In SecurePlatform, executable operating system files are located in the following directories:
/bin/sbin/usr/bin/usr/sbin
To access the executable files, you must enter Expert Mode. Only cpshell commands are available in Standard Mode. It is not necessary to change directories to use the commands listed in this appendix, because the four directories, listed above, are included in the $PATH statement.
Executable files for other Check Point products, such as VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG, are discussed in the VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG Commands appendix.
Some commands are listed twice. When a command is listed twice, the second instance is usually a symbolic link.
C O M M A N D S
The following list contains the command, its location, permissions, owner and group, and a brief explanation. Where appropriate, command usage is also included.

cp [OPTION]... SOURCE DESTcp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORYcp [OPTION]... --target-directory=DIRECTORY SOURCE...Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.
By default, sparse SOURCE files are detected by a crude heuristic and thecorresponding DEST file is made sparse as well. That is the behaviorselected by --sparse=auto. Specify --sparse=always to create a sparse DEST file whenever the SOURCE file contains a long enough sequence of zero bytes.Use --sparse=never to inhibit creation of sparse files.The backup suffix is `~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values: none, off never make backups (even if --backup is given) numbered, to make numbered backups existing, nil numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise simple, never always make simple backups As a special case, cp makes a backup of SOURCE when the force and backup options are given and SOURCE and DEST are the same name for an existing, regular file.

debugfs [-b blocksize] [-s superblock] [-f cmd_file] [-R request] [-V] [[-w] [-c] device]
O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-b blocksize forces the use of the given block size for the file system, rather than detecting the correct block size as normal
-s superblock causes the file system superblock to be read from the given block number, rather than the default (1). If you give a -s option, you must also give a -b option
-f cmd_file causes debugfs to read in commands from cmd_file, and execute them; when debugfs is finished executing those commands, it will exit
-R request causes debugfs to execute the single command specified by request
-V display version and exit
-w device specifies the file system should be opened in read-write mode; without this option, the file system is opened in read-only mode
127
D0
-c device specifies the file system should be opened in catastrophic mode, in which the inode and group bitmaps are not read initially; can be useful for filesystems with significant corruption, but because of this, catastrophic mode forces the filesystem to be opened read-only
Supported Commands Explanation
cat filespec dump the contents of the inode filespec to stdout
cd filespec change the current working directory to filespec
chroot filespec change the root directory to be the directory filespec
close close the currently open file system
clri file clear the contents of the inode file
dump [-p] filspec out_file dump the contents of the inode filespec to the out put file out_file; if the -p option is given set the owner, group and permissions information on out_file to match filespec
expand_dir filespec expand the directory filespec
feature [fs_feature] [-fs_feature] ...
set or clear various file system features in the superblock; after setting or clearing any file system features that were requested, print the current state of the file system feature set
find_free_block [count [goal]] find the first count free blocks, starting from goal and allocate it
Option Explanation
128
. . .
. .D
find_free_inode [dir [mode]] find a free inode and allocate it; if present, dir specifies the inode number of the directory which the inode is to be located; the second optional argument mode specifies the permissions of the new inode. (if the directory bit is set on the mode, the allocation routine will function differently)
freeb block [count] mark the block number block as not allocated; if the optional argument count is present, then count size blocksize; note that this does not fully initialize all of the data structures; to do this, use the mke2fs program; this is just a call to the low-level library, which sets up the superblock and block descriptors
kill_file filespec deallocate the inode filespec and its blocks; note that this does not remove any directory entries (if any) to this inode; see the rm command if you wish to unlink a file
lcd directory change the current working directory of the debugfs process to directory on the native filesystem
ln filespec dest_file create a link named dest_file which is a link to filespec; note this does not adjust the inode reference counts
logdump [-ac] [-b<block>] [-i<inode>] [-f<journal_file>] [output_file]
dump the contents of the ext3 journal
ls [-l] [-d] filespec print a listing of the files in the directory filespec; the -l flag will list files using a more verbose format; the -d flag will list deleted entries in the directory.
Supported Commands Explanation
129
D0
modify_inode filespec modify the contents of the inode structure in the inode filespec
mkdir filespec make a directory
mknod filespec [p|[[c|b] major minor]]
create a special device file (a named pipe, character or block device); if a character or block device is to be made, the major and minor device numbers must be specified
ncheck inode_num ... take the requested list of inode numbers, and print a listing of pathnames to those inodes
open [-w] [-f] [-i] [-c] [-b blocksize] [-s superblock] device
open a filesystem for editing; the -w flag causes the filesystem to be opened for writing; the -f should be an existing directory on the native filesystem
rm pathname unlink pathname; if this causes the inode pointed to by pathname to have no other references, deallocate the file; this command functions as the unlink() system call
rmdir filespec remove the directory filespec; this function is currently not implemented
setb block [count] mark the block number block as allocated; if the optional argument count is present, then count blocks starting at block number block will be marked as allocated
seti filespec mark inode filespec as in use in the inode bitmap
Supported Commands Explanation
130
. . .
. .D
set_super_value field value set the superblock field field to value; the list of valid superblock fields which can be set via this command can be displayed by using the command: set_super_value -l
show_super_stats [-h] list the contents of the super block and the block group descriptors; if the -h flag is given, only print out the superblock contents
stat filespec display the contents of the inode structure of the inode filespec
testb block [count] test if the block number block is marked as allocated in the block bitmap; if the optional argument count is present, then count blocks starting at block number block will be tested
testi filespec test if the inode filespec is marked as allocated in the inode bitmap
unlink pathname remove the link specified by pathname to an inode; note this does not adjust the inode reference counts

