NAME

       ovs-tcpundump - convert ``tcpdump -xx'' output to hex strings

SYNOPSIS

       ovs-tcpundump < file

       Common options:
              [-h | --help] [-V | --version]

DESCRIPTION

       The  ovs-tcpundump  program  reads  tcpdump  -xx  output on stdin, looking for hexadecimal
       packet data, and dumps each Ethernet as a  single  hexadecimal  string  on  stdout.   This
       format is suitable for use with the ofproto/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 using with ofproto/trace.

OPTIONS

       -h
       --help Prints a brief help message to the console.

       -V
       --version
              Prints version information to the console.
