Synopsis
configd [-b] [-Bbundle_ID] [-d] [-tpathname] [-v] [-Vbundle_ID]
The System Configuration Server 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/. More
information on the System Configuration framework can be found at
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Networking/SysConfigOverview926/.
It’s started as a bootstrap daemon, from
/etc/mach_init.d/configd.plist (processed by
register_mach_bootstrap_servers). When running
in daemon mode, configd stores its PID in
/var/run/configd.pid.
