+HELP AND VERSION
+----------------
+
+.. option:: -h, --help
+
+   Print a short description of the daemon's command line options.
+
+.. option:: -v, --version
+
+   Print version and build information for the daemon.
+
+Both of these options inhibit normal operation and will immediately exit.
+
+PROCESS CONTROL
+---------------
+These options control background operation:
+
+.. option:: -d, --daemon
+
+   Launches the process in background/daemon mode, forking and detaching from the terminal.
+
+  The parent process will delay its exit until the daemon/child has finished its initialization and has entered its main loop. This is important for zebra startup because the other daemons will attempt to connect to zebra. A return from zebra -d guarantees its readiness to accept these connections.
+
+.. option:: -t, --terminal
+
+   Opens an interactive VTY session on the terminal, allowing for both state and configuration operations.  Note that the terminal starts operating after startup has completed and the configuration file has been loaded.
+
+   The process will exit when end of file is detected on the terminal.  It is possible to daemonize a process started with -t (but without -d) by sending SIGQUIT to the process (normally mapped to a ^\ keypress.)
+
+
+The combination of :option:`--daemon` and :option:`--terminal` will delay the daemon from going into background until the terminal session ends (by end of file.)
+
+If the process receives SIGINT (e.g. a ^C keypress) in this mode, it will exit instead of daemonizing.
+
+It is safe to suspend (SIGTSTP / ^Z) the terminal session opened by the previous two options;  this will only stop the terminal but not the protocol daemon itself (which runs in a separate second process.)
+
+CONFIGURATION AND PATHS
+-----------------------
+The following options control configuration and file system locations for frr processes:
+
+.. option:: -f, --config_file config-file
+
+   Specify a configuration file to be used instead of the default /etc/frr/<daemon>.conf file.
+
+   Note that the daemon will attempt to write to this file if the write file command is issued on its VTY interface or through vtysh.
+
+.. option:: -C, --dryrun
+
+   Load the configuration file and check its validity, then exit.
+
+.. option:: -i, --pid_file pid-file
+
+   Output a pid file to a location other than the default /var/run/frr/<daemon>.pid.
+
+.. option:: -z, --socket zclient-path
+
+   Override the path of the ZAPI socket used to communicate between zebra and the various protocol daemons. The default is /var/run/frr/zserv.api.  The value of this option must be the same across all daemons.
+
+.. option:: -N, --pathspace pathspace
+
+   Insert pathspace into all default paths, changing the defaults to:
+
+   /etc/frr/pathspace/<daemon>.conf
+   /var/run/frr/pathspace/<daemon>.pid
+   /var/run/frr/pathspace/<daemon>.vty
+   /var/run/frr/pathspace/zserv.api
+
+   ´.´ and ´/´ characters will not be accepted in pathspace, but the empty string will be accepted.
+
+   Note that this only changes the respective defaults, it has no effect on the respective path if the -f, -i, -z or --vty_socket options are used.
+
+   The purpose of this option is to easily group all file system related bits together for running multiple fully-separate "logical routers" on a system, particularly with Linux network namespaces.  Groups of daemons running with distinct pathspace values will be completely unaware of each other and not interact in any way.
+
+   This option does not do any system setup (like network namespaces.) This must be done by the user, for example by running:
+
+   ip netns exec namespace <daemon> -N namespace
+
+
+PROCESS CREDENTIALS
+-------------------
+.. option:: -u, --user user
+
+   (default: frr)
+
+.. option:: -g, --group group
+
+   (default: frr)
+
+   Change the user/group which the daemon will switch to.
+
+.. option:: -S, --skip_runas
+
+   Skip setting the process effective user and group.
+
+
+Note that there is an additional group, frrvty, which controls group ownership of the VTY sockets.  The name of this group cannot currently be changed, and user must be a member of this group.
+
+
+VTY SETUP
+---------
+These following options control the daemon's VTY (interactive command line) interface.  The interface is available over TCP, using the telnet protocol, as well as through the vtysh frontend.
+
+.. option:: -A, --vty_addr vty-addr
+
+   Specify an IP/IPv6 address to bind the TCP VTY interface to.  It is generally recommended to specify ::1 or 127.0.0.1.  For reasons of backwards compatibility, the default is to listen on all interfaces.
+
+.. option:: -P, --vty_port vty-port
+
+   Override the daemon's default TCP VTY port (each daemon has a different default value upwards of 2600, listed below.)  Specifying 0 disables the TCP VTY interface.
+
+   Default ports are:::
+
+      zebra           2601
+      ripd            2602
+      ripngd          2603
+      ospfd           2604
+      bgpd            2605
+      ospf6d          2606
+      isisd           2608
+      babeld          2609
+      nhrpd           2610
+      pimd            2611
+      ldpd            2612
+      eigrpd          2613
+
+   Port 2607 is used for ospfd's Opaque LSA API, while port 2600 is used for the (insecure) TCP-ZEBRA interface.
+
+.. option:: --vty_socket vty-path
+
+   Overrides the directory used for the <daemon>.vty sockets.  vtysh connects to these sockets in order to access each daemon's VTY.
+   Default: /var/run/frr[/<pathspace>]
+
+   NB: Unlike the other options, this option specifies a directory, not a full path.
+
+   This option is primarily used by the SNAP packaging system, its semantics may change.  It should not be neccessary in most other scenarios.
+
+MODULE LOADING
+--------------
+frr supports optional dynamically loadable modules, although these can only be loaded at startup.  The set of available modules may vary across distributions and packages, and modules may be available for installation as separate packages.
+
+.. option:: -M, --module module[:options]
+
+   Load a module named module, optionally passing options to it.
+
+   If there is a ´/´ character in module, the value is assumed to be a pathname to a module.
+
+   If there is no ´/´ character, the module directory (see next option) is searched first for a module named "<daemon>_<module>.so", then for "<module>.so".  This allows for a module to exist in variations appropriate for particular daemons, e.g. zebra_snmp and bgp_snmp, with the correct one selected by -M snmp.
+
+   The meaning of options is specific to the module being loaded.  Most modules currently ignore it.
+
+   Modules are loaded in the order as listed on the command line.  This is not generally relevant.
+
+.. option:: --moduledir module-path
+
+   Look for modules in the module-path directory instead of the default /usr/lib/frr/modules.  (This path is not affected by the -N option.)
+
+The list of loaded modules can be inspected at runtime with the show modules VTY command.
+
+ROUTES
+------
+
+.. option:: -r, --retain
+
+   When the program terminates, retain routes added by the daemon.

