SHMIF_DUMPBUS(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 					  SHMIF_DUMPBUS(1)

NAME

     shmif_dumpbus -- examine shmif bus contents

SYNOPSIS

     shmif_dumpbus [-h] [-p pcapfile] busfile

DESCRIPTION

     The shmif_dumpbus utility examines the bus of an shmif(4) Ethernet interface.  The most useful feature is converting the bus to the pcap(3)
     file format for later examination.  shmif_dumpbus itself is limited to displaying only very basic information about each frame.

     shmif_dumpbus accepts the following flags:

     -h 	     Print bus header only and skip contents.

     -p pcapfile     Convert bus contents to the pcap(3) format and write the result to pcapfile.  The file - signifies stdout.

EXAMPLES

     Feed the busfile contents to pcap:

	   $ shmif_dumpbus -p - busfile | tcpdump -r -

SEE ALSO

     pcap(3), shmif(4), tcpdump(8)

CAVEATS

     shmif_dumpbus does not lock the busfile and is best used for post-mortem analysis of the bus traffic.

     The timestamp for each frame contains the sender's timestamp and may not be monotonically increasing with respect to the frame order in the
     dump.

SC_WARTS2PCAP(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 					  SC_WARTS2PCAP(1)

NAME

     sc_warts2pcap -- write packets included in warts object to a pcap file.

SYNOPSIS

     sc_warts2pcap [-o outfile] [-s sort] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The sc_warts2pcap utility provides the ability to extract packets embedded in the tbit, sting, and sniff warts objects and write them to a
     pcap file, which can be read by tcpdump and wireshark.  The options are as follows:

     -o outfile
	     specifies the name of the output file.  If no output file is specified, it will be written to the standard output, provided that it
	     is not a tty.

     -o sort
	     specifies how the pcap records (packets) are sorted before being written out.  By default, no sorting is applied; the packets are
	     grouped as they are in the warts file.  If packet sorting is specified, the packets are written out in timestamp order.  Note that
	     this operation requires the packets to be read into memory to be sorted, so it will require a corresponding amount of memory to com-
	     plete.

EXAMPLES

     The command:

	sc_warts2pcap -o output.pcap file1.warts file2.warts

     will read the packet objects from file1.warts, and then file2.warts, and write them to output.pcap.

     The command:

	gzcat file1.warts.gz | sc_warts2pcap -s packet >file1.pcap

     will read the contents of the uncompressed warts file supplied on stdin, sort the packets by their timestamp, and then write the output to
     file1.pcap.
