NAME

6       ovs-tcpundump - convert ``tcpdump -xx'' output to hex strings

DESCRIPTION

16       The  ovs-tcpundump  program  reads tcpdump -xx output on stdin, looking
17       for hexadecimal packet data, and dumps each Ethernet as a single  hexa‐
18       decimal  string  on  stdout.   This format is suitable for use with the
19       ofproto/trace command supported by ovs-vswitchd(8) via ovs-appctl(8).
20
21       At least two -x or -X options must be given, otherwise the output  will
22       omit  the  Ethernet  header, which prevents the output from being using
23       with ofproto/trace.
24

30       --version
