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