PPS interface to the network manager
Syntax:
net_pps [-A addr:port][-a]
[-c file] [-d] [if0...] [-m]
[-P script] [-p prefix] [-r name [if0...]]
[-S uid] [-s] [-u] &
Options:
- -A addr:port
- Proxy to publish when proxy authentication is required.
- -a
- Automatically configure any discovered interfaces when the link state indicates that the
interfaces are connected.
- -c file
- Specify configuration file (default: /etc/net_pps.conf).
- -d
- Enable debug messages (to stdout).
- if0...
- Specify prioritized list of interfaces to be considered for multihomed operation,
preference of default routes, confstr resolver configuration, etc.
- -m
- Use multipath routes.
- -P script
- Specify the script to run for updating proxy settings.
- -p prefix
- Add this prefix to all executable paths. This has no effect without the
-s option.
- -r name [if0...]
- Create another routing domain (called name) with the following
prioritized interface list.
- -S uid
- Run subprocesses as this uid.
- -s
- Use standard file paths for subprocess executables (defaults:
system=/usr/sbin/ user=/usr/bin/).
- -u
- Automatically assume the interface is connected based on its up state. This
allows shim drivers as well as drivers that don't issue link state changes to work.
Description:
The net_pps service offers a PPS interface for communicating with the QNX network manager. For more information about QNX support for networking, see "Networking Architecture" in the System Architecture
Guide.
For more information about the instructions
net_pps can send to the network manager, and the information it can
receive, see the relevant PPS object descriptions:
Configuration
The net_pps service uses the /etc/net_pps.conf configuration
files. To configure network manager behavior, edit the
parameters in this plain-text file.
