NAME
       tipc - a TIPC configuration and management tool

SYNOPSIS
       tipc [ OPTIONS ] COMMAND ARGUMENTS

       COMMAND := { bearer | link | media | nametable | node | socket }

       OPTIONS := { -h[help] }

DESCRIPTION
       The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers total address transparency between processes which
       allows applications in a clustered computer environment to communicate quickly and reliably with each other, regard‐
       less of their location within the cluster.

       TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The first open source version of TIPC was created in
       2000 when Ericsson released its first Linux version of TIPC. TIPC was introduced in the mainline Linux kernel in 2006
       and is now widely used both within and outside of Ericsson.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Show  help about last given command. For example tipc bearer --help will show bearer help and tipc --help will
	      show general help. The position of the option in the string is irrelevant.

       -j, -json
	      Output results in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).

       -p, -pretty
	      The default JSON format is compact and more efficient to parse but hard for most users  to  read.	  This	flag
	      adds indentation for readability.

ARGUMENTS
       Command	arguments  are described in a command specific man page and typically consists of nested commands along with
       key value pairs.	 If no arguments are given a command typically shows its help text. The explicit help option  -h  or
       --help can occur anywhere among the arguments and will show help for the last valid command given.
