💖 IRDP(1) — the irdp manual, but make it bestie-friendly 💖

okay so real talk, this is the manual page for irdp, and yes the manual page itself is literally called IRDP(1) (General Commands Manual section, obvs). Buckle up, it's short and it's iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

irdp — the irdp packet sender. that's it, that's the job. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this page is a lil quick doc of the irdp command. Quick lil heads up tho: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page at all. not a single one. we're the ones who stepped up. 🫶

And what does this tool do? It sends out IRDP responses. Nothing else ;) like, that's the whole personality. no notes.

Here's the usage, every flag included, no gatekeeping:

  • -i <interface> — interface.
  • -p <preference> — preference of this entry, default is 0.
  • -l <lifetime> — lifetime of the entry, default: 1800.
  • -S <spoofed source IP> — maybe you need this.
  • -D <destination IP> — If you don't specify this, the broadcast address is used.
bestie pls note: -S is literally labelled "maybe you need this" in the original and honestly? same energy. and if you skip -D, it just goes to the broadcast address, so no worries there. 🎀
