tcplog_dumper(1)	     General Commands Manual		tcplog_dumper(1)

NAME
     tcplog_dumper -- Gather the data from the tcp logs.

SYNOPSIS
     tcplog_dumper [-dhJ] [-D output-directory] [-f input-file] [-p pid-file]
		   [-u username]

DESCRIPTION
     The  tcplog_dumper  utility is designed pull data from the TCP log buffers.
     It then writes appropriate records to disk.  At present, it  only	supports
     the black box log records.

     The options are as follows:

     -D      Store  the output files in output-directory.  Each record creates a
	     separate file.  In addition, tcplog_dumper keeps a  record  of  all
	     the  files  it  produces  in  a file named "records".  All of these
	     files are stored in output-directory.

     -d      Daemonize the process.

     -f      Read the input from input-file.

     -h      Display the help message.

     -J      Compress the output using the XZ format.

     -p      Write the PID to pid-file.

     -u      After opening the input file, set the  UID  and  GID  to  those  of
	     username.	 (By  default,	the program will try to become user "no-
	     body".)

     All the flags are optional.  To see the default values  compiled  into  the
     program, use the -h option.

SEE ALSO
     xz(1)

BUGS
     The  syslog integration is not complete; hence, all the output comes to the
     controlling terminal.

     There are many places where the program simply crashes rather than  try  to
     recover from an error.  (However, these are not all bugs as there is no way
     to  gracefully recover from a loss of synchronization with a stream of pro-
     tocol data.)
