Hi!
Where might I find some information about the bird client?
Scanning the client source code didn't really help and:
configure: error: The client requires GNU readline library 2.1 or newer. Either install the library or use --disable-client to compile without the client.
makes it difficult to read the on-line docs.
You do not need client to read on-line docs. Just more doc/bird.sgml or lynx doc/bird.html. Pavel -- The best software in life is free (not shareware)! Pavel GCM d? s-: !g p?:+ au- a--@ w+ v- C++@ UL+++ L++ N++ E++ W--- M- Y- R+

Hello!

The bird client is fully documented in the user's guide (doc/bird.html).
Scanning the client source code didn't really help and:
configure: error: The client requires GNU readline library 2.1 or newer. Either install the library or use --disable-client to compile without the client.

The only piece of documentation client prints and nobody else does is the context-sensitive help on CLI commands. If you want to use the client, just install the required version of the readline library. If you don't want, you don't need the online help, everything else is in the user's guide.

I suspect that I need to be more blunt. Certainly I can start down the trail of potentially cascading upgrades to bring this particular OS upto readline lib 2.1 compatibility. I wanted to know WHY I should do that. My point all along has been that you have zero documentation on the client and what it brings, other than a statement that the client allows extensive communication with the daemon. Simply add something like: /usr/sbin }birdc BIRD 1.0.0 ready. bird> ? configure ["<file>"] Reload configuration debug ... Control protocol debugging disable <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Disable protocol down Shut the daemon down dump ... Dump debugging information echo [all | off | <mask>] [<buffer-size>] Configure echoing of log messages enable <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Enable protocol exit Exit the client help Description of the help system quit Quit the client restart <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Restart protocol show ... Show status information in text/html. Including some additional detail would be nice.

See chapter 4, "Remote control". o Command-line interface (using the `birdc' client; to get some help, just press `?') Great. I'd suggest changing the above comment in README to avoid repeating this loop.
