# gnunet-cadet(1)

create or obtain information about CADET tunnels and peers

## NAME

**gnunet-cadet** – create or obtain information about CADET tunnels and peers

## SYNOPSIS

**gnunet-cadet** \[**-C** *CONNECTION\_ID* \| **--connection=***CONNECTION\_ID*\] \[**-d** \| **--dump**\] \[**-e** \| **--echo**\] \[**-o** *SHARED\_SECRET* \| **--open-port=***SHARED\_SECRET*\] \[**-p** *PEER\_ID* \| **--peer=***PEER\_ID*\] \[**-P** \| **--peers**\] \[**-T** \| **--tunnels**\] \[**-c** *FILENAME* \| **--config=***FILENAME*\] \[**-h** \| **--help**\] \[**-l** *FILENAME* \| **--logfile=***FILENAME*\] \[**-L** *LOGLEVEL* \| **--loglevel=***LOGLEVEL*\] \[**-v** \| **--version**\] ⟨*PEER\_ID*⟩ ⟨*SHARED\_SECRET*⟩

## DESCRIPTION

**gnunet-cadet** prints information about CADET tunnels and peers. It can also be used for command-line based CADET tunnels using the **-o** *SHARED\_SECRET* option to open a port on a receiving *PEER\_ID* and using **gnunet-cadet** ⟨*PEER\_ID*⟩ ⟨*SHARED\_SECRET*⟩ to establish one circuit to that peer from any other peer. The receiving process will only accept one incoming circuit, but several commands using the same **-o** can be issued to satisfy multiple requests. For one-to-many communication gnunet-social(1) may be better suited, however.

- **-C** *CONNECTION\_ID* \| **--connection=***CONNECTION\_ID*

  Provide information about the connection *CONNECTION\_ID*.

- **-d** \| **--dump**

  Dump debug information to stderr.

- **-e** \| **--echo**

  Activate echo mode.

- **-o** *SHARED\_SECRET* \| **--open-port=***SHARED\_SECRET*

  Listen for connections using a shared secret, provided as *SHARED\_SECRET*, among sender and recipient.

- **-p** *PEER\_ID* \| **--peer=***PEER\_ID*

  Provide information about the peer *PEER\_ID*.

- **-P** \| **--peers**

  Provide information about all (known) peers.

- **-T** \| **--tunnels**

  Provide information about all tunnels.

- **-c** *FILENAME* \| **--config=***FILENAME*

  Use the configuration file *FILENAME*.

- **-h** \| **--help**

  Print the help page.

- **-l** *FILENAME* \| **--logfile=***FILENAME*

  Configure logging to write logs to *FILENAME*.

- **-L** *LOGLEVEL* \| **--loglevel=***LOGLEVEL*

  Use LOGLEVEL for logging. Valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR.

- **-v** \| **--version**

  Print the GNUnet version number.

The full documentation for gnunet is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the [info(1)](/info/1.md) and gnunet programs are properly installed at your site, the command

```
info gnunet
```

should give you access to the complete handbook,

```
info gnunet-c-tutorial
```

will give you access to a tutorial for developers.

Depending on your installation, this information is also available in gnunet(7) and gnunet-c-tutorial(7).
