NAME
       udp-echo-server -- Simple UDP Echo Server

SYNOPSIS
       udp-echo-server	[-L level | --loglevel level] [-Z | --logcolor on|off]
		       [-O   file   |	--logfile   file]   [-q	  |   --quiet]
		       [-v  |  --verbose]  [-U	user|uid  |  --user  user|uid]
		       [-A	address	      |	      --address	      address]
		       [-P  port  |  --port port] [-f port | --from-port port]
		       [-t port	| --to-port port]

DESCRIPTION
       udp-echo-server is a simple UDP Echo server. It can be used as endpoint
       for HiPerConTracer UDP Ping/Traceroute.	Note,  for  security  reasons,
       udp-echo-server	only  responds to source ports >= 1024,	to avoid using
       the server in attacks, like spoofing a packet from another Echo	server
       (port 7)	to create a flooding loop. Also, packets from the same port as
       the listening port are ignored.

ARGUMENTS
       The following arguments may be provided:

       -L level	| --loglevel level
	       Sets  the minimum logging level to the provided value: 0=trace,
	       1=debug,	2=info,	3=warning, 4=error, 5=fatal.

       -q | --quiet
	       Sets the	minimum	logging	level to 3 (warning).

       -v | --verbose
	       Sets the	minimum	logging	level to 0 (trace).

       -Z on|off| --logcolor on|off
	       Enables (on) or disables	(off) the usage	of ANSI	 color	escape
	       sequences to colorise the log output according to its level.

       -O file | --logfile file
	       Sets  a file name for appending the log output to. If a file is
	       set, no log output is made to the console. Otherwise,  all  log
	       output will be written to the console.

       -U user|uid | --user user|uid
	       After  startup,	the  server uses UID and GID of	the given user
	       (by name	or GID).

       -A address | --address address
	       Sets the	local address (default:	::).

       -P port | --port	port
	       Sets the	local port (default: 7).

       -P port | --from-port port
	       Sets the	first local port of a range (default: 7).

       -P port | --to-port port
	       Sets the	last local port	of a range (default:  0;  0  uses  the
	       "from" port).
