| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B vtysh |
| is a integrated shell for |
| .B Quagga |
| routing engine. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| Options available for the |
| .B vtysh |
| command: |
| .IP "\fB\-b, \-\-boot\fP" |
| Execute boot startup configuration. It makes sense only if integrated config |
| file is in use (not default in Quagga). See Info file \fBQuagga\fR for more |
| info. |
| .IP "\fB\-c, \-\-command \fIcommand\fP" |
| Specify command to be executed under batch mode. It behaves like -c option in |
| any other shell - |
| .I command |
| is executed and vtysh exits. |
| |
| It's useful for gathering info from Quagga routing software from shell scripts |
| etc. |
| .IP "\fB\-e, \-\-execute \fIcommand\fP" |
| Alias for -c. It's only for compatibility with Zebra routing software and older |
| Quagga versions and this might be removed in future. |
| .IP "\fB\-h, \-\-help\fP" |
| Display a usage message on standard output and exit. |
| .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES |

| This should be the name of the pager to use. Default is \fBmore\fR. |

| ospf database", "show ip bgp" etc. in big networks) will cause daemon to be |
| unresponsive until vtysh returns back to the prompt. |
