NAME

ovs-tcpundump - convert "tcpdump -xx" output to hex strings

SYNOPSIS

ovs-tcpundump < <file>
 
ovs-tcpundump -h | --help
 
ovs-tcpundump -V | --version
 
The ovs-tcpundump program reads tcpdump -xx output from stdin, looking for hexadecimal packet data, and dumps each Ethernet as a single hexadecimal string on stdout. This format is suitable for use with the ofproto/trace command supported by ovs-vswitchd(8) via ovs-appctl(8).
 
At least two -x or -X options must be given, otherwise the output will omit the Ethernet header, which prevents the output from being used with ofproto/trace.

OPTIONS

-h or --help Prints a brief help message to the console.
-V or --version Prints version information to the console.

SEE ALSO

ovs-appctl(8), ovs-vswitchd(8), ovs-pcap(1), tcpdump(8), wireshark(8).
