NAME
     npspook - Tricklet OS/2 named-pipe daemon

SYNOPSIS
     npspook <host> [ <community>  <medium>  <timeout>  <retries>
     <port> ]

DESCRIPTION
     _n_p_s_p_o_o_k is a named-pipe program that is meant to be  started
     once  and  never  to  be  stopped.  During its life, it will
     accept opens to it's pipe '\pipe\spook\161' and will  handle
     Tricklet  commands  received  through  its pipes. _n_p_s_p_o_o_k is
     capable to handle multiple active pipes.
     At the moment,  only  a  perl  interface  is  available  for
     npspook.  This  interface  consists  of  two  perl libraries
     (spook.pl and collector.pl).  These libraries can be used by
     a  standard  perl executable, no patches are needed. See the
     perl libraries for examples and the perl API.
     The commands accepted by npspook are described in the manual
     page  of  stdspook.  _n_p_s_p_o_o_k and _s_t_d_s_p_o_o_k are twin brothers,
     the first gets its commands through a named pipe, the latter
     through a stdin/stdout interface.
