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.
