NAME
     mrinfo -- displays configuration info from a multicast router

SYNOPSIS
     mrinfo [-hn] [-d level] [-r count] [-t seconds] router

DESCRIPTION
     mrinfo attempts to display the configuration information from the specified
     multicast capable router.

     mrinfo uses the ASK_NEIGHBORS IGMP message to query the specified multicast
     router.   If  the	router	responds, the version number and a list of their
     neighboring multicast router addresses is part of the response.  If the re-
     sponding router has a recent multicast version number, then mrinfo requests
     additional information such as metrics, thresholds, and flags from the mul-
     ticast router.  Once the specified multicast router responds, the	configu-
     ration is displayed to the standard output.

     The options are as follows:

     -h 	       Print a help message and exit.

     -n 	       Use numerical address instead of a symbolic host name.

     -d level	       sets  the  debug  level.  When the debug level is greater
		       than the default value of 0,  additional  debugging  mes-
		       sages are printed.  Regardless of the debug level, an er-
		       ror  condition  will  always  write  an error message and
		       cause mrinfo to terminate.  Non-zero  debug  levels  have
		       the following effects (printed to stderr):

			     1	packet warnings.
			     2	all  level 1 messages plus notifications of down
				networks.
			     3	all level 2 messages plus notifications  of  all
				packet timeouts.

     -r count	       sets  the  neighbor query retry count limit.  The default
		       is to do 3 retries.

     -t seconds        sets the timeout in number  of  seconds	to  wait  for  a
		       neighbor query reply.  The default timeout is 4 seconds.

EXAMPLES
     # mrinfo mbone.phony.dom.net
     127.148.176.10 (mbone.phony.dom.net) [version 3.3]:
      127.148.176.10 -> 0.0.0.0 (?) [1/1/querier]
      127.148.176.10 -> 127.0.8.4 (mbone2.phony.dom.net) [1/45/tunnel]
      127.148.176.10 -> 105.1.41.9 (momoney.com) [1/32/tunnel/down]
      127.148.176.10 -> 143.192.152.119 (mbone.dipu.edu) [1/32/tunnel]

     For  each	neighbor  of the queried multicast router, the IP of the queried
     router is displayed, followed by the IP  and  name  of  the  neighbor.   In
     square  brackets  the  metric (cost of connection) and threshold (multicast
     ttl) is displayed.  If the queried multicast router  has  a  newer  version
     number, the type (tunnel, srcrt) and status (disabled, down) of the connec-
     tion is displayed.