dhcpcd [-dknrBCDHRT] [-l leasetime] [-h hostname] [-t timeout][-i vendorClassID] [-I ClientID] [-c filename] [-s [ipaddr]] [interface]
O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-d force dhcpd to the forground; log to the standard error descriptor; debugging mode
-k sends a SIGTERM signal to the dhcpcd process that is currently running
-n sends SIGALRM signal to the dhcpcd process that is currently running which forces dhcpcd to try to renew the lease; if dhcpcd is not running the flag is ignored and dhcpcd follows the normal startup procedure
-r makes dhcpcd RFC1541 (obsolete) compliant; dhcpcd is RFC2131 compliant unless this option is specified
-B requests broadcast response from DHCP server
-C forces dhcpcd to calculate checksum on received packets
137
D0
-D forces dhcpcd to set domainname of the host to the domainname option supplied by DHCP server; by default dhcpcd will NOT set domainname of the host to the domainname option received from DHCP server
-H forces dhcpcd to set hostname of the host to the hostname option supplied by DHCP server; by default dhcpcd will NOT set hostname of the host to the hostname option received from DHCP server
-R prevents dhcpcd from replacing existing /etc/resolv.conf file
-T test case, when dhcpcd goes through the DHCP negotiation sequence but doesn't actually configure the interface; it does however write the <ConfigDir>/dhcpcd<interface>.info and <ConfigDir>/dhcpcd<interface>.cache files and it does attempt to execute <ConfigDir>/dhcpcd.exe script. The pathname of dhcpcd.exe executable script can be changed with -c <ExecFilePath> option; -T option is used primarily for testing DHCP servers, for obtaining multiple IP addresses for the same dummy interface, and/or configuring virtual interfaces in conjunction with -L <ConfigDir> and -I <ClientID> options
-l leasetime specifies (in seconds) the recommended lease time to the server; note that the server can override this value if it sees fit; this value is used in the DHCPDISCOVER message
Option Explanation
138
. . .
. .D
-h hostname specifies a string used for the hostname option field when dhcpcd sends DHCP messages; some DHCP servers require the hostname option field containing a specific string in the DHCP messages from clients
-t timeout specifies (in seconds ) for how long dhcpcd will try to get an IP address; default is 60 seconds; dhcpcd will not fork into background until it gets a valid IP address in which case dhcpcd will return 0 to the parent process; in a case dhcpcd times out before receiving a valid IP address from DHCP server dhcpcd will return exit code 1 to the parent process
-i vendorClassID specifies the vendor class identifier string. dhcpcd uses the default vendor class identifier string (system name, sytem release, and machine type) if it is not specified
-I ClientID specifies the client identifier string. dhcpcd uses the default client identifier (Ethernet Address of the network interface) if it is not specified
-c filename specifies the command file which is invoked when dhcpcd successfully gets an IP address
-s ipaddr sends DHCP_INFORM message to DHCP server using ipaddr; the optional ipaddr parameter must be in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; if no ipaddr parameter is given on the command line dhcpcd will use the IP address currently assigned to the interface; if there is no IP address currently assigned to the interface dhcpcd will use previously obtained IP address stored in <ConfigDir>/dhcpcd-<interface>.cache file

-daystart measure times (for -amin, -atime, -cmin, -ctime, -mmin, and -mtime) from the beginning of today rather than from 24 hours ago
-depth always true; same as the -d option; -depth can be useful when find is used with cpio to process files that are contained in directories with unusual permissions; it ensures that you have write permission while you are placing files in a directory, then sets the directory's permissions as the last thing

-mount do not descend directories on other filesystems; an alternate name for -xdev, for compatibility with some other versions of find
-noleaf do not optimize by assuming that directories contain 2 fewer subdirectories than their hard link count; this option is needed when searching filesystems that do not follow the Unix directory- link convention, such as CD-ROM or MS-DOS file systems or AFS volume mount points; each directory on a normal Unix filesystem has at least 2 hard links: its name and its ‘.’ entry; additionally, its subdirectories (if any) each have a ‘..’ entry linked to that directory; when find is examining a directory, after it has statted 2 fewer subdirectories than the directory's link count, it knows that the rest of the entries in the directory are non-directories (‘leaf' files in the directory tree); if only the files' names need to be examined, there is no need to stat them; this gives a significant increase in search speed

-newer FILE true if the current file has a more recent last modification time than FILE
-nouser true if the file belongs to an unknown user
-nogroup true if the file belongs to an unknown group
-path PATTERN true if the pathname being examined matches PATTERN; special shell pattern matching characters (‘[‘,’]’, ‘*’, and ‘?’) may be used as part of PATTERN; these characters may be matched explicitly by escaping them with a backslash (‘\’); slashes (‘/’) are treated as normal characters and do not have to be matched explicitly

-perm [+|-]MODE the MODE may be either symbolic (see chmod) or an octal number; if the MODE is symbolic, a starting value of zero is assumed and the mode sets or clears permissions without regard to the process' file mode creation mask; if the MODE is octal, only bits 07777 (S_ISUID | S_ISGID | S_ISTXT | S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO) of the file's MODE bits participate in the comparison; if the MODE is preceded by a dash (‘-’), this primary evaluates to true if at least all of the bits in the mode are set in the file's MODE bits; if the MODE is preceded by a plus (‘+’), this primary evaluates to true if any of the bits in the MODE are set in the file's MODE bits; otherwise, this primary evaluates to true if the bits in the MODE exactly match the file's MODE bits; note, the first character of a symbolic mode may not be a dash (‘-’).
-regex PATTERN true if the whole path of the file matches PATTERN using regular expression; to match a file named ./foo/xyzzy, you can use the regular expression .*/[xyz]* or .*/foo/.*, but not xyzzy or /foo/
-size N[bckw] true if the file's size, rounded up, in 512-byte blocks is N; if N is followed by a c, then the primary is true if the file's size is N bytes (characters)

