+
+genddx - Generates SNMP discovery instructions file for
+B<devdiscover>
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<torrus genddx> --host=I<HOSTNAME> | --hostfile=I<HOSTFILENAME> \
+[I<options...>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<genddx> generates the SNMP discovery instructions file, which may
+be later used as input for the B<devdiscover> utility to produce the
+corresponding Torrus XML configuration file. The hostname(s) of router(s) to
+be included in SNMP discovery must be specified either using the
+B<--host> (for a single router) or B<--hostfile> option. In the latter
+case the file I<HOSTFILENAME> must contain a space-separated list of router
+hostnames. Hostnames may have the form C<host:devname> where C<devname> is
+a symbolic device name.
+
+This utility is designed to be used only once, in order to generate
+the discovery XML canvas, for futher manual editing. It generates only
+basic set of parameters, and there are much more of those that you may
+use to customize the discovery process.
+
+See L<torrus_ttproclist(@mansec_usercmd@)> for a more flexible and
+complex DDX generator.
+
+More information is available in B<Torrus SNMP Discovery User Guide>.
