65.Sh DESCRIPTION
66The
67.Nm
68utility is a network client for the GEOM Gate class.
69It is responsible for the creation of
70.Nm ggate
71devices and forwarding I/O requests between the
72.Nm GEOM Gate
73kernel subsystem and the
74.Xr ggated 8
75network daemon.
76Available commands:
77.Bl -tag -width ".Cm destroy"
78.It Cm create
79Connect to a
80.Xr ggated 8
81daemon on the specified host and create a
82.Nm ggate
83provider for the specified remote file or device.
84.It Cm rescue
85Create a new connection after the
86.Nm
87process has died or been killed.
88The new connection to the
89.Xr ggated 8
90daemon handles pending and future requests.
91.It Cm destroy
92Destroy the given
93.Nm ggate
94provider.
95.It Cm list
96List
97.Nm ggate
98providers.
99.El
100.Pp
101Available options:
102.Bl -tag -width ".Fl s Cm ro | wo | rw"
103.It Fl f
104Forcibly destroy
105.Nm ggate
106provider (cancels all pending requests).
107.It Fl n
108Do not use
109.Dv TCP_NODELAY
110option on TCP sockets.
111.It Fl o Cm ro | wo | rw
112Specify permissions to use when opening the file or device: read-only
113.Pq Cm ro ,
114write-only
115.Pq Cm wo ,
116or read-write
117.Pq Cm rw .
118Default is
119.Cm rw .

124Number of pending I/O requests that can be queued before they will
125start to be canceled.
126Default is 1024.
127.It Fl R Ar rcvbuf
128Size of receive buffer to use.
129Default is 131072 (128kB).
130.It Fl S Ar sndbuf
131Size of send buffer to use.
132Default is 131072 (128kB).
133.It Fl s Ar sectorsize
134Sector size for
135.Nm ggate
136provider.
137If not specified, it is taken from the device, or set to 512 bytes for files.
138.It Fl t Ar timeout
139Number of seconds to wait before an I/O request will be canceled.
140Default is 0, which means no timeout.
