I haven't tried, but maybe some of the *test* or other methods in
the xrl_pim_shell_funcs.sh file?

Maybe one of the original developers will speak up.

Or, possibly using something like gitk or 'git log' one could
search back and see if any commits went in mentioning that
feature.
This assumes you would be using a git import of the xorp
source code tree, such as my xorp.ct branch:
