NAME
       mheardd - collect information about packet activity

SYNOPSIS
       mheardd [-f] [-l] [-n number] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
       Mheardd is a daemon that collects the statistics about the
       activity on all the AX.25 channels  that  are  configured.
       The  list  generated  is  available  for  viewing  by  the
       mheard(1) program. The information collected is a superset
       of  the  information  normally collected by similar mheard
       programs and this is reflected in  the  options  available
       for  the  viewing  program. Logging to the system log file
       may be enabled which will enable monitoring of  pathalogi-
       cal  conditions,  for  example  invalid  frame  types  and
       invalid/unknown protocol IDs.

OPTIONS
       -f        Deletes the existing mheard logging file at pro-
                 gram startup, this is not the default.

       -l        Enables  logging  to  the  system  log file. The
                 default is off.

       -n number Sets the number of entries in the activity  list
                 file,  the  default  is  40.  The  minimum value
                 allowed is 10 and the maximum is 100.

       -v        Display the version.
