8 9 Anonymous
9 26 Junxiao Shi
Control commands are [[ndn-cxx:CommandInterest|Command Interests]] under a NFD management prefix.
10 1 Junxiao Shi
11 22 Junxiao Shi
The Name for a request Interest has the following form:
12 1 Junxiao Shi
13 26 Junxiao Shi
    /<prefix>/<management-module>/<command-verb>/<control-parameters>/<command-interest-components>
14 1 Junxiao Shi
15 23 Junxiao Shi
* *prefix* is a NFD management prefix.
16
  Unless otherwise noted, all commands use `/localhost/nfd` prefix.
17
  Each individual command MAY specify additional prefixes under which that command could be accepted.
18 22 Junxiao Shi
* *management-module* is the name of management module to which the command needs to be dispatched.
19
* *command-verb* is the command to be executed.
20
* *control-parameters* is a ControlParameters TLV block wrapped in a NameComponent.
21 26 Junxiao Shi
* *command-interest-components* are four additional components defined by [[ndn-cxx:CommandInterest|Command Interest]] spec.
