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  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 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.
