NAME

       tracediff - find and print differences between two traces

SYNOPSIS

       tracediff [ -m maxdiff ] firsturi seconduri

DESCRIPTION

       tracediff  compares  two  trace	files and prints the details of packets that differ to standard output. This is useful for finding packets
       that are present in one trace but not another or for finding conversion or snapping errors.

       -m maxdiff
	      stop processing after displaying 'maxdiff' differences

EXAMPLES

       tracediff -m 10 erf:/traces/orig.erf.gz pcapfile:/traces/convert.pcap.gz

BUGS

       Not exactly a bug, but the contents of the framing headers (i.e. the PCAP or ERF encapsulation) are not compared.
