| 12 | DESCRIPTION |
| 13 | ----------- |
| 14 | In NFD, a face is the generalization of network interface. |
| 15 | It could be a physical network interface to communicate on a physical link, |
| 16 | an overlay communication channel between NFD and a remote node, |
| 17 | or an inter-process communication channel between NFD and a local application. |
| 18 | |
| Junxiao Shi | 0d97692 | 2017-04-01 14:35:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | The **nfdc face list** command shows a list of faces, their properties, and statistics, |
| 20 | optionally filtered by remote endpoint, local endpoint, and FaceUri scheme. |
| 21 | When multiple filters are specified, returned faces must satisfy all filters. |

| Junxiao Shi | 1f481fa | 2017-01-26 15:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 23 | The **nfdc face show** command shows properties and statistics of one specific face. |
| 24 | |
| Junxiao Shi | 0d97692 | 2017-04-01 14:35:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | The **nfdc face create** command creates a UDP unicast, TCP, or Ethernet unicast face. |
| 26 | Local FaceUri is required for creating Ethernet unicast faces; otherwise it must be omitted. |
| Eric Newberry | 84d3adc | 2017-08-09 23:31:40 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | The NDNLPv2 unicast reliability feature may be explicitly enabled by specifying **reliability on** |
| 28 | or explicitly disabled by specifying **reliability off**. |
| 29 | If enabled, this feature must also be enabled on the other endpoint to function properly. |

| Junxiao Shi | 05dd444 | 2017-02-06 22:50:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | The **nfdc face destroy** command destroys an existing face. |

| Junxiao Shi | 1d7fef5 | 2017-02-02 05:33:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | The **nfdc channel list** command shows a list of channels. |
| 34 | Channels are listening sockets that can accept incoming connections and create new faces. |

| 37 | ------- |
| Junxiao Shi | f0dfb33 | 2017-02-02 05:32:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 38 | <FACEID> |
| Junxiao Shi | 1f481fa | 2017-01-26 15:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 39 | Numerical identifier of the face. |
| Junxiao Shi | 1d7fef5 | 2017-02-02 05:33:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 40 | It is displayed in the output of **nfdc face list** and **nfdc face create** commands. |
| Junxiao Shi | 1f481fa | 2017-01-26 15:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | |
| Junxiao Shi | f0dfb33 | 2017-02-02 05:32:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 42 | <FACEURI> |
| Junxiao Shi | 0d97692 | 2017-04-01 14:35:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | A URI representing the remote or local endpoint of a face. |
| 44 | Examples: |

| 57 | When a hostname is specified, a DNS query is used to obtain the IP address. |
| 58 | |
| Junxiao Shi | 0d97692 | 2017-04-01 14:35:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 59 | <SCHEME> |
| 60 | The scheme portion of either remote or local endpoint. |
| 61 | Examples: |
| 62 | |
| 63 | - udp4 |
| 64 | - unix |
| 65 | - dev |
| 66 | |
| Junxiao Shi | 1d7fef5 | 2017-02-02 05:33:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 67 | <PERSISTENCY> |
| 68 | Either "persistent" or "permanent". |
| 69 | A "persistent" face (the default) is closed when a socket error occurs. |
| 70 | A "permanent" face survives socket errors, and is closed only with a **nfdc destroy** command. |
