DESCRIPTION

19       The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers
20       total address transparency between processes which allows applications
21       in a clustered computer environment to communicate quickly and reliably
22       with each other, regardless of their location within the cluster.
23
24       TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The
25       first open source version of TIPC was created in 2000 when Ericsson
26       released its first Linux version of TIPC. TIPC was introduced in the
27       mainline Linux kernel in 2006 and is now widely used both within and
28       outside of Ericsson.

OPTIONS

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

37
38       -j, -json
39              Output results in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).
40
41
42       -p, -pretty
43              The default JSON format is compact and more efficient to parse
44              but hard for most users to read.  This flag adds indentation for
45              readability.
