lsdistcc(1)lsdistcc(1)NAMElsdistcc - simple distcc server discovery
SYNOPSISlsdistcc [OPTIONS] [FORMAT]
lsdistcc [OPTIONS] host1 ...
DESCRIPTIONlsdistcc autodetects listening distcc servers either by looking in DNS
for hosts named according to a given FORMAT, or by checking the host
names given on the command line.
Hosts are considered good servers based solely on whether their name
fits the format and whether they are listening on the right port (and
optionally whether they respond when you send them a compile job).
Scans for hosts named according to FORMAT (default is "distcc%d"; see
printf(3)) and starting from 1, so hosts such as distcc1, distcc2, and
so on. Stops after 7 seconds or the first host name that does not
resolve. Prints the names of all such servers listening on distcc's
port.
If a list of host names is given in the command line, lsdistcc will
only check those hosts.
OPTIONS--help Displays summary instructions
-l Output latency in milliseconds after each hostname (not includ‐
ing DNS latency)
-n Print IP address rather than name
-x Append ,down to down hosts in host list
-tTIMEOUT
Set number of seconds to stop searching after [7]
-hHTIMEOUT
Set number of milliseconds before retrying gethostbyname [500]
-cCTIMEOUT
Set number of milliseconds before giving up on connect [900] (0
to inhibit connect)
-kKTIMEOUT
Set number of milliseconds before giving up on compile [1500] (0
to inhibit compile)
-mBITS Set number of bits of address that must match first host found
[0]
-oOVERLAP
Set number of extra DNS requests to send [1]
-gDNSGAP
Set number of missing DNS entries to tolerate [0]
-rPORT Port to connect to [3632]
-PPROTOCOL
Protocol version to use (1-3) [1]
-pCOMPILER
Name of compiler to use [none]
-d Append DNS domain name to format
-v Verbose
EXAMPLES
Scan for servers named distcc1, distcc2, ... that provide a compiler
named gcc-4.6 and include their latencies in the output:
$ lsdistcc-l -pgcc-4.6
Scan for a compiler named gcc-4.6 on the servers hosta, somehost,
hostx, and hosty:
$ lsdistcc-pgcc-4.6 hosta somehost hostx hosty
To use the program in a build script, add the lines:
DISTCC_HOSTS=`lsdistcc`
export DISTCC_HOSTS
before the line that invokes make. Or, in a Makefile, add the line:
export DISTCC_HOSTS = $(shell lsdistcc)
EXIT STATUS
The exit status is 0 if any servers were found, and 1 otherwise.
Uses 'for i=1... sprintf(format, i)' to construct names of servers,
stops after 7 seconds or at second server that doesn't resolve, prints
the names of all such servers listening on distcc's port. Default for‐
mat is distcc%d.
