birdc: Show all details about a protocol.
$ birdc show protocols ${upstream1} all
try on your machine

This command is using the birdc (Bird Control) tool to display information about the router protocols.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • birdc: It is the command-line tool used to interact with the BIRD routing daemon.
  • show protocols: This is the command to display information about the router protocols.
  • ${upstream1}: It is a placeholder or variable indicating the name of the first upstream router or protocol.
  • all: It is an additional argument specifying that all information about the specified protocol should be shown.

In summary, the command is asking the birdc tool to show detailed information about the specific protocol (identified as ${upstream1}).
