ggatel -- GEOM Gate local control utility SYNOPSIS
ggatel create [-v] [-o ro | wo | rw] [-s sectorsize] [-t timeout] [-u unit] path ggatel attach [-v] [-o ro | wo | rw] -u unit path ggatel destroy [-f] -u unit ggatel list [-v] [-u unit] DESCRIPTION
The ggatel utility is a local GEOM Gate class consumer. It can be used as a replacement for md(4) devices or as a ``GEOMificator'' for non GEOM-aware devices, but it was mainly created as an example on how to use and how to communicate with the GEOM Gate kernel module. Available commands: create Create a ggate provider related to the given regular file or device. attach Attach a worker process to an existing ggate provider. destroy Destroy the given ggate provider. list List ggate providers. Available options: -f Forcibly destroy ggate provider (cancels all pending requests). -o ro | wo | rw Specify permission to use when opening the file or device: read-only (ro), write-only (wo), or read-write (rw). Default is rw. -s sectorsize Sector size for ggate provider. If not specified, it is taken from device, or set to 512 bytes for files. -t timeout Number of seconds to wait before an I/O request will be canceled. 0 means no timeout. Default is 30. -u unit Unit number to use. -v Do not fork, run in foreground and print debug informations on standard output. path Path to a regular file or device. EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, or 1 if the command fails. To get details about the failure, ggatel should be called with the -v option. EXAMPLES
``GEOMify'' the ``fd0'' device and use gbde(8) to encrypt data on a floppy. ggatel create -u 5 /dev/fd0 gbde init /dev/ggate5 gbde attach ggate5 newfs /dev/ggate5.bde mount /dev/ggate5.bde /secret cp /private/foo /secret/ umount /secret gbde detach ggate5 ggatel destroy -u 5 SEE ALSO

ggatec -- GEOM Gate network client and control utility SYNOPSIS
ggatec create [-n] [-v] [-o ro | wo | rw] [-p port] [-q queue_size] [-R rcvbuf] [-S sndbuf] [-s sectorsize] [-t timeout] [-u unit] host path ggatec rescue [-n] [-v] [-o ro | wo | rw] [-p port] [-R rcvbuf] [-S sndbuf] -u unit host path ggatec destroy [-f] -u unit ggatec list [-v] [-u unit] DESCRIPTION
The ggatec utility is a network client for GEOM Gate class. It is responsible for creation of ggate devices and forwarding I/O requests between geom_gate.ko kernel module and ggated(8) network daemon. Available commands: create Connect to given ggated(8) daemon and create a ggate provider related to the given remote file or device. rescue If ggatec process died/has been killed, you can save situation with this command, which creates new connection to the ggated(8) dae- mon and will handle pending and future requests. destroy Destroy the given ggate provider. list List ggate providers. Available options: -f Forcibly destroy ggate provider (cancels all pending requests). -n Do not use TCP_NODELAY option on TCP sockets. -o ro | wo | rw Specify permission to use when opening the file or device: read-only (ro), write-only (wo), or read-write (rw). Default is rw. -p port Port to connect to on the remote host. Default is 3080. -q queue_size Number of pending I/O requests that can be queued before they will start to be canceled. Default is 1024. -R rcvbuf Size of receive buffer to use. Default is 131072 (128kB). -S sndbuf Size of send buffer to use. Default is 131072 (128kB). -s sectorsize Sector size for ggate provider. If not specified, it is taken from device, or set to 512 bytes for files. -t timeout Number of seconds to wait before an I/O request will be canceled. 0 means no timeout. Default is 0. -u unit Unit number to use. -v Do not fork, run in foreground and print debug informations on standard output. host Remote host to connect to. path Path to a regular file or device. EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, or 1 if the command fails. To get details about the failure, ggatec should be called with the -v option. EXAMPLES
