.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBmosquitto_bridge\fR
is a simple MQTT client that will create or delete a bridge dynamically for Mosquitto broker 1\&.4\&.90 or newer without shutdown or SIGHUP signal\&.
.PP
\fBmosquitto_bridge\fR
also allows to know active bridges on a broker
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
The options below may be given on the command line\&.
.PP
\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-address\fR
.RS 4
Define bridge address of bridge\&. Necessary only with
\fB\-n\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-connection\fR
.RS 4
Define the connection name of the bridge\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-del\fR
.RS 4
Delete a bridge which name is define by
\fB\-c\fR\&. Can\*(Aqt be use with
\fB\-n\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-directoin\fR
.RS 4
Define direction of the bridge [ in | out | both ]\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-host\fR
.RS 4
Define the network host to connect to the local broker where the bridge will be create/delete or to know active bridges\&. Defaults to localhost\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-know\fR
.RS 4
Know all bridges which are active in a broker\&. Can only be used with options other than
\fB\-h\fR
and
\fB\-p\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-local\fR
.RS 4
Define the local prefix for the bridge configuration\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-new\fR
.RS 4
Define to create a bridge\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-port\fR
.RS 4
Define the network port to connect to the local broker where the bridge will be create/delete or to know active bridges\&. Defaults to 1883\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-pw\fR
.RS 4
Provide a password to be used for authenticating with the broker\&. Using this argument without also specifying a username is invalid\&. This requires a broker that supports MQTT v3\&.1\&. See also the
\fB\-\-username\fR
option\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-qos\fR
.RS 4
Specify the quality of service desired for the bridge between local broker and remote broker, from 0, 1 and 2\&. Defaults to 0\&. See
\fBmqtt\fR(7)
for more information on QoS\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-remote\fR
.RS 4
Define the remote prefix for the bridge configuration\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-remotePort\fR
.RS 4
Define the network port to connect to the remote broker\&. No default value\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-username\fR
.RS 4
Provide a username to be used for authenticating with the broker\&. This requires a broker that supports MQTT v3\&.1\&. See also the

.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Note that these really are examples\&.
.PP
Three possiblites are available :
.PP
\- Create a new bridge from a local broker to a remote broker whith
\-n
and all necessary parameters of a bridge (connection, address, topic)\&.
.PP
\- Delete a bridge present on a local bridge with
\-d
and bridge connection name\&.
.PP
\- Know all bridges which are active on a local broker with
\-k\&.
.PP
Creat a bridge on localhost and default port with another broker on localhost and 1884 port:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
