DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       mmeettiiss__ccoonnttrrooll  is the program used to  configure  a  running  forwarder
       mmeettiiss__ddaaeemmoonn.   It  will connect to the forwarder over a local listener
       (e.g. TCP to localhost or a unix  domain  socket).   If  a  _c_o_m_m_a_n_d_l_i_n_e
       option  is  specified,  mmeettiiss__ccoonnttrrooll     will send that one command to
       Metis and then exit.  If no _c_o_m_m_a_n_d_l_i_n_e    is specified,  mmeettiiss__ccoommmmaanndd
       will enter interacitve mode where the user can issue multiple commands.


       mmeettiiss__ccoonnttrrooll  requires  a  signing keystore for communicating over the
       network.  The _k_e_y_s_t_o_r_e file is a standard PKCS12 keystore, and  may  be
       created   using   ppaarrcc__ppuubblliicckkeeyy((11)).   If  no  _k_e_y_s_t_o_r_e  is  specified,
       mmeettiiss__ccoonnttrrooll     will look in  the  standard  path  ~/.ccnx/.ccnx_key-
       store.p12.   The  keystore  password  is specified in _p_a_s_s_w_o_r_d.  If not
       specified, no password is used.  If the keystore  does  not  open,  the
       user will be prompted for a password.


       See mmeettiiss..ccffgg((55)) for a specification of the available _c_o_m_m_a_n_d_l_i_n_e.


       The  environment  variable  METIS_PORT  may be used to specify what TCP
       port to use to connect to the local Metis.   The  environment  variable
       METIS_LOCALPATH  may be used to specific the UNIX domain socket to con-
       nect to the local Metis and takes priority over METIS_PORT.


OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       --keystore _k_e_y_s_t_o_r_e
                 mmeettiiss__ccoonnttrrooll requires a signing keystore  for  communicating
                 over  the  network.   The  _k_e_y_s_t_o_r_e file is a standard PKCS12
                 keystore, and may be created using ppaarrcc__ppuubblliicckkeeyy((11)).  If  no
                 _k_e_y_s_t_o_r_e  is  specified,  mmeettiiss__ccoonnttrrooll                  will
                 look in the standard path ~/.ccnx/.ccnx_keystore.p12.


       --password _p_a_s_s_w_o_r_d
                 The keystore password is specified in _p_a_s_s_w_o_r_d.  If not spec-
                 ified,  no  password is used.  If the keystore does not open,
                 the user will be prompted for a password.


       commandline
                 The remainder of the arguments are the commandline to send to
                 Metis.  See USAGE.
