NAME

6       multipathc - Interactive client for multipathd
7

SYNOPSIS

9       multipathc [ timeout ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  multipathc  tool  provides  an interactive shell for communicating
13       with the multipathd daemon.  The command multipathd -k  invokes  multi‐
14       pathc.
15
16       All  commands documented in multipathd(8) are supported.  The available
17       commands can be viewed by entering 'help'.  Use quit, exit,  or  CTRL-D
18       to  exit the shell.  Keywords can be abbreviated with the first letters
19       (for example, shu for shutdown), if the abbreviation is  unique.   Some
20       commands  support pretty-printing using printf-style format specifiers.
21       The supported format specifiers can be listed  with  the  command  show
22       wildcards.   Depending on build options, the interactive shell may pro‐
23       vide command completion and history expansion features.
24
25       The optional parameter timeout specifies the timeout to wait for a  re‐
26       ply from multipathd, in milliseconds. The default is 4000 ms.
