NAME
       babeld - a BABEL ad-hoc network routing engine for use with Quagga routing software.

SYNOPSIS
       babeld [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -P vty-port-number ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]

DESCRIPTION
       babeld is a routing component that works with the Quagga routing engine.

OPTIONS
       Options available for the babeld command:

OPTIONS
       -d, --daemon
	      Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

       -f, --config-file config-file
	      Specifies the config file to use for startup. If not specified this option will likely default to /usr/local/etc/babeld.conf.

       -g, --group group
	      Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

       -h, --help
	      A brief message.

       -i, --pid_file pid-file
	      When  babeld starts its process identifier is written to pid-file.  The init system uses the recorded PID to stop or restart babeld.
	      The likely default is /var/run/babeld.pid.

       -P, --vty_port port-number
	      Specify the port that the babeld VTY will listen on. This defaults to 2602, as specified in /etc/services.

       -A, --vty_addr vty-address
	      Specify the address that the babeld VTY will listen on. Default is all interfaces.

       -u, --user user
	      Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.

       -v, --version
	      Print the version and exit.

FILES
       /usr/local/sbin/babeld
	      The default location of the babeld binary.

       /usr/local/etc/babeld.conf
	      The default location of the babeld config file.

       $(PWD)/babeld.log
	      If the babeld process is config'd to output logs to a file, then you will find this file in the directory where you started babeld.

WARNING
       This man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line options. The definitive document is the Info file Quagga.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The babeld process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file, or through syslog to the system logs. babeld supports  many  debug-
       ging options, see the Info file, or the source for details.
