-Usage
------
-
-::
-
-    nfdc [-h] COMMAND [<command options>]
-
-
-Description
------------
-
-``nfdc`` is a tool to manipulate routing information base (RIB), forwarding information
-base (FIB), and StrategyChoices table (i.e., which strategy should be used by which
-namespaces).
-
-Options
--------
-
-``-h``
-  Print usage information.
-
-``COMMAND``
-
-  ``register``
-    Register a new or update existing routing entry in Routing Information Base (RIB).
-
-    ``register [-I] [-C] [-c <cost>] [-e expiration time] [-o origin] <prefix> <faceId | faceUri>``
-
-      ``-I``
-        Unset CHILD_INHERIT flag from the routing entry.
-
-      ``-C``
-        Set CAPTURE flag in the routing entry.
-
-      ``-c <cost>``
-        Cost for the RIB entry (default is 0).
-
-      ``-e <expiration time>``
-        Expiration time of the RIB entry in milliseconds. If not specified, the entry remains in FIB
-        for the lifetime of the associated face.
-
-      ``-o <origin>``
-        Origin of the registration request (default is 255).
-        0 for Local producer applications, 128 for NLSR, 255 for static routes.
-
-      ``prefix``
-        A prefix of an existing or to be created RIB entry, for which routing entry is
-        requested to be added or updated.
-
-      ``faceId``
-        An existing NFD Face ID number, which can be obtained, for example, using
-        ``nfd-status`` command.
-
-      ``faceUri``
-        URI of the existing or to be created Face.
-
-  ``unregister``
-    Unregister an existing routing entry from Routing Information Base (RIB).
-
-    ``unregister [-o origin] <prefix> <faceId>``
-
-      ``-o <origin>``
-        Origin of the unregistration request (default is 255).
-
-      ``prefix``
-        A prefix of an existing RIB entry, from which routing entry is requested to be
-        removed.
-
-      ``faceId``
-        An existing NFD Face ID number, which can be obtained, for example, using
-        ``nfd-status`` command.
-
-  ``create``
-    Create a UDP unicast or TCP Face
-
-    ``create [-P] <faceUri>``
-
-      ``-P``
-        create permanent (instead of persistent) face:
-
-        .. note::
-          Persistent (default) faces remain open until they are explicitly destroyed or
-          there is a transport failure.  Permanent faces remain open until they are
-          explicitly destroyed; any transport failures will be recovered internally.
-
-      ``faceUri``
-        UDP unicast or TCP Face URI::
-
-            UDP unicast:    udp[4|6]://<remote-IP-or-host>[:<remote-port>]
-            TCP:            tcp[4|6]://<remote-IP-or-host>[:<remote-port>]
-
-  ``destroy``
-    Create an existing UDP unicast or TCP Face.
-
-    ``destroy <faceId | faceUri>``
-
-      ``faceId``
-        An existing NFD Face ID number, which can be obtained, for example, using
-        ``nfd-status`` command.
-
-      ``faceUri``
-        UDP unicast or TCP Face URI::
-
-            UDP unicast:    udp[4|6]://<remote-IP-or-host>[:<remote-port>]
-            TCP:            tcp[4|6]://<remote-IP-or-host>[:<remote-port>]
-
-  ``set-strategy``
-    Select strategy to be used for the specified namespace
-
-    ``set-strategy <namespace> <strategy-name>``
-
-      ``namespace``
-        Namespace that will use the specified strategy.
-
-        Note that more specific namespace(s) can use different strategy or strategies.
-        For example, if namespace ``/A/B/C`` was using strategy
-        ``ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/best-route`` before running ``set-strategy`` on
-        ``/A`` namespace, it will continue using the same strategy no matter which
-        namespace was specified for ``/A``.
-
-      ``strategy-name``
-        Name of one of the available strategies.
-
-        Currently, NFD supports the following strategies::
-
-            ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/best-route
-            ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast
-            ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/client-control
-            ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/ncc
-            ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/access
-
-  ``unset-strategy``
-    Unset the strategy for a given ``namespace``.
-
-    Effectively, this command select parent's namespace strategy to be used for the
-    specified ``namespace``.
-
-    ``unset-strategy <namespace>``
-
-      ``namespace``
-        Namespace from which namespace customization should be removed.
-
-  ``add-nexthop``
-    Directly add nexthop entry info NFD's Forwarding Information Base (FIB).  This command
-    is intended only for debugging purposes.  Normally, prefix-nexhop association should
-    be registered in Routing Information Base using ``register`` command.
-
-    ``add-nexthop [-c <cost>] <prefix> <faceId | faceUri>``
-
-      ``-c <cost>``
-        Cost for the nexthop entry to be inserted (default is 0).
-
-      ``prefix``
-        A prefix of an existing or to be created FIB entry, to which nexthop
-        entry is requested to be added.
-
-      ``faceId``
-        An existing NFD Face ID number, which can be obtained, for example, using
-        ``nfd-status`` command
-
-      ``faceUri``
-        URI of the existing or to be created Face.
-
-  ``remove-nexthop``
-    Directly remove nexthop entry from NFD'S FIB.  This command
-    is intended only for debugging purposes.  Normally, prefix-nexhop association should
-    be unregistered from Routing Information Base using ``unregister`` command.
-
-    ``remove-nexthop <prefix> <faceId>``
-
-      ``prefix``
-        A prefix of an existing FIB entry, from which nexthop entry is requested to be removed.
-
-      ``faceId``
-        An existing NFD Face ID number, which can be obtained, for example, using
-        ``nfd-status`` command.
-
-        Note that when ``faceId`` is the last Face associated with ``prefix`` FIB entry,
-        the whole FIB entry will be removed.
