Scripts
There are a number of useful scripts included with the distribution. Some of these scripts are only useful during build and development, but other scripts are intended for end users to be able to use. These scripts may be installed with n2n as part of your operating system package.
Short descriptions of these scripts are below.
scripts/hack_fakeautoconf
This shell script is used during development to help build on Windows systems. An example of how to use it is shown in the Building document
tools/test_harness
This shell script is used to run automated tests during development.
scripts/n2nctl
This python script provides an easy command line interface to the running edge. It uses UDP communications to talk to the Management API.
Example:
scripts/n2nctl --helpscripts/n2nctl help
scripts/n2nhttpd
This python script is a simple http gateway to the running edge. It provides a proxy for REST-like HTTP requests to talk to the Management API.
By default it runs on port 8080.
It also provides a simple HTML page showing some information, which when run with default settings can be seen at http://localhost:8080/
Example:
