## NAME
       multipathc - Interactive client for multipathd

## SYNOPSIS
       **multipathc **[ _timeout_ ]

## DESCRIPTION
       The  **multipathc **tool provides an interactive shell for communicating with the **multipathd **dae‐
       mon.  The command **multipathd -k **invokes **multipathc**.

       All commands documented in [**multipathd(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/multipathd/8/markdown) **are supported.  The available commands can be viewed
       by entering '_help_'.  Use _quit_, _exit_, or **CTRL-D **to exit the shell.  Keywords can  be  abbrevi‐
       ated  with  the first letters (for example, _shu_ for _shutdown_), if the abbreviation is unique.
       Some commands support pretty-printing using **printf**-style  format  specifiers.  The  supported
       format specifiers can be listed with the command **show wildcards**.  Depending on build options,
       the interactive shell may provide command completion and history expansion features.

       The  optional parameter **timeout **specifies the timeout to wait for a reply from **multipathd**, in
       milliseconds. The default is 4000 ms.
