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
              ./spread.conf.

FILES

       ./spread.conf
              The  default  config  file  location.   /etc/spread.conf is also
              searched if a local file is not found.

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.
