babeld: Start babeld with a specific configuration file.

babeld

$ babeld -c ${path-to-babeld-conf}

try on your machine

The command "babeld -c ${path-to-babeld-conf}" is used to run the Babel routing daemon with a specified configuration file.

Here's a breakdown of the different components of the command:

"babeld": This is the command to run the Babel routing daemon. Babel is a routing protocol used in computer networks.
"-c": This option specifies that the following argument is the path to the configuration file.
"${path-to-babeld-conf}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the babeld configuration file. You need to replace "${path-to-babeld-conf}" with the specific path on your system. The configuration file contains various settings and parameters for the babeld daemon, such as network interfaces, routing metrics, and neighbor information.

So, when you execute the command with a valid path to the babeld configuration file, the babeld daemon will read and apply the settings from the file to start routing according to the specified rules and configuration.
