NAME
     tracesplit - split traces

SYNOPSIS
     tracesplit  [ -f bpf | --filter=bpf] [ -c count | --count=count] [ -b bytes
     | --bytes=bytes] [ -i seconds | --seconds=seconds] [ -s unixtime | --start-
     time=unixtime] [ -e unixtime | --endtime=unixtime] [ -m maxfiles  |  --max-
     files=maxfiles]  [ -S snaplen | --snaplen=snaplen] [ -z level | --compress-
     level=level] [ -Z method | --compress-type=method] inputuri [inputuri  ...]
     outputuri

DESCRIPTION
     tracesplit splits the given input traces into multiple tracefiles

     -f bpf filter
	    output only packets that match tcpdump style bpf filter

     -c count
	    output count packets per output file.  The output file will be named
	    after  the basename given in the outputuri with the packet number of
	    the first packet in this file.

     -b bytes
	    output bytes bytes per file

     -i seconds
	    start a new tracefile after "seconds" seconds

     -s unixtime
	    don't output any packets before unixtime

     -e unixtime
	    don't output any packets after unixtime

     -m maxfiles
	    do not create more than "maxfiles" trace files

     -S snaplen
	    Truncate packets to "snaplen" bytes long.  The  default  is  collect
	    the entire packet.

     -z level
	    Compress  the  data  using	the specified compression level, ranging
	    from 0 to 9.  Higher compression levels tend  to  result  in  better
	    compression but require more processing power to compress.

     -Z compression-method
	    Compress  the  data  using	the specified compression algorithm. Ac-
	    cepted methods are "gzip", "bzip2", "lzo" or "none".  Default  value
	    is	none unless a compression level is specified, in which case gzip
	    will be used.

EXAMPLES
     create a 1MB erf trace of port 80 traffic.
     tracesplit -z 1 -Z gzip -f 'port 80' -b $[ 1024 * 1024 ]
     erf:/traces/bigtrace.gz erf:/traces/port80.gz
