.SH NAME
ivyd - daemon to relay messages to an Ivy bus.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "ivyd [-d] [-b [network[,network]][:port]]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ivyd
is an Ivy agent which binds to a port and awaits requests from
clients.  Upon receiving a request, it reemits its contents as a message
on the Ivy bus. The port is chosen dynamically, and registered by sending an UDP 
message to the
.B in.ivyd
daemon.

.B ivyd
is especially useful for short-lived applications that wish to send
messages on an Ivy bus but cannot stay connected to a bus long enough.
