NAME

spread - Multicast Group Communication Daemon

SYNOPSIS

spread [-l y/n] [-n proc_name] [-c config_file]

DESCRIPTION

spread runs the Spread daemon on the local machine using the default configuration file spread.conf unless told otherwise.

OPTIONS

-l y/n

Turn on or off logging. Default is off.

-n proc_name

Force this daemon to be identified by a specific process name.

-c config-file

Use an alternate configuration file config-file instead of /usr/local/etc/spread.conf.

FILES

/usr/local/etc/spread.conf

DIAGNOSTICS

The daemon will output some startup information to stdout and any severe errors will also be output to stdout. Redirecting standard out to a file or using the EventLogFile directive in the spread.conf file is recommended if you are interested in log messages.

BUGS

None currently known. Library is only thread-safe if the program is linked with libtsp.a not libsp.a. The non-thread-safe library is provided for those who are writing single-threaded applications and do not want to pay the minimal performance penalty for locking.
