ICMPINFO(1)		     General Commands Manual		     ICMPINFO(1)

NAME
     icmpinfo - interpret ICMP messages

SYNOPSIS
     icmpinfo [-v[v[v]]] [-n] [-p] [-s] [-l]

DESCRIPTION
     Icmpinfo is a tool for looking at the ICMP messages received on the running
     host.   It can be used to detect and record 'bombs' as well as various net-
     work problems.

     The output format is as follows (all on one line):

       MMM DD HH:MM:SS ICMP_type[sub-type]
	  < sender_ip [sender_name] > unreach_ip [unreach_name]
	  sp=source_port dp=dest_port seq=sequence sz=packet_size

     In normal operation, icmpinfo will only report on "weird"	packets,  mainly
     icmp_unreachable.

OPTIONS
     -v     Give information about all icmp packets, excepts pings.

     -vv    Give about pings too (i.e. icmp_echo_reply).

     -vvv   Include an ascii/hex dump of each packet

     -n     Avoid  name queries - just give IP addresses.  (use this option when
	    running unattended on name server hosts (to avoid possible looping))

     -p     Avoid port number to service name decoding.

     -s     Show the interface ip that received the packet. Usefull only if your
	    host has several network  interfaces.  In  this  case  an  '-  my_ip
	    [my_name]'	is  added  between  the  sender  and unreach ip and name
	    fields.

     -l     Forks and use the syslog(3) facility to  record  events  (recomended
	    use).  (root only option).

WARNINGS
     The  packet  decoding is planned for ICMP Unreachable outputs and might not
     be significant for all other Icmp types. Output can be shorter when implied
     by the packet size or the icmp type.
