pim6stat shows status or statistics of the
  PIM for IPv6 daemon currently running. When invoked, it sends a signal to let
  the daemon dump its internal status to a file, waits for dumping, and outputs
  the content of the file to standard output.
Options supported by 
pim6stat:
  -d 
  - specifies to show the status of a dense mode daemon (if running). By
      default, 
pim6stat assumes sparse
    mode. 
  -f 
  - specifies the dumpfile to which the PIM daemon dumps its status.
 
  -p 
  - specifies the PID file of the currently running daemon.
 
  -s 
  - specifies to dump statistics instead of status (for sparse mode
    only).
 
  -w 
  - specifies the wait period in seconds between sending a signal to the
      daemon and dumping the status or statistics to the dumpfile.
 
  - /var/run/pim6sd.pid
 
  - The default PID file for a sparse mode daemon.
 
  - /var/run/pim6dd.pid
 
  - The default PID file for a dense mode daemon.
 
  - /var/run/pim6sd.dump
 
  - The default dump file for a sparse mode daemon.
 
  - /var/run/pim6dd.dump
 
  - The default dump file for a dense mode daemon.
 
  - /var/run/pim6sd.stat
 
  - The default statistics dump file for a sparse mode daemon.
