% 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** Start DLT daemon listening on custom port 3500: **dlt-daemon -p 3500** # EXIT STATUS Non zero is returned in case of failure. # AUTHOR Alexander Wenzel (alexander.aw.wenzel (at) bmw (dot) de) # COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2016 BMW AG.
