TIPC(8)                              Linux                             TIPC(8)

NAME
       tipc - a TIPC configuration and management tool

SYNOPSIS
       tipc [ OPTIONS ] COMMAND ARGUMENTS


       COMMAND := {  bearer | link | media | nametable | node | socket }


       OPTIONS := {  -h[help] }


DESCRIPTION
       The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers
       total address transparency between processes which allows applications
       in a clustered computer environment to communicate quickly and reliably
       with each other, regardless of their location within the cluster.

       TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The
       first open source version of TIPC was created in 2000 when Ericsson
       released its first Linux version of TIPC. TIPC was introduced in the
       mainline Linux kernel in 2006 and is now widely used both within and
       outside of Ericsson.


OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Show help about last given command. For example tipc bearer
              --help will show bearer help and tipc --help will show general
              help. The position of the option in the string is irrelevant.


       -j, -json
              Output results in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).


       -p, -pretty
              The default JSON format is compact and more efficient to parse
              but hard for most users to read.  This flag adds indentation for
              readability.


COMMANDS
       BEARER - Show or modify TIPC bearers


       LINK   - Show or modify TIPC links


       MEDIA  - Show or modify TIPC media


       NAMETABLE
              - Show TIPC nametable


       NODE   - Show or modify TIPC node parameters


       SOCKET - Show TIPC sockets


ARGUMENTS
       Command arguments are described in a command specific man page and
       typically consists of nested commands along with key value pairs.  If
       no arguments are given a command typically shows its help text. The
       explicit help option -h or --help can occur anywhere among the
       arguments and will show help for the last valid command given.


EXIT STATUS
       Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer upon
       failure.
