mrinfo
uses the ASK_NEIGHBORS IGMP message to the specified multicast router. If this
multicast router responds, the version number and a list of their neighboring
multicast router addresses is part of that response. If the responding router
has a recent multicast version number, then
mrinfo
requests additional information such as metrics, thresholds, and flags from the
multicast router. Once the specified multicast router responds, the
configuration is displayed to the standard output.
"-d" option sets the debug level. When the debug level is greater than the default value of 0, addition debugging messages are printed. Regardless of the debug level, an error condition, will always write an error message and will cause mrinfo to terminate. Non-zero debug levels have the following effects:
"-r retry_count" sets the neighbor query retry limit. Default is 3 retry.
"-t timeout_count" sets the number of seconds to wait for a neighbor query reply. Default timeout is 4 seconds.

For each neighbor of the queried multicast router, the IP of the queried router is displayed, followed by the IP and name of the neighbor. In square brackets the metric (cost of connection), the threshold (multicast ttl) is displayed. If the queried multicast router has a newer version number, the type (tunnel, srcrt) and status (disabled, down) of the connection is displayed.
