NAME

   rtmon - listens to and monitors RTnetlink

SYNOPSIS

   rtmon [ options ] file FILE [ all | LISTofOBJECTS ]

DESCRIPTION

   This manual page documents briefly the rtmon command.

   rtmon listens on netlink socket and monitors routing table changes.

   rtmon  can be started before the first network configuration command is
   issued.  For example if you insert:

   rtmon file /var/log/rtmon.log

   in a startup script, you will be able to view the full  history  later.
   Certainly,  it  is possible to start rtmon at any time. It prepends the
   history with the state snapshot dumped at the moment of starting.

OPTIONS

   rtmon supports the following options:

   -Version
          Print version and exit.

   help   Show summary of options.

   file FILE [ all | LISTofOBJECTS ]
          Log output to FILE. LISTofOBJECTS is the list  of  object  types
          that  we  want  to  monitor.  It  may contain 'link', 'address',
          'route'  and  'all'.  'link'  specifies  the   network   device,
          'address' the protocol (IP or IPv6) address on a device, 'route'
          the routing table entry and 'all' does what the name says.

   -family [ inet | inet6 | link | help ]
          Specify protocol family. 'inet' is IPv4, 'inet6' is IPv6, 'link'
          means  that no networking protocol is involved and 'help' prints
          usage information.

   -4     Use IPv4. Shortcut for -family inet.

   -6     Use IPv6. Shortcut for -family inet6.

   -0     Use a special  family  identifier  meaning  that  no  networking
          protocol is involved. Shortcut for -family link.

USAGE EXAMPLES

   # rtmon file /var/log/rtmon.log
          Log to file /var/log/rtmon.log, then run:

   # ip monitor file /var/log/rtmon.log
          to display logged output from file.
