+Options available for the
+.B vtysh
+command:
+.IP "\fB\-b, \-\-boot\fP"
+Execute boot startup configuration. It makes sense only if integrated config
+file is in use (not default in Quagga). See Info file \fBQuagga\fR for more
+info.
+.IP "\fB\-c, \-\-command \fIcommand\fP"
+Specify command to be executed under batch mode. It behaves like -c option in
+any other shell -
+.I command
+is executed and vtysh exits.
+
+It's useful for gathering info from Quagga routing software from shell scripts
+etc.
+.IP "\fB\-e, \-\-execute \fIcommand\fP"
+Alias for -c. It's only for compatibility with Zebra routing software and older
+Quagga versions and this might be removed in future.
+.IP "\fB\-h, \-\-help\fP"
+Display a usage message on standard output and exit.
