GGATEC(8) System Manager's Manual GGATEC(8) NAME ggatec -- GEOM Gate network client and control utility SYNOPSIS ggatec create [-n] [-v] [-o ro | wo | rw] [-p port] [-q queue_size] [-R rcvbuf] [-S sndbuf] [-s sectorsize] [-t timeout] [-u unit] host path ggatec rescue [-n] [-v] [-o ro | wo | rw] [-p port] [-R rcvbuf] [-S sndbuf] -u unit host path ggatec destroy [-f] -u unit ggatec list [-v] [-u unit] DESCRIPTION The ggatec utility is a network client for the GEOM Gate class. It is responsible for the creation of ggate devices and forwarding I/O re- quests between the geom_gate.ko kernel module and the ggated(8) network daemon. Available commands: create Connect to a ggated(8) daemon on the specified host and create a ggate provider for the specified remote file or device. rescue Create a new connection after the ggatec process has died or been killed. The new connection to the ggated(8) daemon han- dles pending and future requests. destroy Destroy the given ggate provider. list List ggate providers. Available options: -f Forcibly destroy ggate provider (cancels all pending requests). -n Do not use TCP_NODELAY option on TCP sockets. -o ro | wo | rw Specify permission to use when opening the file or de- vice: read-only (ro), write-only (wo), or read-write (rw). Default is rw. -p port Port to connect to on the remote host. Default is 3080. -q queue_size Number of pending I/O requests that can be queued be- fore they will start to be canceled. Default is 1024. -R rcvbuf Size of receive buffer to use. Default is 131072 (128kB). -S sndbuf Size of send buffer to use. Default is 131072 (128kB). -s sectorsize Sector size for ggate provider. If not specified, it is taken from device, or set to 512 bytes for files. -t timeout Number of seconds to wait before an I/O request will be canceled. Default is 0, which means no timeout. -u unit Unit number to use. -v Do not fork, run in foreground and print debug infor- mation on standard output. host Remote host to connect to. path Path to a regular file or device. EXIT STATUS Exit status is 0 on success, or 1 if the command fails. To get details about the failure, ggatec should be called with the -v option.
