From 6b4c974d5a1a8d12831a6b0de72104368851b5a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouke Witteveen Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2012 00:34:18 +0100 Subject: Overhaul of documentation - Documentation now uses asciidoc instead of pandoc. - Documentation is updated. - More documentation is installed. - The Makefile has been revised. - Autocompletion files must now be installed through the PKGBUILD. - contrib/11netcfg has been deleted. It is unmaintained and duplicated in pm-utils. This closes FS#25587. - contrib/common.hook has been deleted. It demonstrated a feature that the target audience is already familiar with and didn't work anyway. This closes FS#27496. Developers are free to write unwieldy scripts in the {PRE,POST}_{UP,DOWN} variables. --- docs/netcfg.8.txt | 90 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 90 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/netcfg.8.txt (limited to 'docs/netcfg.8.txt') diff --git a/docs/netcfg.8.txt b/docs/netcfg.8.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a878ba3 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/netcfg.8.txt @@ -0,0 +1,90 @@ +NETCFG(8) +========= + +NAME +---- +netcfg - start/stop/control network profiles + + +SYNOPSIS +-------- +netcfg [_options_] + +netcfg *profile* + + +DESCRIPTION +----------- +*netcfg* is used to configure and manage network connections via +profiles. It has pluggable support for a range of connection types, such +as wireless, ethernet, ppp. It is also capable of starting/stopping many +to one connections, that is, multiple connections within the same +profile, optionally with bonding. + +It may be run at boot, by enabling the '/etc/rc.d/net-profiles' daemon +in '/etc/rc.conf' +DAEMONS+ line. After boot time, it may be used to +start profiles, simply by passing only the profile name. + +When run without options, `netcfg profile` is equivalent to `netcfg -u +profile`. + + +OPTIONS +------- +*-l, list*:: + List all available profiles +*current*:: + Report currently running profiles +*-c, check-iface* _profile_:: + Start the specified profile, only if it's interface is not currently up. +*-u, up* _profile_:: + Start the specified profile +*-r, reconnect* _profile_:: + Disconnect and reconnect the specified profile +*-R, iface-recon* _interface_:: + Reconnect profile active on specified interface +*-d, down* _profile_:: + Stop the specified profile +*-i, iface-down* _interface_:: + Stop the profile up on the specified interface. +*-a, all-down*:: + Stop all connected profiles +*all-suspend*:: + Suspend and store the name of all active profiles. +*all-resume*:: + Reconnect any profiles that have been suspended. +*-v, --version*:: + Display version information and exit +*-h, --help*:: + Display help message and exit + + +CONFIGURATION FILES +------------------- +'/etc/conf.d/netcfg':: + Parameters for startup. +'/etc/network.d/':: + User-defined profiles. + + +FILES +----- +'/usr/lib/network/connections/':: + Currently installed network profile types. +'/etc/network.d/examples/':: + Example profiles. +'/usr/share/doc/netcfg/contrib/':: + Inspirational scripts. + + +ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES +--------------------- ++NETCFG_DEBUG+:: + Set to 1 to activate debug output. + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +*netcfg-profiles*(5) on how to configure netcfg. + +include::footer.txt[] -- cgit v1.2.3-24-g4f1b
