flow-merge(1)		     General Commands Manual		   flow-merge(1)

NAME
     flow-merge -- Merge flow files.

SYNOPSIS
     flow-merge  [-aghm]   [-b	big|little]  [-C comment]  [-d debug_level]  [-o
     filename]	[-z z_level]  [file|directory ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The flow-merge utility processes files and/or directories of files  in  the
     flow-tools  format.   The resulting merged data set is written to the stan-
     dard output or file specified by -o.  If file is a single dash (`-') or ab-
     sent, flow-merge will read from the standard input.  Unlike flow-cat, flow-
     merge interleaves flow records preserving the relative chronological order.

OPTIONS
     -a        Do not ignore filenames that begin with tmp.

     -b big|little
	       Byte order of output.

     -C CommentAdd a comment.

     -d debug_level
	       Enable debugging.

     -g        Sort file list by capture start time before processing.

     -h        Display help.

     -m        Disable the use of mmap().

     -p        Preload headers.  Use to preserve meta information such	as  lost
	       flows.

     -o file   Write to file instead of the standard out.

     -z z_levelConfigure  compression level to	z_level.  0 is disabled (no com-
	       pression), 9 is highest compression.

     file|directory...
	       Process the files and/or directory.

EXAMPLES
     Merge all flow files begining with  ft-v05.2001-05.01,  use  flow-print  to
     display the results.
