NAME

start - start a function listed in the NAT32 Function Table

start func [args]+

Start retrieves the address of the specified function func from the NAT32 Function Table and then executes that function (with the specified arguments) in a separate thread. If successful, the ID of the newly created thread will be printed. The new thread will have the same name as the function.

Once the thread has been started, the start command returns, and the new thread continues executing concurrently until either the thread func is killed, or function func returns.

If no arguments are specified, start prints a list of available functions.

Start is usually used to restart networking daemons after they have been terminated for some reason.
