Set syslog facility to LOG_LOCAL[0-7], user or daemon (default)
-g, --log-file=FILE Also log to FILE (default /tmp/keepalived.log)
--flush-log-file Flush log file on write
-G, --no-syslog Don't log via syslog

-d, --dump-conf Dump the configuration data
-p, --pid=FILE Use specified pidfile for parent process
-r, --vrrp_pid=FILE Use specified pidfile for VRRP child process
-T, --genhash Enter into genhash utility mode (this should be the first option used).
-c, --checkers_pid=FILE Use specified pidfile for checkers child process
-a, --address-monitoring Report all address additions/deletions notified via netlink
-b, --bfd_pid=FILE Use specified pidfile for BFD child process

-M, --core-dump-pattern=PATN Also set /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to PATN (default 'core')
-e, --all-config Error if any configuration file missing (same as includet)
-i, --config-id id Skip any configuration lines beginning '@' that don't match id
or any lines beginning @^ that do match.
The config-id defaults to the node name if option not used
