29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm mtest
32.Nd test multicast socket operations
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Nm
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38utility
39is a small program for testing multicast socket operations.
40.Pp
41It accepts the following commands, interactively, or as part of a scripted
42input file (useful for automated testing):
43.Pp
44.Bl -tag -width "a ifname e.e.e.e e.e.e.e" -compact -offset indent
45.\"
46.It Ic a Ar ifname Ar mac-addr
47Join the link-layer group address
48.Ar mac-addr
49on interface
50.Ar ifname .
51The group address should be in IEEE 802 MAC format,
52delimited by colon (':') characters.
53.It Ic d Ar ifname Ar mac-addr
54Leave the link-layer group address
55.Ar mac-addr
56on interface
57.Ar ifname .
58.It Ic m Ar ifname Ar 1/0
59Set or reset ALLMULTI mode on interface
60.Ar ifname .
61This option is deprecated and is now a no-op.
62.It Ic p Ar ifname Ar 1/0
63Set or reset promiscuous mode on interface
64.Ar ifname .
65.Pp
66.It Ic j Ar mcast-addr Ar ifname Op Ar source-addr
67Join the multicast address
68.Ar mcast-addr
69on the interface with name
70.Ar ifname .
71.Pp
72If an optional source
73.Ar source-addr
74is specified, a source-specific join will be performed;
75if
76.Nm
77is already joined to the multicast address, the source
78will be added to its filter list.
79.Pp
80.It Ic l Ar mcast-addr Ar ifname Op Ar source-addr
81Leave the multicast address
82.Ar mcast-addr
83on the interface with address
84.Ar ifname .
85If a source
86.Ar source-addr
87is specified, only that source will be left.
88.\"
89.It Ic i Ar mcast-addr Ar ifname Ar n Ar source-addr ...
90Set the socket with membership of
91.Ar mcast-addr
92on interface
93.Ar ifname
94to include filter mode, and add
95.Ar n
96sources beginning with
97.Ar source-addr
98to the inclusion filter list.
99.\"
100.It Ic e Ar mcast-addr Ar ifname Ar n Ar source-addr ...
101Set the socket with membership of
102.Ar mcast-addr
103on interface
104.Ar ifname
105to exclude filter mode, and add
106.Ar n
107sources beginning with
108.Ar source-addr
109to the exclusion filter list.
110.\"
111.It Ic t Ar mcast-addr Ar ifname Ar source-addr
112Set the socket with membership of
113.Ar mcast-addr
114on interface
115.Ar ifname
116to block traffic from source
117.Ar source-addr .
118.\"
119.It Ic b Ar mcast-addr Ar ifname Ar source-addr
120Set the socket with membership of
121.Ar mcast-addr
122on interface
123.Ar ifname
124to allow traffic from source
125.Ar source-addr .
126.\"
127.Pp
128.It Ic g Ar mcast-addr Ar ifname Ar n
129Print
130.Ar n
131source filter entries for
132.Ar mcast-addr
133on interface
134.Ar ifname .
135.\"
136.Pp
137.It Ic f Ar filename
138Read commands from the file
139.Ar filename .
140.It Ic s Ar n
141Sleep for
142.Ar n
143seconds.
144.It Ic ?\&
145List legal commands.
146.It Ic q
147Quit the program.
148.El
149.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
150For each command implemented by
151.Nm ,
152the address family of each argument must be identical; it is not possible
153to mix IPv4 multicast memberships with IPv6, for example.
154.Pp
155To support IPv6, all commands have now changed to accept an interface
156name rather than an interface address.
157For IPv4, the program will perform
158a lookup of the primary IP address based on the interface name.
159This may fail if no primary IP address is assigned.
