# afpgetstatus(1)

Get simple status information from an AFP server without logging into it.

## NAME

afpgetstatus - Get simple status information from an AFP server without logging into it.

## SYNOPSIS

*afpgetstatus \[afp\_url\|ipaddress\[:port\]\]*

## DESCRIPTION

*afpcmd* is a command-line tool that parses and prints the status information of an AFP server.  It does this without having to login to a server.

It is a response to the DSI GetStatus request (which is the same as the AFP FPGetSrvrInfo).

It only handles IPv4 addresses.

## OPTIONS

**afp\_url** an AFP url in the form of *afp://servername:port/*.  Any other AFP url fields (username, volume name, etc) are ignored.

**ipaddress** the IP address of the server

**port** the TCP port to connect to (optional)

## REPORTING BUGS
