💅 NFD(1) — Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon

okay so bestie, welcome to the nfd page from the Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon family of docs 🌸 this is the manual for NFD, and yes it's section 1 because it's a command you actually run, slay.

✨ NAME ✨

nfd — the Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nfd [-c|--config file]
nfd -h|--help
nfd -m|--modules
nfd -V|--version

like, those are your four whole moods. pick one 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

NFD is a network forwarder that implements the Named Data Networking (NDN) protocol. that's the whole vibe — it forwards, it's networked, it does NDN 💖 no cap.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -c <file>, --config <file> — tell NFD where its configuration file lives. you're literally pointing at the path, that's it, that's the job 🗂️
  • -h, --help — prints the help message and then dips out. exit stage left 🫶
  • -m, --modules — lists all the available logging modules, so you can see what's loggable. very iykyk ✨
  • -V, --version — shows version info and exits. a little "who am i" moment 💅

✨ EXIT STATUS ✨

  • 0 — no error. we love a clean exit 🎀
  • 1 — an unspecified error occurred. cryptic, mysterious, unhelpful, iconic 😭
  • 2 — malformed command line, like an invalid, missing, or unknown argument. you gave it nonsense and it said no 💀
  • 4 — insufficient privileges. you need more power, main character, go get it 👑

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

sudo nfd --config nfd.conf

start NFD as super user with a configuration file from the current directory. sudo said rise and grind 🔥
