SYNOPSIS
     ggated [-h] [-n] [-v] [-a address] [-p port] [-R rcvbuf] [-S sndbuf]
	    [exports file]

DESCRIPTION
     The  ggated  utility is a network server for GEOM Gate class.  It runs on a
     server machine to service GEOM Gate  requests  from  workers  placed  on  a
     client machine.  Keep in mind, that connection between ggatec(8) and ggated
     is not encrypted.

     Available options:

     -a address    Specifies an IP address to bind to.

     -h 	   Print available options.

     -n 	   Do not use TCP_NODELAY option on TCP sockets.

     -p port	   Port  on  which  ggated  listens  for connection.  Default is
		   3080.

     -R rcvbuf	   Size of receive buffer to use.  Default is 131072 (128kB).

     -S sndbuf	   Size of send buffer to use.	Default is 131072 (128kB).

     -v 	   Do not fork, run in foreground and print  debug  informations
		   on standard output.

     exports file  An alternate location for the exports file.

     The format of an exports file is as follows:

	   1.2.3.4	   RO	   /dev/acd0
	   1.2.3.0/24	   RW	   /tmp/test.img
	   hostname	   WO	   /tmp/image

EXAMPLES
     Export CD-ROM device and a file:

	   # echo "1.2.3.0/24 RO /dev/acd0" > /etc/gg.exports
	   # echo "client RW /image" >> /etc/gg.exports
	   # ggated

DIAGNOSTICS
     Exit  status  is  0  on success, or 1 if the command fails.  To get details
     about the failure, ggated should be called with the -v option.