+SYNOPSIS

+|PROGRAM| |synopsis-options-hv|
+
+|PROGRAM| <multicast source>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+|PROGRAM| is a program to initiate multicast traceroute, or "mtrace", queries.
+
+The initial version of the program requires multicast source IP address and
+initiates a weak traceroute across the network. This tests whether the
+interfaces towards the source are multicast enabled. The first query sent is a
+full query, capable of crossing the network all the way to the source. If this
+fails, hop-by-hop queries are initiated.
+
+Hop-by-hop queries start by requesting only a response from the nearest router.
+Following that, next query is extended to the next two routers, and so on...
+until a set of routers is tested for connectivity.

+VTYSH
+*****
+
+.. include:: defines.rst
+.. |DAEMON| replace:: eigrpd
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+vtysh [ -b ]
+
+vtysh [ -E ] [ -d *daemon* ] [ -c *command* ]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+vtysh is an integrated shell for the FRRouting suite of protocol daemons.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+OPTIONS available for the vtysh command:
+
+.. option:: -b, --boot
+
+   Execute boot startup configuration. It makes sense only if integrated config file is in use (not default in FRRouting). See Info file frr for more info.
+
+.. option:: -c, --command command
+
+   Specify command to be executed under batch mode. It behaves like -c option in any other shell - command is executed and vtysh exits.
+
+   It's useful for gathering info from FRRouting daemons or reconfiguring daemons from inside shell scripts, etc. Note that multiple commands may be executed by using more than one -c option and/or embedding linefeed characters inside the command string.
+
+.. option:: -d, --daemon daemon_name
+
+   Specify which daemon to connect to. By default, vtysh attempts to connect to all FRRouting daemons running on the system. With this flag, one can specify a single daemon to connect to instead. For example, specifying '-d ospfd' will connect only to ospfd. This can be particularly useful inside scripts with -c where the command is targeted for a single daemon.
+
+.. option:: -e, --execute command
+
+   Alias for -c. It's here only for compatibility with Zebra routing software and older FRR versions. This will be removed in future.
+
+.. option:: -E, --echo
+
+   When the -c option is being used, this flag will cause the standard vtysh prompt and command to be echoed prior to displaying the results. This is particularly useful to separate the results when executing multiple commands.
+
+.. option:: -h, --help
+
+   Display a usage message on standard output and exit.
+
+ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

