20.Sh DESCRIPTION
21.Nm Rtquery
22is used to query a RIP network routing daemon,
23.Xr routed 8
24or
25.Xr gated 8 ,
26for its routing table by sending a
27.Em request
28or
29.Em poll
30command.  The routing information in any routing
31.Em response
32packets returned is displayed numerically and symbolically.
33.Pp
34.Nm Rtquery
35by default uses the
36.Em request
37command.
38When the
39.Fl p
40option is specified,
41.Nm
42uses the
43.Em poll
44command, an
45undocumented extension to the RIP protocol supported by
46.Xr gated 8 .
47When querying
48.Xr gated 8 ,
49the
50.Em poll
51command is preferred over the
52.Em request
53command because the response is not subject to Split Horizon and/or
54Poisoned Reverse, and because some versions of
55.Xr gated 8
56do not answer
57the
58.Em request
59command.
60.Nm Routed
61does not answer the
62.Em poll
63command, but
64recognizes
65.Em request
66commands coming from
67.Nm
68and so answers completely.
69.Pp
70.Nm Rtquery
71is also used to turn tracing on or off in
72.Nm routed .
73.Pp
74The following options are available:
75.Bl -tag -width indent
76.It Fl n
77Normally network and host numbers are displayed both symbolically
78and numerically.
79The
80.Fl n
81option displays only the numeric network and host numbers.
82.It Fl p
83Use the
84.Em Poll
85command to request full routing information from
86.Xr gated 8 .
87This is an undocumented extension RIP protocol supported only by
88.Xr gated 8 .
89.It Fl 1
90Query using RIP version 1 instead of RIP version 2.
91.It Fl w Ar timeout
92Change the delay for an answer from each host.
93By default, each host is given 15 seconds to respond.
94.It Fl r Ar addr
95Ask about the route to destination
96.Em addr .
97.It Fl a Ar passwd=XXX
98.It Fl a Ar md5_passwd=XXX|KeyID
99Cause the query to be sent with the indicated cleartext or MD5 password.
100.It Fl t Ar op
101Change tracing, where
102.Em op
103is one of the following.
104Requests from processes not running with UID 0 or on distant networks
105are generally ignored by the daemon except for a message in the system log.
106.Xr Gated 8
107is likely to ignore these debugging requests.
108.El
109.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent-two
110.It Em on=tracefile
111Turn tracing on into the specified file.  That file must usually
112have been specified when the daemon was started or be the same
113as a fixed name, often
114.Pa /etc/routed.trace .
115.It Em more
116Increase the debugging level.
117.It Em off
118Turn off tracing.
119.It Em dump
120Dump the daemon's routing table to the current tracefile.