-user NAME true if the file belongs to the user NAME; if NAME is numeric and there is no such user name, then NAME is treated as a user ID
-xtype [bcdpfls] the same as -type unless the file is a symbolic link; for symbolic links: if -follow has not been given, true if the file is a link to a file of type c; if -follow has been given, true if c is ‘l’; in other words, for symbolic links, -xtype checks the type of the file that -type does not check

Action Explanation
-exec COMMAND true if the program named COMMAND returns a zero value as its exit status; optional arguments may be passed to the COMMAND; the expression must be terminated by a semicolon (‘;’); if the string ‘{}’ appears anywhere in the COMMAND name or the arguments it is replaced by the pathname of the current file; COMMAND will be executed from the directory from which find was executed; COMMAND and arguments are not subject to the further expansion of shell patterns and constructs
-fprint FILE true; print the full file name into file FILE; if file does not exist when find is run, it is created; if it does exist, it is truncated; the file names /dev/stdout and /dev/stderr are handled specially; they refer to the standard output and standard error output, respectively
-fprint0 FILE true; like -print0 but write to FILE like -fprint
-fprintf FILE FORMAT true; like -printf but write to FILE like -fprint
-ok COMMAND [argument ...]; the -ok primary is identical to the -exec primary with the exception that find requests user affirmation for the execution of the COMMAND by printing a message to the terminal and reading a response; if the response is other than ‘y’ the COMMAND is not executed and the value of the -ok expression is false
205
F0
-print this primary always evaluates to true; it prints the pathname of the current file to standard output; if none of -exec, -ls, -print0, or -ok is specified, the given expression shall be effectively replaced by (given expression) -print
-print0 this primary always evaluates to true; it prints the pathname of the current file to standard output, followed by an ASCII NUL character (character code 0).
-printf FORMAT true; print FORMAT on the standard output, interpreting ‘\’ escapes and ‘%’ directives; field widths and precisions can be specified as with the ‘printf’ C function; unlike -print, -printf does not add a newline at the end of the string
-prune this primary always evaluates to true; it causes find to not descend into the current file; note, the -prune primary has no effect if the -d option was specified
-ls this primary always evaluates to true; the following information for the current file is written to standard output: its inode number, size in 512-byte blocks, file permissions, number of hard links, owner, group, size in bytes, last modification time, and pathname; if the file is a block or character special file, the major and minor numbers will be displayed instead of the size in bytes; if the file is a symbolic link, the pathname of the linked-to file will be displayed preceded by ‘->’; the format is identical to that produced by ls -dgils

ksymoops [OPTIONS]All flags can occur more than once. With the exception of -o and -d which are cumulative, the last occurrence of each flag is used. Note that "-v my.vmlinux -V" will be taken as "No vmlinux available" but "-V -v my.vmlinux" will read my.vmlinux. You will be warned about such combinations. Each occurrence of -d increases the debug level. Each -o flag can refer to a directory or to a single object file. If a directory is specified then all *.o files in that directory and its subdirectories are assumed to be modules. If any of the vmlinux, object, ksyms or system.map options contain the string *r (*m, *n, *s) then it is replaced at run time by the current value of `uname -r` (-m, -n, -s).

Journal Option Explanation
size=journal-size Create a journal stored in the filesystem of size journal -size megabytes. The size of the journal must be at least 1024 filesystem blocks (i.e., 1MB if using 1k blocks, 4MB if using 4k blocks, etc.) and may be no more than 102,400 filesystem blocks. The journal must fit within the newly created filesystem.
device=external-journal Attach the filesystem to the journal block device located on external-journal. The external journal must already have been created using the command mke2fs -O journal_dev external-journal Note that external-journal must have been created with the same block size as the new filesystem. Instead of specifying a device name directly, external-journal can also be specified by either LABEL=label or UUID=UUID to locate the external journal by either the volume label or UUID stored in the ext2 superblock at the start of the journal. Use dumpe2fs(8) to display a journal device's volume label and UUID. See also the -L option of tune2fs(8).
File System Feature Option Explanation
sparse_super Create a filesystem with fewer superblock backup copies (saves space on large filesystems).
filetype Store file type information in directory entries.

