Regulating Display Output

The snoop command provides various filters and options through which you control the focus of the snoop trace and the length of its output. Additionally, you can use snoop slp with any other snoop expression.

When using the snoop utility, you can select either brief or verbose mode for the output. In verbose mode, snoop delivers ongoing, unabbreviated output to your monitor, which provides the following types of information:

• The complete address for the service URL

• All service attributes

• The registration lifetime

• All security parameters and flags, if any

Type the following command to invoke snoop with the slp filter in verbose mode:

# snoop slp -v

The default setting for snoop is brief mode, which delivers ongoing output to your monitor that is truncated to fit one line per SLP message.
