NAME

6       wickedd - network management daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       wickedd [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       wickedd provides a service for managing network interfaces. It monitors
13       the system's interfaces by retrieving  relevant  information  from  the
14       kernel via netlink, sysfs and other interfaces.
15
16       It can be accessed via a DBus service, which can be used to reconfigure
17       interfaces, bring them up or take them down.
18

COMPONENTS

20       Additionally to the main wickedd daemon, wicked framework provides sev‐
21       eral helper daemons and supplicants:

OPTIONS

39       --help Show available options and exit.
40
41       --version
42              Show name and version.
43
44       --config filename
45              By   default,   the   daemon   reads   its   configuration  from
46              /etc/wicked/server.xml. The --config options allows you to spec‐
47              ify a different configuration file.
48
49       --debug facility
50              Enable  debugging  for facility. By specifying most as the debug
51              facility, most useful debug options will be  enabled.   You  can
52              also  specify several facilities, separated by commas.  Prepend‐
53              ing a minus will turn off the specified facility. For  instance,
54              to  enable  all debugging facilities except reporting of events,
55              use "all,-events".
56
57              The list of available facilities can be obtained using  "--debug
58              help".
59
60       --log-level level
61              Set log level to one of <error|warning|notice|info|debug>.
62
63       --log-target target
64              Set log target to one of <stderr|syslog>, optionally followed by
65              a colon and target specific details.
66
67                  stderr[:options] with the following options:
68                      pid include program pid in each message
69
70                  syslog[:facility[:options]] with following facilities:
71                      user, daemon, local0 .. local7
72                  and options:
73                      perror log the message to stderr as well
74
75
76       --foreground
77              Tell the daemon to not background itself at startup.
78
79       --recover
80              By default, wickedd does not read previously  saved  state  when
81              starting.   With  this  options set, wickedd will load any saved
82              state and recover valid address configuration.
83
84       --systemd
85              Forces wickedd to use the syslog target for logging.  This  also
86              forces wickedd to not report any transient return codes.
87

89       FILES
90
91       /etc/wicked/server.xml
92              specifies  the global configuration of the daemon. This file may
93              pull in additional configuration data from the same directory.
94
95       /run/wicked/wicked.pid
96              Location of the PID file written by the daemon when  background‐
97              ing  itself.  The  pid directory be changed in the configuration
