💖 DNETINFO — the DECnet Routing Information glow-up ✨

okay bestie, welcome to dnetinfo(8) and dneigh(8) — two lil utilities from the System Manager's Manual, and yes they live in section 8 because they're ✨system manager✨ coded. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

dnetinfo — DECnet Routing Information 👑

dneigh — DECnet Neighborhood Information 🏘️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dnetinfo [OPTIONS...]

dneigh [OPTIONS...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so dneigh shows the local DECnet neighbour table, and it does it in an arp-like format. that's the whole vibe. arp but make it DECnet 💅

meanwhile dnetinfo is a program that queries the dnroute daemon for its current routes. the output is very similar to the SHOW NET/OLD command on VMS. iconic behavior honestly 🌈

⚠️ and here's the plot twist: if dnroute is not running, or you don't have enough privileges to contact it, then it will fall back to dneigh behavior. no drama, just a graceful little pivot 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -n — don't resolve node numbers into names. keep it numeric, keep it mysterious 💀
  • -h, --help — show a help text. we love a little help 🥺
  • --dneigh — force dneigh behavior. no takesies backsies.
  • --dnetinfo — force dnetinfo behavior. main character energy, locked in.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

  • dnroute(8)
  • ip(8)
