NAME
ovs-tcpundump - convert ``tcpdump -xx'' output to hex strings SYNOPSIS
ovs-tcpundump < file Common options: [-h | --help] [-V | --version] DESCRIPTION
The ovs-tcpundump program reads tcpdump -xx output on stdin, looking for hexadecimal packet data, and dumps each Ethernet as a single hexa- decimal 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 using with ofproto/trace. OPTIONS
-h, --help Prints a brief help message to the console. -V, --version Prints version information to the console. SEE ALSO
ovs-appctl(8), ovs-vswitchd(8), ovs-pcap(1), tcpdump(8), wireshark(8). Open vSwitch December 2010 ovs-tcpundump(1)