mount [OPTIONS]mount -t fstype something somewheremount devicemount directorymount -t type dev dirIf the mount command is issued without options, a list of mounted file systems is displayed.Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.Note that one does not really mount a device, one mountsa filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:mount --bind olddir newdirA device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,or by label.
O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-V print version
-h display help and exit
-l add the ext2, ext3 and XFS labels in the mount output; mount must have permission to read the disk device (e.g. be suid root) for this to work
-a mount all file systems mentioned in /etc/fstab
416
. . .
. .M
-t FSTYPE the argument following the -t is used to indicate the file system type
-O used in conjunction with -a, to limit the set of filesystems to which the -a is applied
-L LABEL mount the partition that has the specified LABEL
-U UUID mount the partition that has the specified UUID; option requires the file /proc/partitions (present since Linux 2.1.116) to exist
-n mount without writing in /etc/mtab; this is neces sary for example when /etc is on a read-only file system
-f causes everything to be done except for the actual system call; if it's not obvious, this ‘fakes’ mounting the file system; this option is useful in conjunction with the -v flag to determine what the mount command is trying to do; can also be used to add entries for devices that were mounted earlier with the -n option
-F used in conjunction with -a; fork off a new incarnation of mount for each device; this will do the mounts on different devices or different NFS servers in parallel; this has the advantage that it is faster; also NFS timeouts go in parallel; a disadvantage is that the mounts are done in undefined order; thus, you cannot use this option if you want to mount both /usr and /usr/spool
-r mount the file system read-only; a synonym is -o ro
Option Explanation
417
M0
-s tolerate sloppy mount options rather than failing; this will ignore mount options not supported by a filesystem type; not all filesystems support this option; this option exists for support of the Linux autofs-based automounter
-v be verbose
-w mount the file system read/write; this is the default; a synonym is -o rw
-o options options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options; some of these options are only useful when they appear in the /etc/fstab file
Option (for use with -o) Explanation
async all I/O to the file system should be done asynchronously.
atime update inode access time for each access; this is the default
auto can be mounted with the -a option
defaults use default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async
dev interpret character or block special devices on the file system
exec permit execution of binaries
noatime do not update inode access times on this file system (e.g, for faster access on the news spool to speed up news servers)
noauto can only be mounted explicitly (i.e., the -a option will not cause the file system to be mounted)
Option Explanation
418
. . .
. .M
nodev do not interpret character or block special devices on the file system
noexec do not allow execution of any binaries on the mounted file system; this option might be useful for a server that has file systems containing binaries for architectures other than its own
nosuid do not allow set-user-identifier or set-group-identifier bits to take effect; (this seems safe, but is in fact rather unsafe if you have suidperl(1) installed)
nouser forbid an ordinary (i.e., non-root) user to mount the file system; this is the default
remount attempt to remount an already-mounted file system: this is commonly used to change the mount flags for a file system, especially to make a readonly file system writeable
ro mount the file system read-only
rw mount the file system read-write
suid allow set-user-identifier or set-group-identifier bits to take effect
sync all I/O to the file system should be done synchronously
user allow an ordinary user to mount the file system; this option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line user,exec,dev,suid)

ping [-LRUbdfnqrvV] [-c count] [-i interval] [-w wait][-p pattern] [-s packetsize] [-t ttl] [-I interface address][ -T timestamp option ] [ -Q tos ] host
O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-c count Stop after sending (and receiving) count ECHO_RESPONSE packets.
-d Set the SO_DEBUG option on the socket being used.
-f Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed, while for ever ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed. This provides a rapid display of how many packets are being dropped. Only the super-user may use this option. This can be very hard on a network and should be used with caution.
-i wait Wait wait seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for one second between each packet. This option is incompatible with the -f option.
452
. . .
. .P
-l preload If preload is specified, ping sends that many packets as fast as possible before falling into its normal mode of behavior. Only the super-user may use this option.
-n Numeric output only. No attempt will be made to lookup symbolic names for host addresses.
-p pattern You may specify up to 16 ``pad'' bytes to fill out the packet you send. This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems in a network. For example, ``-p ff'' will cause the sent packet to be filled with all ones.
-q Quiet output. Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at startup time and when finished.
-R Record route. Includes the RECORD_ROUTE option in the ECHO_REQUEST packet and displays the route buffer on returned packets. Note that the IP header is only large enough for nine such routes. Many hosts ignore or discard this option.
-r Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached network. If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error is returned. This option can be used to ping a local host through an interface that has no route through it (e.g., after the interface was dropped by routed(8)).
-s packetsize Specifies the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is 56, which translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined with the 8 bytes of ICMP header data.
Option Explanation

Option Explanation
-l PRELOAD if PRELOAD is specified, ping6 sends that many packets as fast as possible before falling into its normal mode of behavior; only the super-user may use this option

setleds [-v] [-L] [-D] [-F] [[+|-][ num | caps | scroll ]]Thus,setleds +caps -num will set CapsLock, clear NumLock and leave ScrollLock unchanged. The settings before and after the change (if any) are reported when the -v option is given or when no change is requested.Normally, setleds influences the vt flag settings (and these are usually reflected in the leds). With -L, setleds only sets the leds, and leaves the flags alone. With -D, setleds sets both the flags and the default flags, so that a subsequent reset will not change the flags.
O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-F This is the default. Only change the VT flags (and their setting may be reflected by the keyboard leds).
-D Change both the VT flags and their default settings (so that a subsequent reset will not undo the change). This might be useful for people who always want to have numlock set.
-L Do not touch the VT flags, but only change the leds. From this moment on, the leds will no longer reflect the VT flags (but display whatever is put into them). The command setleds -L (without further arguments) will restore the situation in which the leds reflect the VT flags.

