-c" or the "-d" options.

       The default name of the old configuration file is by default "libnet.cfg", unless otherwise specified using the -i option, "-i oldfile",
       and it is searched first from the current directory, and then from your module path.

       The default name of the new configuration file is "libnet.cfg", and by default it is written to the current directory, unless otherwise
       specified using the -o option, "-o newfile".
