.TH LIBVDEPLUG_P2P 1 "August 23, 2016" "Virtual Distributed Ethernet"
.SH NAME
libvdeplug_ptp - vdeplug module for point to point connections
.SH SYNOPSIS
libvdeplug_ptp.so
.SH DESCRIPTION
This module interconnects two vde supporting tools by a point to point
communication line.
This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like
\fBvde_plug\fR, \fBkvm\fR, \fBqemu\fR, \fBuser-mode-linux\fR and \fBvirtualbox\fR.

The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
.RS
.br
\fBptp://\fIpath_of_the_socket\fR
.RE

.SH EXAMPLES
.B ptp:///tmp/sock
.br
The same vde_plug_url can be used at both ends of the connection.
The first program creates the socket \fB/tmp/sock\fR. The second program connects to
\fB/tmp/sock\fR, when it discovers that the socket already exists.
