NAME

4     sc_warts2pcap — write packets included in warts object to a pcap file.
5

SYNOPSIS

7     sc_warts2pcap [-o outfile] [-s sort] [file ...]
8

DESCRIPTION

10     The sc_warts2pcap utility provides the ability to extract packets embed‐
11     ded in the tbit, sting, and sniff warts objects and write them to a pcap
12     file, which can be read by tcpdump and wireshark.  The options are as
13     follows:
14
15     -o outfile
16             specifies the name of the output file.  If no output file is
17             specified, it will be written to the standard output, provided
18             that it is not a tty.
19
20     -o sort
21             specifies how the pcap records (packets) are sorted before being
22             written out.  By default, no sorting is applied; the packets are
23             grouped as they are in the warts file.  If packet sorting is
24             specified, the packets are written out in timestamp order.  Note
25             that this operation requires the packets to be read into memory
26             to be sorted, so it will require a corresponding amount of memory
27             to complete.

EXAMPLES

30     The command:
31
32        sc_warts2pcap -o output.pcap file1.warts file2.warts
33
34     will read the packet objects from file1.warts, and then file2.warts, and
35     write them to output.pcap.
36
37     The command:
38
39        gzcat file1.warts.gz | sc_warts2pcap -s packet >file1.pcap
40
41     will read the contents of the uncompressed warts file supplied on stdin,
42     sort the packets by their timestamp, and then write the output to
43     file1.pcap.
