DESCRIPTION
The ggated utility is a network server for the GEOM Gate class. It runs on a server machine to service GEOM Gate requests from workers placed on a client machine. Keep in mind, that connections between ggatec(8) and ggated are not encrypted.

Available options:

-a address
    Specifies an IP address to bind to.

-h  Print available options.

-n  Do not use TCP_NODELAY option on TCP sockets.

-p port
    Port on which ggated listens for connections. Default is 3080.

    PID file that ggated uses.

-R rcvbuf
    Size of receive buffer to use. Default is 131072 (128kB).

-S sndbuf

-v  Do not fork, run in foreground and print debug information on standard output.

exports file

The format of an exports file is as follows:

    1.2.3.4		RO	/dev/cd0
    1.2.3.0/24	RW	/tmp/test.img
    hostname	WO	/tmp/image

FILES
/var/run/ggated.pid
    The default location of the ggated PID file.

Exit status is 0 on success, or 1 if the command fails. To get details about the failure, ggated should be called with the -v option.
