NAME
       tipc - a TIPC configuration and management tool

SYNOPSIS
       tipc [ OPTIONS ] COMMAND ARGUMENTS


       COMMAND := { bearer | link | media | nametable | node | socket }


       OPTIONS := { -h[help] }


DESCRIPTION
       The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers total address transparency
       between processes which allows applications in a clustered computer environment to communi‐
       cate quickly and reliably with each other, regardless of their location within the cluster.

       TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The first open source ver‐
       sion of TIPC was created in 2000 when Ericsson released its first Linux version of TIPC. TIPC
       was introduced in the mainline Linux kernel in 2006 and is now widely used both within and
       outside of Ericsson.


OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Show help about last given command. For example tipc bearer --help will show bearer
              help and tipc --help will show general help. The position of the option in the string
              is irrelevant.


       -j, -json
              Output results in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).


       -p, -pretty
              The default JSON format is compact and more efficient to parse but hard for most users
              to read.  This flag adds indentation for readability.


COMMANDS
       BEARER - Show or modify TIPC bearers


       LINK   - Show or modify TIPC links


       MEDIA  - Show or modify TIPC media


       NAMETABLE
              - Show TIPC nametable


       NODE   - Show or modify TIPC node parameters


       SOCKET - Show TIPC sockets


ARGUMENTS
       Command arguments are described in a command specific man page and typically consists of
       nested commands along with key value pairs.  If no arguments are given a command typically
       shows its help text. The explicit help option -h or --help can occur anywhere among the argu‐
       ments and will show help for the last valid command given.


EXIT STATUS
       Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer upon failure.
