+.SH NAME
+mrinfo \- Displays configuration info from a multicast router

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I mrinfo
+attempts to display the configuration information from the multicast router
+.I multicast_router.
+.PP
+.I mrinfo
+uses the ASK_NEIGHBORS IGMP message to the specified multicast router. If this
+multicast router responds, the version number and a list of their neighboring
+multicast router addresses is part of that response. If the responding router
+has a recent multicast version number, then
+.I mrinfo
+requests additional information such as metrics, thresholds, and flags from the
+multicast router. Once the specified multicast router responds, the
+configuration is displayed to the standard output.

+.SH INVOCATION
+.PP
+"\-d" option sets the debug level. When the debug level is greater than the
+default value of 0, addition debugging messages are printed. Regardless of
+the debug level, an error condition, will always write an error message and will
+cause
+.I mrinfo
+to terminate.
+Non-zero debug levels have the following effects:
+.IP "level 1"
+packet warnings are printed to stderr.
+.IP "level 2"
+all level 1 messages plus notifications down networks are printed to stderr.
+.IP "level 3"
+all level 2 messages plus notifications of all packet
+timeouts are printed to stderr.
+.PP
+"\-r retry_count" sets the neighbor query retry limit. Default is 3 retry.
+.PP
+"\-t timeout_count" sets the number of seconds to wait for a neighbor query
+reply. Default timeout is 4 seconds.
+.PP

+.PP
+For each neighbor of the queried multicast router, the IP of the queried router
+is displayed, followed by the IP and name of the neighbor. In square brackets
+the metric (cost of connection), the treashold (multicast ttl) is displayed. If
+the queried multicast router has a newer version number, the type (tunnel,
+srcrt) and status (disabled, down) of the connection is displayed.
+.PP
+.SH IMPORTANT NOTE
+.I mrinfo
+must be run as root.
