OVS-TCPUNDUMP(1)                 Open vSwitch                 OVS-TCPUNDUMP(1)



NAME
       ovs-tcpundump - convert "tcpdump -xx" output to hex strings

SYNOPSIS
       ovs-tcpundump < <file>

       ovs-tcpundump -h | --help

       ovs-tcpundump -V | --version

       The  ovs-tcpundump program reads tcpdump -xx output from stdin, looking
       for hexadecimal packet data, and dumps each Ethernet as a single  hexa‐
       decimal string on stdout.  This format is suitable for use with the of‐
       proto/trace command supported by ovs-vswitchd(8) via ovs-appctl(8).

       At least two -x or -X options must be given, otherwise the output  will
       omit  the  Ethernet  header,  which prevents the output from being used
       with ofproto/trace.

OPTIONS
       • -h or --help

         Prints a brief help message to the console.

       • -V or --version

         Prints version information to the console.
