MULTIPATHC(8)                          System Manager's Manual                         MULTIPATHC(8)

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) 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.
