NAME

       pppdump - convert PPP record file to readable format

SYNOPSIS

       pppdump [ -h | -p [ -d ]] [ -r ] [ -m mru ] [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  pppdump  utility  converts  the  files written using the record option of pppd into a human-readable
       format.  If one or more filenames are specified, pppdump will read each in turn; otherwise it  will  read
       its standard input.  In each case the result is written to standard output.

       The options are as follows:

       -h     Prints  the  bytes  sent and received in hexadecimal.  If neither this option nor the -p option is
              specified, the bytes are printed as the characters themselves,  with  non-printing  and  non-ASCII
              characters printed as escape sequences.

       -p     Collects  the  bytes  sent  and received into PPP packets, interpreting the async HDLC framing and
              escape characters and checking the FCS (frame check sequence) of each  packet.   The  packets  are
              printed as hex values and as characters (non-printable characters are printed as `.').

       -d     With  the  -p  option, this option causes pppdump to decompress packets which have been compressed
              with the BSD-Compress or Deflate methods.

       -r     Reverses the direction indicators, so that `sent' is printed for bytes or  packets  received,  and
              `rcvd' is printed for bytes or packets sent.

       -m mru Use  mru as the MRU (maximum receive unit) for both directions of the link when checking for over-
              length PPP packets (with the -p option).
