ovs-tcpundump(1) Open vSwitch Manual ovs-tcpundump(1)
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.
