Overrides the definition of .Ar macro in the configuration file. .It Fl d Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, .Nm will run in the foreground and log to .Em stderr . .It Fl f Ar file Specify an alternative configuration file. .It Fl n Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity. .It Fl s Ar socket Use an alternate location for the default control socket. .It Fl v Produce more verbose output. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/var/run/ldpd.sockXX" -compact .It Pa /etc/ldpd.conf Default .Nm configuration file. .It Pa /var/run/ldpd.sock .Ux Ns -domain socket used for communication with .Xr ldpctl 8 . .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mpe 4 , .Xr ldpd.conf 5 , .Xr ldpctl 8 , .Xr rc.conf 8 .Sh STANDARDS .Rs .%A E.
