Overview
cap_iab_init is a command-line tool used to manage Interactive Access Bridge (IAB) sessions. IAB is an innovative technology that establishes secure, outbound connections from a remote device to a host system. With cap_iab_init, you can establish, terminate, and manage IAB sessions with ease.

- -b, –bind: Bind to an existing IAB session.
- -c, –create: Create a new IAB session.

Bind to an existing IAB session:

Query IAB session status:

Common Issues
