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 in-
     terface.

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  fatal
	    error messages.

     -s,--ipsec argument
	    Defines an ipsec tunnel to be relayed to. Since ipsec tunnels termi-
	    nate  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]+.
