# asip-status(1)

Queries an AFP server for its capabilities

## Name

asip-status — Queries an AFP server for its capabilities

## Synopsis

**asip-status** \[-4 \| -6\] \[-d\] \[-i\] \[-x\] \[*HOSTNAME*\] \[*PORT*\]

**asip-status** \[-4 \| -6\] \[-d\] \[-i\] \[-x\] \[*HOSTNAME*:*PORT*\]

**asip-status** \[-v \| -version \| –version\]

## Description

**asip-status** sends an FPGetSrvrInfo request to an AFP server at *HOSTNAME*:*PORT* and displays the results: “Machine type”, the server’s name, supported AFP versions, UAMs and AFP flags, the “server signature” and the network addresses that the server provides AFP services on.

When you don’t supply *PORT*, then the default AFP port, 548, will be used.

Starting with Netatalk 3.1.9, **asip-status** supports both IPv4 and IPv6. By default, your system automatically decides which protocol version to use. You can use **-4** or **-6** option to force IPv4 or IPv6, respectively.

## Options

- **-4**

  Use IPv4 only.

- **-6**

  Use IPv6 only.

- **-d**

  Enable debug output.

- **-i**

  Show icon if it exists.

- **-x**

  Enable hex dump output.

**-v**, **-version**, **–version**

Show version.
