NAME¶

bgplgd — a bgpctl FastCGI server

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

bgplgd is a server which implements the FastCGI Protocol to execute bgpctl(8) commands. bgplgd is a simple server that implements a simple web API to query bgpd(8).

bgplgd opens a socket at /run/bgplgd.sock, owned by www-data:www-data, with permissions 0660. It will then drop privileges to user "_bgplgd", unveil(2) the bgpctl(8) binary and restrict itself with pledge(2).

The options are as follows:

-d

Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, bgplgd will run in the foreground and log to stderr.

-p path

Use path instead of bgpctl(8) to query bgpd(8).

-S socket

Use socket instead of the default /run/openbgpd/bgpd.sock to communicate with bgpd(8).

-s socket

Create and bind to alternative local socket at socket.

-U user

Change the owner of /run/bgplgd.sock to user and its primary group instead of the default www:www.

bgplgd provides the following API endpoints. Unless further specified the endpoints do not take any parameters:

/interfaces

Show the interface states.

/memory
