It is responsible for the creation of ggate devices and forwarding I/O re- quests between the GEOM Gate kernel subsystem 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 re- quests). -n Do not use TCP_NODELAY option on TCP sockets. -o option Specify permissions and options to use when opening the file or device. ro read-only wo write-only rw read-write direct open with O_DIRECT option on the file 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 before they will start to be canceled. Default is 1024. -R rcvbuf Size of receive buffer to use. Default is 131072 (128 KiB). -S sndbuf Size of send buffer to use. Default is 131072 (128 KiB). -s sectorsize Sector size for ggate provider. If not specified, it is taken from the 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 informa- tion 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.