O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-b bits Specifies the number of bits in the ephemeral protocol version 1 server key (default 768).
-d Debug mode. The server sends verbose debug output to the system log, and does not put itself in the background. The server also will not fork and will only process one connection. This option is only intended for debugging for the server. Multiple -d options increase the debugging level. Maximum is 3.
-e When this option is specified, sshd will send the output to the standard error instead of the system log.
-f configuration_file Specifies the name of the configuration file. The default is /etc/ssh/sshd_config. sshd refuses to start if there is no configuration file.
598
. . .
. .S
-g login_grace_time Gives the grace time for clients to authenticate themselves (default 600 seconds). If the client fails to authenticate the user within this many seconds, the server disconnects and exits. A value of zero indicates no limit.
-h host_key_file Specifies a file from which a host key is read. This option must be given if sshd is not run as root (as the normal host key files are normally not readable by anyone but root). The default is /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key for protocol version 1, and /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key and /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key for protocol version 2. It is possible to have multiple host key files for the different protocol versions and host key algorithms.
-i Specifies that sshd is being run from inetd. sshd is normally not run from inetd because it needs to generate the server key before it can respond to the client, and this may take tens of seconds. Clients would have to wait too long if the key was regenerated every time. However, with small key sizes (e.g., 512) using sshd from inetd may be feasible.
Option Explanation
599
S0
-k key_gen_time Specifies how often the ephemeral protocol version 1 server key is regenerated (default 3600 seconds, or one hour). The motivation for regenerating the key fairly often is that the key is not stored anywhere, and after about an hour, it becomes impossible to recover the key for decrypting intercepted communications even if the machine is cracked into or physically seized. A value of zero indicates that the key will never be regenerated.
-o option Can be used to give options in the format used in the configuration file. This is useful for specifying options for which there is no separate command-line flag.
-p port Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections (default 22). Multiple port options are permitted. Ports specified in the configuration file are ignored when a command-line port is specified.
-q Quiet mode. Nothing is sent to the system log. Normally the beginning, authentication, and termination of each connection is logged.
-t Test mode. Only check the validity of the configuration file and sanity of the keys. This is useful for updating sshd reliably as configuration options may change.
Option Explanation
600
. . .
. .S
-u len This option is used to specify the size of the field in the utmp structure that holds the remote host name. If the resolved host name is longer than len, the dotted decimal value will be used instead. This allows hosts with very long host names that over- flow this field to still be uniquely identified. Specifying -u0 indicates that only dotted decimal addresses should be put into the utmp file. -u0 is also be used to prevent sshd from making DNS requests unless the authentication mechanism or configuration requires it. Authentication mechanisms that may require DNS include RhostsAuthentication, RhostsRSAAuthentication, HostbasedAuthentication and using a from="pattern-list" option in a key file. Configuration options that require DNS include using a USER@HOST pattern in AllowUsers or DenyUsers.
-D When this option is specified sshd will not detach and does not become a daemon. This allows easy monitoring of sshd.
-4 Forces sshd to use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Forces sshd to use IPv6 addresses only.

syslogd [-a socket] [-d] [-f config file] [-h] [-l hostlist] [-m interval] [-n] [-p socket] [-r] [-s domainlist] [-v] [-x]
O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-a socket using this argument you can specify additional sockets from that syslogd has to listen to. This is needed if you're going to let some daemon run within a chroot() environment. You can use up to 19 additional sockets. If your environment needs even more, you have to increase the symbol MAXFUNIX within the syslogd.c source file. An example for a chroot() daemon is described by the people from OpenBSD at http://www.psionic.com/papers/dns.html. on the command line will cause the log daemon to forward any remote messages it receives to forwarding hosts which have been defined.
-l hostlist specify a hostname that should be logged only with its simple hostname and not the fqdn. Multiple hosts may be specified using the colon (``:'') separator.
623
S0
-m interval The syslogd logs a mark timestamp regularly. The default interval between two -- MARK -- lines is 20 minutes. This can be changed with this option. Setting the interval to zero turns it off entirely.
-n Avoid auto-backgrounding. This is needed especially if the syslogd is started and controlled by init(8).
-p socket You can specify an alternative unix domain socket instead of /dev/log.
-r This option will enable the facility to receive message from the network using an internet domain socket with the syslog service (see services(5)). The default is to not receive any messages from the network. This option is introduced in version 1.3 of the sysklogd package. Please note that the default behavior is the opposite of how older versions behave, so you might have to turn this on.
-s domainlist Specify a domainname that should be stripped off before logging. Multiple domains may be specified using the colon (``:'') separator. Please be advised that no sub-domains may be specified but only entire domains. For example if -s north.de is specified and the host logging resolves to satu.infodrom.north.de no domain would be cut, you will have to specify two domains like: -s north.de:infodrom.north.de.
-v Print version and exit.

tail [OPTION]... [FILE]...Print the last 10 lines of each FILE to standard output.With more than one FILE, precede each with a header giving the file name.With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
--retry keep trying to open a file even if it is inaccessible when tail starts or if it becomes inaccessible later -- useful only with -f
-c N output the last N bytes
--bytes=N output the last N bytes
-f [={name|descriptor}] output appended data as the file grows; -f, --follow, and --follow=descriptor are equivalent

output appended data as the file grows; -f, --follow, and --follow=descriptor are equivalent
-n N output the last N lines, instead of the last 10
--lines=N output the last N lines, instead of the last 10
627
T0
If the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines) is a `+', print beginning with the Nth item from the start of each file, otherwise, print the last N items in the file. N may have a multiplier suffix: b for 512, k for 1024, m for 1048576 (1 Meg). A first OPTION of -VALUE or +VALUE is treated like -n VALUE or -n +VALUE unless VALUE has one of the [bkm] suffix multipliers, in which case it is treated like -c VALUE or -c +VALUE. Warning: a first option of +VALUE is obsolescent, and support for it will be withdrawn.
With --follow (-f), tail defaults to following the file descriptor, which means that even if a tail'ed file is renamed, tail will continue to track its end. This default behavior is not desirable when you really want to track the actual name of the file, not the file descriptor (e.g., log rotation). Use --follow=name in that case. That causes tail to track the named file by reopening it periodically to see if it has been removed and recreated by some other program.
--max-unchanged-stats=N with --follow=name, reopen a FILE which has not changed size after N (default 5) iterations to see if it has been unlinked or renamed (this is the usual case of rotated log files)
--pid=PID with -f, terminate after process ID, PID dies
-q never output headers giving file names
--quiet never output headers giving file names
--silent never output headers giving file names
-s S with -f, each iteration lasts approximately S (default 1) seconds
--sleep-interval=S with -f, each iteration lasts approximately S (default 1) seconds

