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 cre- ates 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 "nobody".) 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 protocol data.) FreeBSD Ports 14.quarterly Oct 31, 2016 tcplog_dumper(1)
