#### Zenoh router - Zero Overhead Pub/Sub/Query Protocol

Eclipse Zenoh: Zero Overhead Pub/Sub, Store/Query and Compute.

zenohd is a daemon router that builds Zenoh infrastructure. It is the Zenoh
runtime with a plugin manager, connecting peers and clients via pub/sub,
queries, and computations.

The router daemon is installed disabled. Enable and start it with:

sudo snap start --enable zenohd.daemon

To stop and disable it again:

sudo snap stop --disable zenohd.daemon

To run an ad-hoc router instance without the daemon:

zenohd [OPTIONS]

Key options:
-c, --config <PATH> Configuration file (JSON5 or YAML)
-l, --listen <ENDPOINT> Locator to listen on (repeatable)
-e, --connect <ENDPOINT> Peer locator to connect to (repeatable)
-P, --plugin <PLUGIN> Plugin to load (repeatable)
--plugin-search-dir <PATH> Directory to search for plugin libraries

Configuration
Place a config file at one of the following paths to auto-load it on
startup (probed in order):
~/snap/zenohd/common/config.{json5,yaml,yml} (plain app; takes precedence)
/var/snap/zenohd/common/config.{json5,yaml,yml} (daemon and plain app)
A reference configuration is at $SNAP/etc/zenohd/DEFAULT\_CONFIG.json5.

Plugins
zenohd supports runtime-loadable plugins (.so shared libraries). The
following plugins are bundled and can be enabled via the config file:
- rest: exposes zenoh over HTTP/REST
- storage\_manager: in-memory and backend-based key-value storage
Additional plugins can be placed in /var/snap/zenohd/common/plugins/.