-E Use algo:secret for decrypting IPsec ESP packets. Algorithms may be des-cbc, 3des-cbc, blowfish-cbc, rc3-cbc, cast128-cbc, or none. The default is des-cbc. The ability to decrypt packets is only present if tcpdump was compiled with cryptography enabled. secret the ascii text for ESP secret key. We cannot take arbitrary binary value at this moment. The option assumes RFC2406 ESP, not RFC1827 ESP. The option is only for debugging purposes, and the use of this option with truly `secret' key is discouraged. By presenting IPsec secret key onto command line you make it visible to others, via ps(1) and other occasions match. On Linux systems with 2.2 or later kernels, an interface argument of ‘any’ can be used to capture packets from all interfaces. Note that captures on the ‘any’ device will not be done in promiscuous mode.
-l Make stdout line buffered. Useful if you want to see the data while capturing it. E.g., ‘tcpdump -l | tee dat’ or ‘tcpdump -l > dat and tail -f dat’.
-n Don't convert host addresses to names. This can be used to avoid DNS lookups.
-nn Don't convert protocol and port numbers etc. to names either.
-N Don't print domain name qualification of host names. E.g., if you give this flag then tcpdump will print ‘nic’ instead of ‘nic.ddn.mil’.
-m Load SMI MIB module definitions from file module. This option can be used several times to load several MIB modules into tcpdump.
-O Do not run the packet-matching code optimizer. This is useful only if you suspect a bug in the optimizer.

-p Don't put the interface into promiscuous mode. Note that the interface might be in promiscuous mode for some other reason; hence, `-p' cannot be used as an abbreviation for `ether host {local-hw- addr} or ether broadcast'.
-q Quick (quiet?) output. Print less protocol information so output lines are shorter.
-r Read packets from file (which was created with the -w option). Standard input is used if file is ‘-’.
-R Assume ESP/AH packets to be based on old specification (RFC1825 to RFC1829). If specified, tcpdump will not print replay prevention field. Since there is no protocol version field in ESP/AH specification, tcpdump cannot deduce the version of ESP/AH protocol.
-s Snarf snaplen bytes of data from each packet rather you're interested in. Setting snaplen to 0 means use the required length to catch whole packets.
-S Print absolute, rather than relative, TCP sequence numbers.
-t Don't print a timestamp on each dump line.
-tt Print an unformatted timestamp on each dump line.
-U Drops root privileges and changes user ID to user and group ID to the primary group of user. Note! Red Hat Linux automatically drops the privileges to user ‘pcap’ if nothing else is specified.

-T Force packets selected by ‘expression’ to be interpreted the specified type. Currently known types are cnfp (Cisco NetFlow protocol), rpc (Remote Procedure Call), rtp (Real-Time Applications protocol), rtcp (Real-Time Applications control protocol), snmp (Simple Network Management Protocol), vat (Visual Audio Tool), and wb (distributed White Board).
-u Print undecoded NFS handles.
-v (Slightly more) verbose output. For example, the time to live, identification, total length and options in an IP packet are printed. Also enables additional packet integrity checks such as verifying the IP and ICMP header checksum. SMB packets are also printed in full.
-vv Even more verbose output. For example, additional fields are printed from NFS reply packets.
-vvv Even more verbose output. For example, telnet SB ... SE options are printed in full. With -X telnet options are printed in hex as well.
-w Write the raw packets to file rather than parsing and printing them out. They can later be printed with the -r option. Standard output is used if file is ‘-’.
-x Print each packet (minus its link level header) in hex. The smaller of the entire packet or snaplen bytes will be printed.
-X When printing hex, print ascii too.

Option Explanation
-b forces a ``break'' from option processing, causing any further shell arguments to be treated as non-option arguments. The remaining arguments will not be interpreted as shell options. This may be used to pass options to a shell script without confusion or possible subterfuge. The shell will not run a set-user ID script without this option.
-c Commands are read from the following argument (which must be present, and must be a single argument), stored in the command shell variable for reference, and executed. Any remaining arguments are placed in the argv shell variable.
-d The shell loads the directory stack from ~/.cshdirs as described under Startup and shutdown, whether or not it is a login shell. (+)
-Dname[=value] Sets the environment variable name to value. (Domain/OS only) (+)
-e The shell exits if any invoked command terminates abnormally or yields a non-zero exit status.

-l The shell is a login shell. Applicable only if -l is the only flag specified.
-m The shell loads ~/.tcshrc even if it does not belong to the effective user. Newer versions of su(1) can pass -m to the shell. (+)
-n The shell parses commands but does not execute them. This aids in debugging shell scripts.
-q The shell accepts SIGQUIT (see Signal handling) and behaves when it is used under a debugger. Job control is disabled. (u)
-s Command input is taken from the standard input.
-t The shell reads and executes a single line of input. A `\' may be used to escape the newline at the end of this line and continue onto another line.
-v Sets the verbose shell variable, so that command input is echoed after history substitution.

-d Specifies the delay between screen updates. You can change this with the s interactive command.
-q This causes top to refresh without any delay. If the caller has superuser priviledges, top runs with the highest possible priority.
-S Specifies cumulative mode, where each process is listed with the CPU time that it as well as its dead children has spent. This is like the -S flag to ps (1). See the discussion below of the S interactive command.
-s Tells top to run in secure mode. This disables the potentially dangerous of the interactive commands (see below). A secure top is a nifty thing to leave running on a spare terminal.
-i Start top ignoring any idle or zombie processes. See the interactive command i below.

