NAME

6       tcpdump_to_db - convert tcpdump textual output to fsdb
7

SYNOPSIS

9           tcpdump_to_db [-T] < source.tcpdump > target.fsdb
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Converts a tcpdump textual data stream to Fsdb format.
13
14       Currently it handles only TCP and silently fails on other traffic!
15       Awaiting enhancement... you're welcome to help.
16

OPTIONS

18       -t or --daytime
19           Adjust times relative to the first timestamp.  (Defaults on.)
20
21       This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
22
23       -d  Enable debugging output.
24
25       -i or --input InputSource
26           Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
27           input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
28           objects.
29
30       -o or --output OutputDestination
31           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
32           standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
33           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
34
35       --autorun or --noautorun
36           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
37           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
38           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
39
40       --help
41           Show help.
42
43       --man
44           Show full manual.
