Synopsis
configd [-b] [-Bbundle_ID
] [-d] [-tpathname
] [-v] [-Vbundle_ID
]
This is the System Configuration Server.
configd
is normally started as a daemon during the
boot process. It monitors changes to network-related items, such as
link status, DHCP assignments, PPP connections, and IP configuration,
and provides an API for applications to be notified of these changes.
To monitor various items, it uses a set of plug-in configuration
agents, including the Preferences Monitor, the Kernel Event Monitor,
the PPP Controller Agent, the IP Configuration Agent, and the IP
Monitor Agent. The agent plug-ins are located in
/System/Library/SystemConfiguration
.
