README

        
plotnetcfg is a tool that scans networking configuration on the machine and

plots a diagram of the configuration hierarchy.

Design goals are:

1. Lighweight. It should have no run time dependencies. Just scp the

   binary to the target machine.

2. Works across net namespaces.

3. Allows multiple frontends (graphviz and json frontends are currently

   supported).

Example usage:

ssh target_machine plotnetcfg | dot -Tpdf > output.pdf

Building:

Jansson library is required, version 2.3 or newer:

http://www.digip.org/jansson/

To statically link against Jansson, build the Jansson library and invoke in

the plotnetcfg source directory:

make jansson=/path/to/jansson

To dynamically link against Jansson, ensure Jansson is properly installed in

the system (e.g. using the devel package provided by your distribution) and

invoke:

make

The following flags can be overridden during the build:

- CC

  Choose a different compiler (such as clang or an arm cross compiler)

- CFLAGS

  Additional compilation flags to pass to the compiler
