NAME
mheardd - collect information about packet activity
SYNOPSIS
mheardd [-f] [-l] [-n number] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
Mheardd is a daemon that collects the statistics about the activity on
all the AX.25 channels that are configured. The list generated is
available for viewing by the mheard(1) program. The information
collected is a superset of the information normally collected by
similar mheard programs and this is reflected in the options available
for the viewing program. Logging to the system log file may be enabled
which will enable monitoring of pathalogical conditions, for example
invalid frame types and invalid/unknown protocol IDs.
OPTIONS
-f Deletes the existing mheard logging file at program startup,
this is not the default.
-l Enables logging to the system log file. The default is off.
-n number Sets the number of entries in the activity list file, the
default is 40. The minimum value allowed is 10 and the
maximum is 100.
-v Display the version.
