NAME
     altqd -- ALTQ daemon

SYNOPSIS
     altqd [-dv] [-f conf_file]

DESCRIPTION
     altqd is a daemon program that reads a configuration file and then sets up the ALTQ state of network interfaces.  After configuring the ALTQ
     state, altqd will detach and become a daemon.

     The signals SIGINT or SIGTERM will shutdown altqd, and the signal SIGHUP will restart altqd.

     The following options are available:

     -d 	 Debug mode.  altqd does not detach and goes into the command mode.

     -f conf_file
		 Specify a configuration file to read instead of the default.  The default file is /etc/altq.conf.

     -v 	 Print debugging information.  This option implies -d.

COMMANDS
     When -d option is provided, altqd goes into the command mode after reading the configuration file and setting up the ALTQ state.  Each com-
     mand is a single line, starting with the command verb.

     The basic commands are as follows:

     help | ?
	   Display a complete list of commands and their syntax.

     quit  Exit.

     altq reload
	   Reload the configuration file and reinitialize ALTQ.

     altq interface [enable|disable]
	   Enables or disables ALTQ on the interface named interface.  When altqd enters the command mode, ALTQ is enabled on all the interfaces
	   listed in the configuration file.
