NAME
ldpd - Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) routing daemon
SYNOPSIS
ldpd [-dnv] [-D macro=value] [-f file] [-s socket]
DESCRIPTION
ldpd is the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) daemon, which distributes
MPLS label mappings between routers.
A running ldpd can be controlled with the ldpctl(8) utility.
The options are as follows:
-D macro=value
Define macro to be set to value on the command line. Overrides
the definition of macro in the configuration file.
-d Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, ldpd will run in
the foreground and log to stderr.
-f file
Specify an alternative configuration file.
-n Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
-s socket
Use an alternate location for the default control socket.
-v Produce more verbose output.
FILES
/etc/ldpd.conf Default ldpd configuration file.
/var/run/ldpd.sock UNIX-domain socket used for communication with
ldpctl(8).