+WATCHFRR
+********
+
+.. include:: defines.rst
+.. |DAEMON| replace:: watchfrr
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+|DAEMON| |synopsis-options-hv|
+
+|DAEMON| [option...] <daemon>...
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+|DAEMON| is a watchdog program that monitors the status of supplied frr daemons and tries to restart them in case they become unresponsive or shut down.
+
+To determine whether a daemon is running, it tries to connect to the daemon's VTY UNIX stream socket, and send echo commands to ensure the daemon responds. When the daemon crashes, EOF is received from the socket, so that |DAEMON| can react immediately.
+
+In order to avoid restarting the daemons in quick succession, you can supply the -m and -M options to set the minimum and maximum delay between the restart commands. The minimum restart delay is recalculated each time a restart is attempted.  If the time since the last restart attempt exceeds twice the value of -M, the restart delay is set to the value of -m, otherwise the interval is doubled (but capped at the value of -M).
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+The following 3 options specify scripts that |DAEMON| uses to perform start/stop/restart actions. These options are mandatory unless the --dry option is used:
+
+.. option:: -s command, --start-command command
+
+  Supply a Bourne shell command to start a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be sub‐ stituted with the daemon name.
+
+.. option:: -k command, --kill-command command
+
+   Supply a Bourne shell command to stop a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be substituted with the daemon name.
+
+.. option:: -r command, --restart command
+
+   Supply a Bourne shell command to restart a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be substituted with the daemon name.
+
+Other options:
+
+.. option:: --dry
+
+   Run |DAEMON| in "dry-run" mode, only monitoring the specified daemons but not performing any start/stop/restart actions.
+
+.. option:: -d, --daemon
+
+   Run in daemon mode. When supplied, error messages are sent to Syslog instead of standard output (stdout).
+
+.. option:: -S <directory>, --statedir <directory>
+
+   Set the VTY socket directory (the default value is "/var/run/frr").
+
+.. option:: -l <level>, --loglevel <level>
+
+   Set the logging level (the default value is "6"). The value should range from 0 (LOG_EMERG) to 7 (LOG_DEBUG), but higher number can be supplied if extra debugging messages are required.
+
+.. option:: --min-restart-interval <number>
+
+   Set the minimum number of seconds to wait between invocations of the daemon restart commands (the default value is "60").
+
+.. option:: --max-restart-interval <number>
+
+   Set the maximum number of seconds to wait between invocations of the daemon restart commands (the default value is "600").
+
+.. option:: -i <number>, --interval <number>
+
+   Set the status polling interval in seconds (the default value is "5").
+
+.. option:: -t <number>, --timeout <number>
+
+   Set the unresponsiveness timeout in seconds (the default value is "10").
+
+.. option:: -T <number>, --restart-timeout <number>
+
+   Set the restart (kill) timeout in seconds (the default value is "20"). If any background jobs are still running after this period has elapsed, they will be killed.
+
+.. option:: -p <filename>, --pid-file <filename>
+
+   Set the process identifier filename (the default value is "/var/run/frr/|DAEMON|.pid").
+
+.. option:: -b <string>, --blank-string <string>
+
+   When the supplied string is found in any of the command line option arguments (i.e., -r, -s, or -k), replace it with a space.
+
+   This is an ugly hack to circumvent problems with passing the command line arguments containing embedded spaces.
+
+.. option:: -v, --version
+
+   Display the version information and exit.
+
+.. option:: -h, --help
+
+   Display the usage information and exit.
+
+PREVIOUS OPTIONS
+================
+Prior versions of |DAEMON| supported some additional options that no longer exist:::
+
+   -a, -A, -e, -R, -z
+
+The ``-a``, ``-A`` and ``-R`` options were used to select alternate monitoring modes that offered different patterns of restarting daemons. The "correct" mode (phased restart) is now the default. The -e and -z options used to disable some monitoring aspects, |DAEMON| now always has all monitoring features enabled.
+
+Removing these options should result in correct operation, if it does not please file a bug report.

+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+|DAEMON| |synopsis-options-hv|
+
+|DAEMON| |synopsis-options|
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+|DAEMON| is a routing manager that implements the zebra route engine. zebra supports all protocol daemons in the FRRouting suite.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+OPTIONS available for the |DAEMON| command:
+
+.. include:: common-options.rst
+
+.. option:: -b, --batch
+
+   Runs in batch mode, zebra parses its config and exits.
+
+.. option:: -k, --keep_kernel
+
+   On startup, don't delete self inserted routes.
+
+.. option:: -s, --nl-bufsize <netlink-buffer-size>
+
+   Set netlink receive buffer size. There are cases where zebra daemon can't handle flood of netlink messages from kernel. If you ever see "recvmsg overrun" messages in zebra log, you are in trouble.
+
+   Solution is to increase receive buffer of netlink socket. Note that kernel < 2.6.14 doesn't allow to increase it over maximum value defined in /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max. If you want to do it, you have to increase maximum before starting zebra.
+
+   Note that this affects Linux only.
+
+
+.. option:: -n, --vrfwnetns
+
+   Enable namespace VRF backend. By default, the VRF backend relies on VRF-lite support from the Linux kernel. This option permits discovering Linux named network namespaces and mapping it to FRR VRF contexts.
