NAME
wickedd - network management daemon
SYNOPSIS
wickedd [options]
DESCRIPTION
wickedd provides a service for managing network interfaces. It monitors
the system's interfaces by retrieving relevant information from the
kernel via netlink, sysfs and other interfaces.
It can be accessed via a DBus service, which can be used to reconfigure
interfaces, bring them up or take them down.
COMPONENTS
Additionally to the main wickedd daemon, wicked framework provides sev-
eral helper daemons and supplicants:

OPTIONS
--help Show available options and exit.
--version
Show name and version.
--config filename
By default, the daemon reads its configuration from
/etc/wicked/server.xml. The --config options allows you to spec-
ify a different configuration file.
--debug facility
Enable debugging for facility. By specifying most as the debug
facility, most useful debug options will be enabled. You can
also specify several facilities, separated by commas. Prepend-
ing a minus will turn off the specified facility. For instance,
to enable all debugging facilities except reporting of events,
use "all,-events".
The list of available facilities can be obtained using "--debug
help".
--log-level level
Set log level to one of <error|warning|notice|info|debug>.
--log-target target
Set log target to one of <stderr|syslog>, optionally followed by
a colon and target specific details.
stderr[:options] with the following options:
pid include program pid in each message
syslog[:facility[:options]] with following facilities:
user, daemon, local0 .. local7
and options:
perror log the message to stderr as well
--foreground
Tell the daemon to not background itself at startup.
--recover
By default, wickedd does not read previously saved state when
starting. With this options set, wickedd will load any saved
state and recover valid address configuration.
--systemd
Forces wickedd to use the syslog target for logging. This also
forces wickedd to not report any transient return codes.
FILES
/etc/wicked/server.xml
specifies the global configuration of the daemon. This file may
pull in additional configuration data from the same directory.
/run/wicked/wicked.pid
Location of the PID file written by the daemon when background-
ing itself. The pid directory be changed in the configuration
file.
