RTQUERY(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RTQUERY(8)NAMErtquery - query routing daemons for their routing tables
SYNOPSISrtquery [-1np] [-r addr] [-t op] [-w timeout] host ...
DESCRIPTIONrtquery is used to query a RIPv1/2 network routing daemon for its routing
table by sending a request command. The routing information in any rout-
ing response packets returned is displayed numerically and symbolically.
rtquery is also used to turn tracing on or off.
See routed(8) for more information about a RIPv1/2 capable routing dae-
mon.
The options are as follows:
-1 Query using RIP version 1 instead of RIP version 2.
-n Normally network and host numbers are displayed both symbolically
and numerically. The -n option displays only the numeric network
and host numbers.
-p Uses the poll command to request full routing information, in-
stead of the default request command.
-r addr
Ask about the route to destination addr.
-t op Change tracing, where op is one of the following. Requests from
processes not running with UID 0 or on distant networks are gen-
erally ignored by the daemon except for a message in the system
log.
dump Dumps the daemon's routing table to the current
tracefile.
more Increases the debugging level.
off Turns off tracing.
on=tracefile
Turn tracing on into the specified file. That file
must usually have been specified when the daemon
was started or be the same as a fixed name, often
/etc/routed.trace.
-w timeout
Changes the delay for an answer from each host. By default, each
host is given 15 seconds to respond.