O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-f Set the initial time-to-live used in the first out-going probe packet.
-F Set the "don't fragment" bit.
-d Enable socket level debugging.
-g Specify a loose source route gateway (8 maximum).
-i Specify a network interface to obtain the source IP address for outgoing probe packets. This is normally only useful on a multi-homed host. (See the -s flag for another way to do this.)
-I Use ICMP ECHO instead of UDP datagrams.
-m Set the max time-to-live (max number of hops) used in outgoing probe packets. The default is 30 hops (the same default used for TCP connections).
663
T0
-n Print hop addresses numerically rather than symbolically and numerically (saves a nameserver address-to-name lookup for each gateway found on the path).
-p Set the base UDP port number used in probes (default is 33434). Traceroute hopes that nothing is listening on UDP ports base to base + nhops - 1 at the destination host (so an ICMP PORT_UNREACHABLE message will be returned to terminate the source address in outgoing probe packets. On multi-homed hosts (those with more than one IP address), this option can be used to force the source address to be something other than the IP address of the interface the probe packet is sent on. If the IP address is not one of this machine's interface addresses, an error is returned and nothing is sent. (See the -i flag for another way to do this.)
-t Set the type-of-service in probe packets to the following value (default zero). The value must be a decimal integer in the range 0 to 255. This option can be used to see if different types-of-service result in different paths. (If you are not running 4.4bsd, this may be academic since the normal network services like telnet and ftp don't let you control the TOS). Not all values of TOS are legal or meaningful - see the IP spec for definitions. Useful values are probably `-t 16' (low delay) and `-t 8' (high throughput).
-v Verbose output. Received ICMP packets other than TIME_EXCEEDED and UNREACHABLEs are listed.
-w Set the time (in seconds) to wait for a response to a probe (default 5 sec.).
Option Explanation
664
. . .
. .T
-x Toggle ip checksums. Normally, this prevents traceroute from calculating ip checksums. In some cases, the operating system can overwrite parts of the outgoing packet but not recalculate the checksum (so in some cases the default is to not calcu late checksums and using -x causes them to be cal cualted). Note that checksums are usually required for the last hop when using ICMP ECHO probes (-I). So they are always calculated when using ICMP.
-z Set the time (in milliseconds) to pause between probes (default 0). Some systems such as Solaris and routers such as Ciscos rate limit icmp messages. A good value to use with this this is 500 (e.g. 1/2 second).

O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-c max-mount-counts Adjust the maximal mounts count between two filesystem checks. If max-mount-counts is 0 then the number of times the filesystem is mounted will be disregarded by e2fsck(8) and the kernel. Staggering the mount-counts at which filesystems are forcibly checked will avoid all filesystems being checked at one time when using journaled filesystems. You should strongly consider the consequences of disabling mount-count-dependent checking entirely. Bad disk drives, cables, memory, and kernel bugs could all corrupt a filesystem without marking the filesystem dirty or in error. If you are using journaling on your filesystem, your filesystem will never be marked dirty, so it will not normally be checked. A filesystem error detected by the kernel will still force an fsck on the next reboot, but it may already be too late to prevent data loss at that point. See also the -i option for time-dependent checking.
669
T0
-C mount-count Set the number of times the filesystem has been mounted. Can be used in conjunction with -c to force an fsck on the filesystem at the next reboot.
-e error-behavior Change the behavior of the kernel code when errors are detected. In all cases, a filesystem error will cause e2fsck(8) to check the filesystem on the next boot. error-behavior can be one of the following: WARNING: Removing an external journal from a filesystem which was not cleanly unmounted without first replaying the external journal can result in severe data loss and filesystem corruption.
-g group Set the group which can use reserved filesystem blocks. The group parameter can be a numerical gid or a group name. If a group name is given, it is converted to a numerical gid before it is stored in the superblock.
-i interval-between-checks[d|m|w]
Adjust the maximal time between two filesystem checks. No postfix or d result in days, m in months, and w in weeks. A value of zero will disable the time-dependent checking. It is strongly recommended that either -c (mount-count-dependent) or -i (time-dependent) checking be enabled to force periodic full e2fsck(8) checking of the filesystem. Failure to do so may lead to filesystem corruption due to bad disks, cables, memory, or kernel bugs to go unnoticed until they cause data loss or corruption.
-j Add an ext3 journal to the filesystem. If the -J option is not specified, the default journal parameters will be used to create an appropriately sized journal (given the size of the filesystem) stored within the filesystem. Note that you must be using a kernel which has ext3 support in order to actually make use of the journal.
Option Explanation
670
. . .
. .T
-J journal-options Override the default ext3 journal parameters. Journal options are comma separated, and may take an argument using the equals ('=') sign.
-l List the contents of the filesystem superblock.
-L volume-label Set the volume label of the filesystem. Ext2 filesystem labels can be at most 16 characters long; if volume-label is longer than 16 characters, tune2fs will truncate it and print a warning. The volume label can be used by mount(8), fsck(8), and /etc/fstab(5) (and possibly others) by specifying LABEL=volume_label instead of a block special device name like /dev/hda5.
-m reserved-blocks-percentage
Set the percentage of reserved filesystem blocks.
-M last-mounted-directory Set the last-mounted directory for the filesystem.
-O [^]feature[,...] Set or clear the indicated filesystem features (options) in the filesystem. More than one filesystem feature can be cleared or set by separating features with commas. Filesystem features prefixed with a caret character ('^') will be cleared in the filesystem's superblock; filesystem features without a prefix character or prefixed with a plus character ('+') will be added to the filesystem.
Option Explanation

