30 .IP "\fB\-b, \-\-boot\fP"

42 It's useful for gathering info from Quagga routing software or reconfiguring
43 daemons from inside shell scripts, etc.

51 attempts to connect to all Quagga daemons running on the system. With this
52 flag, one can specify a single daemon to connect to instead. For example,

54 useful inside scripts with -c where the command is targeted for a single daemon.
55 .IP "\fB\-e, \-\-execute \fIcommand\fP"
56 Alias for -c. It's here only for compatibility with Zebra routing software and
57 older Quagga versions. This will be removed in future.
58 .IP "\fB\-E, \-\-echo\fP"
59 When the -c option is being used, this flag will cause the standard
61 prompt and command to be echoed prior to displaying the results.
