NAME

6       mheardd - collect information about packet activity
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mheardd [-f] [-l] [-n number] [-v]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Mheardd  is a daemon that collects the statistics about the activity on
13       all the AX.25 channels that  are  configured.  The  list  generated  is
14       available  for  viewing  by the mheard(1) program. The information col‐
15       lected is a superset of the information normally collected  by  similar
16       mheard  programs and this is reflected in the options available for the
17       viewing program. Logging to the system log file may  be  enabled  which
18       will  enable monitoring of pathalogical conditions, for example invalid
19       frame types and invalid/unknown protocol IDs.
