mip6d(1)

💖 NAME 💖

mip6d — bestie, this is the MIPL Mobile IPv6 and NEMO Basic Support protocol implementation, aka the whole vibe of "your device can move networks and stay reachable" ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mip6d [options]

That's it. That's the whole summoning ritual. Just the daemon name and whatever options you're feeling 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Mobile IPv6 and NEMO Basic Support implementation. Literally what it says on the tin, no cap 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -V, --version — spills the version info and the copyright. Iconic little "who am I" moment 👑
• -?, -h, --help — shows you this help text. Your lil safety net when you forget a flag, and tbh same 🫶
• -c <file> — reads the configuration from <file>. And lowkey if you don't pass this option, it just defaults to the path /etc/mip6d.conf — she has a favorite, periodt 🎀

Heads up bestie: the options below override whatever values got read from the config file. So config says one thing, flag says another? The flag wins, fr fr 💀

• -d <number> — sets the debug level, and the range is 0-10. Crank it up when you wanna see everything the daemon's thinking 🧚
• -C, --correspondent-node — tells the daemon this node is a CN (correspondent node)
• -H, --home-agent — tells the daemon this node is an HA (home agent)
• -M, --mobile-node — tells the daemon this node is an MN (mobile node). main character energy, obviously ✨

🦋 FILES 🦋

• /etc/mip6d.conf — the default config path, her home base 🏠
