1 | .IP "\fB\-\-unixctl=\fIsocket\fR" |
2 | Sets the name of the control socket on which \fB\*(PN\fR listens for | |
3 | runtime management commands (see \fBRUNTIME MANAGEMENT COMMANDS\fR, | |
4 | below). If \fIsocket\fR does not begin with \fB/\fR, it is | |
5 | interpreted as relative to \fB@RUNDIR@\fR. If \fB\-\-unixctl\fR is | |
6 | not used at all, the default socket is | |
7 | \fB@RUNDIR@/\*(PN.\fIpid\fB.ctl\fR, where \fIpid\fR is \fB\*(PN\fR's | |
8 | process ID. | |

10 | On Windows a local named pipe is used to listen for runtime management |
11 | commands. A file is created in the absolute path as pointed by | |
12 | \fIsocket\fR or if \fB\-\-unixctl\fR is not used at all, a file is | |
13 | created as \fB\*(PN.ctl\fR in the configured \fIOVS_RUNDIR\fR | |
14 | directory. The file exists just to mimic the behavior of a Unix domain socket. | |

16 | Specifying \fBnone\fR for \fIsocket\fR disables the control socket |
17 | feature. |