Journal Option Explanation
size=journal-size Create a journal stored in the filesystem of size journal-size megabytes. The size of the journal must be at least 1024 filesystem blocks (i.e., 1MB if using 1k blocks, 4MB if using 4k blocks, etc.) and may be no more than 102,400 filesystem blocks. There must be enough free space in the filesystem to create a journal of that size.
device=external-journal location of external journal by either the volume label or UUID stored in the ext2 superblock at the start of the journal.
UUID=UUID to locate the external journal by either the volume label or UUID stored in the ext2 superblock at the start of the journal. Use dumpe2fs(8) to display a journal device's volume label and UUID. See also the -L option of tune2fs(8). Only one of the size or device options can be given for a filesystem.

O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-c comment The new user's password file comment field.
-d home_dir The new user will be created using home_dir as the value for the user's login directory. The default is to append the login name to default_home and use that as the login directory name.
-e expire_date The date on which the user account will be disabled. The date is specified in the format YYYY- MM-DD.
-f inactive_days The number of days after a password expires until the account is permanently disabled. A value of 0 disables the account as soon as the password has expired, and a value of -1 disables the feature. The default value is -1.
689

-g initial_group The group name or number of the user's initial login group. The group name must exist. A group number must refer to an already existing group. The default group number is 1.
-G group,[...] option is only valid in conjunction with the -m option. The default is to not create the directory and to not copy any files.
-M The user home directory will not be created, even if the system wide settings from /etc/login.defs is to create home dirs.
-n A group having the same name as the user being added to the system will be created by default. This option will turn off this Red Hat Linux specific behavior.
-r This flag is used to create a system account. That is, an user with an UID lower than value of UID_MIN defined in /etc/login.defs. Note that useradd will not create a home directory for such an user, regardless of the default setting in /etc/login.defs. You have to specify -m option if you want a home directory for a system account to be created. This is an option added by Red Hat.
-p passwd The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3). The default is to disable the account.
-s shell The name of the user's login shell. The default is to leave this field blank, which causes the system to select the default login shell.
-u uid The numerical value of the user's ID. This value must be unique, unless the -o option is used. The value must be non-negative. The default is to use the smallest ID value greater than 99 and greater than every other user. Values between 0 and 99 are typically reserved for system accounts.
Option Explanation

O P T I O N S
Option Explanation
-c comment The new value of the user's password file comment field. It is normally modified using the chfn(1) utility.
-d home_dir The user's new login directory. If the -m option is given the contents of the current home directory will be moved to the new home directory, which is created if it does not already exist.
-e expire_date The date on which the user account will be disabled. The date is specified in the format YYYY- MM-DD.
-f inactive_days The number of days after a password expires until the account is permanently disabled. A value of 0 disables the account as soon as the password has expired, and a value of -1 disables the feature. The default value is -1.
-g initial_group The group name or number of the user's new initial login group. The group name must exist. A group number must refer to an already existing group. The default group number is 1.

-G group,[...] A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member of. Each group is separated from the next by a comma, with no intervening whitespace. The groups are subject to the same restrictions as the group given with the -g option. If the user is currently a member of a group which is not listed, the user will be removed from the group
-l login_name The name of the user will be changed from login to value must be non-negative. Values between 0 and 99 are typically reserved for system accounts. Any files which the user owns and which are located in the directory tree rooted at the user's home directory will have the file user ID changed automatically. Files outside of the user's home directory must be altered manually.
-L lock a user's password. This puts a '!' in front of the encrypted password, effectively disabling the password. You can't use this option with -p or -U.

Option Explanation
[interface-name] the name of the ethernet card that hosts the VLAN you are talking about.

bind-type PER_DEVICE # Allows vlan 5 on eth0 and eth1 to be unique.PER_KERNEL # Forces vlan 5 to be unique across all devices.
FLAGS 1 REORDER_HDR When this is set, the VLAN device will move the ethernet header around to make it look exactly like a real ethernet device. This may help programs such as DHCPd which read the raw ethernet packet and make assumptions about the location of bytes. If you don't need it, don't turn it on, because there will be at least a small performance degradation. Default is OFF.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
PreambleThe licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
763
GNU General Public LicenseA
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0 This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such
program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as
"you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program
does.
1 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program
764
. . .
. .GNU General Public License
a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2 You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
also meet all of these conditions:
a You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
you changed the files and the date of any change.
b You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in
part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a
copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the
Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be
reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then
this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part
of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part
regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control
the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with
the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage
765
GNU General Public LicenseA
or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
4 You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any
third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object
code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed
need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
object code.
5 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically
terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received
766
. . .
. .GNU General Public License
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
6 You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program
(or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
7 Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
third parties to this License.
8 If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement
or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed
on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
767
GNU General Public LicenseA
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
9 If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
10 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
11 If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the
sharing and reuse of software generally.
N O W A R R A N T Y
12 BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS
NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
768
. . .
. .GNU General Public License
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
13 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED
TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
E N D O F T E R M S A N D C O N D I T I O N S
How to Apply These Terms to Your New ProgramsIf you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify itunder the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the FreeSoftware Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)any later version.This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty ofMERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU GeneralPublic License for more details.You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License alongwith this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
769
GNU General Public LicenseA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of authorGnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it undercertain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
