Philippe Charnier 90100551e6 Spelling, add rcsid, remove unused #includes.
Convert 1000000 usec to 1 sec 0 usec.
Use provided safe malloc (rtmalloc()) instead of malloc(): exit on allocation
failure.
Correct use of .Nm
Add usage() and use errx().

.Sh NAME

.Nd query routing daemons for their routing tables
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm rtquery

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm Rtquery
is used to query a RIP network routing daemon,
.Xr routed 8
or
.Xr gated 8 ,
for its routing table by sending a
.Em request
or
.Em poll
command. The routing information in any routing
.Em response
packets returned is displayed numerically and symbolically.
.Pp
.Nm Rtquery
by default uses the
.Em request
command.
When the
.Fl p
option is specified,
.Nm
uses the
.Em poll
command, an
undocumented extension to the RIP protocol supported by
.Xr gated 8 .
When querying
.Xr gated 8 ,
the
.Em poll
command is preferred over the
.Em request
command because the response is not subject to Split Horizon and/or
Poisoned Reverse, and because some versions of
.Xr gated 8
do not answer
the
.Em request
command.
.Nm Routed
does not answer the
.Em poll
command, but
recognizes
.Em request
commands coming from
.Nm
and so answers completely.
.Pp
.Nm Rtquery
is also used to turn tracing on or off in
.Nm routed .
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl n
Normally network and host numbers are displayed both symbolically
and numerically.
The
.Fl n
option displays only the numeric network and host numbers.
.It Fl p
Use the
.Em Poll
command to request full routing information from
.Xr gated 8 .
This is an undocumented extension RIP protocol supported only by
.Xr gated 8 .
.It Fl 1
Query using RIP version 1 instead of RIP version 2.
.It Fl w Ar timeout
Change the delay for an answer from each host.
By default, each host is given 15 seconds to respond.
.It Fl r Ar addr
Ask about the route to destination
.Em addr .
.It Fl a Ar passwd=XXX
.It Fl a Ar md5_passwd=XXX|KeyID
Cause the query to be sent with the indicated cleartext or MD5 password.
.It Fl t Ar op
Change tracing, where
.Em op
is one of the following.
Requests from processes not running with UID 0 or on distant networks
are generally ignored by the daemon except for a message in the system log.
.Xr Gated 8
is likely to ignore these debugging requests.
.El
.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent-two
.It Em on=tracefile
Turn tracing on into the specified file. That file must usually
have been specified when the daemon was started or be the same
as a fixed name, often
.Pa /etc/routed.trace .
.It Em more
Increase the debugging level.
.It Em off
Turn off tracing.
.It Em dump
Dump the daemon's routing table to the current tracefile.
