NAME
       bcrelay - a broadcast relay daemon

SYNOPSIS
       bcrelay [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       bcrelay	simply	plays  as  a broadcast repeater. When bcrelay receives
       packets from the	incomming interface, it	will then relay	 them  to  the
       outgoing	interface.

OPTIONS
       -d,--daemon
	      Run bcrelay as a daemon.

       -h,--help
	      Show help	message.

       -i,--incoming interface-in
	      Defines from which interface broadcasts will be read.

       -s,--outgoing interface-out
	      Defines to which interface broadcasts will be relayed.

       -n,--nolog
	      Disable  any logging and tracing to /var/log/messages except fa-
	      tal error	messages.

       -s,--ipsec argument
	      Defines an ipsec tunnel to be relayed to.	 Since	ipsec  tunnels
	      terminate	on the same interface, we need to define the broadcast
	      address  of  the	other end-point	of the tunnel. This is done as
	      ipsec0:x.x.x.255.

       -v,--version
	      Show the version of bcrelay.

       Log messages and	debugging information go to syslog as daemon.

       Interfaces can be specified as regexpressions, ie. ppp[0-9]+.
