-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-This is the control program of tinc, a secure virtual private network (VPN)
-project.
-.Nm
-communicates with
-.Xr tincd 8
-to alter and inspect the running VPN's state.
-.Sh OPTIONS
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl n, -net Ns = Ns Ar NETNAME
-Communicate with tincd(8) connected with
-.Ar NETNAME .
-.It Fl -pidfile Ns = Ns Ar FILENAME
-Use the cookie from
-.Ar FILENAME
-to authenticate with a running tinc daemon.
-If unspecified, the default is
-.Pa @localstatedir@/run/tinc. Ns Ar NETNAME Ns Pa .pid.
-.It Fl -help
-Display short list of options.
-.It Fl -version
-Output version information and exit.
-.El
-.Sh ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Ev NETNAME
-If no netname is specified on the command line with the
-.Fl n
-option, the value of this environment variable is used.
-.El
-.Sh COMMANDS
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It init Op Ar name
-Create initial configuration files and RSA and ECDSA keypairs with default length.
-If no
-.Ar name
-for this node is given, it will be asked for.
-.It get Ar variable
-Print the current value of configuration variable
-.Ar variable .
-If more than one variable with the same name exists,
-the value of each of them will be printed on a separate line.
-.It set Ar variable Ar value
-Set configuration variable
-.Ar variable
-to the given
-.Ar value .
-All previously existing configuration variables with the same name are removed.
-To set a variable for a specific host, use the notation
-.Ar host Ns Li . Ns Ar variable .
-.It add Ar variable Ar value
-As above, but without removing any previously existing configuration variables.
-.It del Ar variable Op Ar value
-Remove configuration variables with the same name and
-.Ar value .
-If no
-.Ar value
-is given, all configuration variables with the same name will be removed.
-.It edit Ar filename
-Start an editor for the given configuration file.
-You do not need to specify the full path to the file.
-.It export
-Export the host configuration file of the local node to standard output.
-.It export-all
-Export all host configuration files to standard output.
-.It import Op Fl -force
-Import host configuration data generated by the
-.Nm
-export command from standard input.
-Already existing host configuration files are not overwritten unless the option
-.Fl -force
-is used.
-.It exchange Op Fl -force
-The same as export followed by import.
-.It exchange-all Op Fl -force
-The same as export-all followed by import.
-.It start Op tincd options
-Start
-.Xr tincd 8 ,
-optionally with the given extra options.
-.It stop
-Stop
-.Xr tincd 8 .
-.It restart
-Restart
-.Xr tincd 8 .
-.It reload
-Partially rereads configuration files. Connections to hosts whose host
-config files are removed are closed. New outgoing connections specified
-in
-.Xr tinc.conf 5
-will be made.
-.It pid
-Shows the PID of the currently running
-.Xr tincd 8 .
-.It generate-keys Op bits
-Generate both RSA and ECDSA keypairs (see below) and exit.
-.It generate-ecdsa-keys
-Generate public/private ECDSA keypair and exit.
-.It generate-rsa-keys Op bits
-Generate public/private RSA keypair and exit.
-If
-.Ar bits
-is omitted, the default length will be 2048 bits.
-When saving keys to existing files, tinc will not delete the old keys;
-you have to remove them manually.
-.It dump [reachable] nodes
-Dump a list of all known nodes in the VPN.
-If the keyword reachable is used, only lists reachable nodes.
-.It dump edges
-Dump a list of all known connections in the VPN.
-.It dump subnets
-Dump a list of all known subnets in the VPN.
-.It dump connections
-Dump a list of all meta connections with ourself.
-.It dump graph | digraph
-Dump a graph of the VPN in
-.Xr dotty 1
-format.
-Nodes are colored according to their reachability:
-red nodes are unreachable, orange nodes are indirectly reachable, green nodes are directly reachable.
-Black nodes are either directly or indirectly reachable, but direct reachability has not been tried yet.
-.It info Ar node | subnet | address
-Show information about a particular node, subnet or address.
-If an address is given, any matching subnet will be shown.
-.It purge
-Purges all information remembered about unreachable nodes.
-.It debug Ar N
-Sets debug level to
-.Ar N .
-.It log Op Ar N
-Capture log messages from a running tinc daemon.
-An optional debug level can be given that will be applied only for log messages sent to
-.Nm tincctl .
-.It retry
-Forces
-.Xr tincd 8
-to try to connect to all uplinks immediately.
-Usually
-.Xr tincd 8
-attempts to do this itself,
-but increases the time it waits between the attempts each time it failed,
-and if
-.Xr tincd 8
-didn't succeed to connect to an uplink the first time after it started,
-it defaults to the maximum time of 15 minutes.
-.It disconnect Ar NODE
-Closes the meta connection with the given
-.Ar NODE .
-.It top
-If
-.Nm
-is compiled with libcurses support, this will display live traffic statistics
-for all the known nodes, similar to the UNIX
-.Xr top 1
-command.
-See below for more information.
-.It pcap
-Dump VPN traffic going through the local tinc node in
-.Xr pcap-savefile 5
-format to standard output,
-from where it can be redirected to a file or piped through a program that can parse it directly,
-such as
-.Xr tcpdump 8 .
-.El
-.Sh EXAMPLES
-Examples of some commands:

-Example of configuring tinc using
-.Nm :
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-tincctl -n vpn init foo
-tincctl -n vpn add Subnet 192.168.1.0/24
-tincctl -n vpn add bar.Address bar.example.com
-tincctl -n vpn add ConnectTo bar
-tincctl -n vpn export | gpg --clearsign | mail -s "My config" vpnmaster@example.com
-.Ed
-.Sh TOP
-The top command connects to a running tinc daemon and repeatedly queries its per-node traffic counters.
-It displays a list of all the known nodes in the left-most column,
-and the amount of bytes and packets read from and sent to each node in the other columns.
-By default, the information is updated every second.
-The behaviour of the top command can be changed using the following keys:
-.Bl -tag
-.It Ic s
-Change the interval between updates.
-After pressing the
-.Ic s
-key, enter the desired interval in seconds, followed by enter.
-Fractional seconds are honored.
-Intervals lower than 0.1 seconds are not allowed.
-.It Ic c
-Toggle between displaying current traffic rates (in packets and bytes per second)
-and cumulative traffic (total packets and bytes since the tinc daemon started).
-.It Ic n
-Sort the list of nodes by name.
-.It Ic i
-Sort the list of nodes by incoming amount of bytes.
-.It Ic I
-Sort the list of nodes by incoming amount of packets.
-.It Ic o
-Sort the list of nodes by outgoing amount of bytes.
-.It Ic O
-Sort the list of nodes by outgoing amount of packets.
-.It Ic t
-Sort the list of nodes by sum of incoming and outgoing amount of bytes.
-.It Ic T
-Sort the list of nodes by sum of incoming and outgoing amount of packets.
-.It Ic b
-Show amount of traffic in bytes.
-.It Ic k
-Show amount of traffic in kilobytes.
-.It Ic M
-Show amount of traffic in megabytes.
-.It Ic G
-Show amount of traffic in gigabytes.
-.It Ic q
-Quit.
