NGHOOK(8)              DragonFly System Manager's Manual             NGHOOK(8)

NAME
     nghook -- connect to a netgraph(4) node

SYNOPSIS
     nghook [-a] [-d] path [hookname]

DESCRIPTION
     nghook creates a ng_socket(4) socket type node and connects it to hook
     hookname of the node found at path.  If hookname is omitted, ``debug'' is
     assumed.

     At this point all data written to standard input is sent to the node and
     all data received from the node is relayed to standard output.

     The options are as follows:

     -a      Output each read packet in ASCII.

     -d      Increase the debugging verbosity level.

HISTORY
     The netgraph system was designed and first implemented at Whistle Commu-
     nications, Inc. in a version of FreeBSD 2.2 customized for the Whistle
     InterJet.

BUGS
     Although all input is read in unbuffered mode, there's no way to control
     the packetization of the input.
