13.Op Fl w Ar timeout

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