DESCRIPTION

13       The flow-rptfmt utility processes the CSV output  of  flow-report  into
14       formatted ASCII or HTML.  Sorting, maximum display lines, field filter,
15       header display, and name substitution are supported  during  post  pro‐
16       cessing.   Additionally  an  alarm can be set for use in CGI scripts to
17       limit the CPU time of formatting.

46       protocol and octets fields in percent total format with symbols.  Limit
47       output to top 5 sorted by octets.
48
49           cat   daily-ip-protocol.txt   |   flow-rptfmt  -fascii  -Fip-proto‐
50       col,octets -p -n -m5

BUGS

53       Sorting could be faster.  Percent totals could be faster.  May not work
54       with flow-report prior to 0.68.
