DLT-DAEMON(1)

NAME

dlt-daemon - Diagnostic Log and Trace daemon

SYNOPSIS

dlt-daemon [-h] [-d] [-c filename] [-t directory] [-p port]

DESCRIPTION

The DLT daemon is the central place where logs and traces are gathered from different applications, stored temporarily or permanently and transferred to a DLT client application, which can run directly on the GENIVI system or more likely on a external tester device.

  OPTIONS

-h  Display a short help text.

-d  Daemonize, needed in System V init systems.

-c  Load an alternative configuration file. By default the configuration file /etc/dlt.conf is loaded.

-t  Directory for local fifo and user-pipes (Default: /tmp). Applications wanting to connect to a daemon using a custom directory need to be started with the environment variable DLT_PIPE_DIR set appropriately.

-p  Port to monitor for incoming requests (Default: 3490) Applications wanting to connect to a daemon using a custom port need to be started with the environment variable DLT_DAEMON_TCP_PORT set appropriately.

EXAMPLES

Start DLT daemon in background mode: dlt-daemon -d

Start DLT daemon with own configuration: dlt-daemon -c ~/my-dlt-configuration.cfg

Start DLT daemon with custom pipes directory: dlt-daemon -t ~/dlt_pipes
