NAME

       rasort - sort argus(8) data file.

SYNOPSIS

       rasort [[-M sortmode] [-m sort fields] ...]  [raoptions] [-- filter-expression]

DESCRIPTION

       Rasort  reads  argus data from an argus-data source, sorts the records based on the criteria specified on
       the command line, and outputs a valid argus-stream.

OPTIONS

       Rasort, like all ra based clients, supports a number of ra options including  filtering  of  input  argus
       records  through  a  terminating  filter expression.  See ra(1) for a complete description of ra options.
       rasort(1) specific options are:

       -M replace
           Replace the existing file(s) with the sorted output(s).

       -m field [field ...]
           Supported sort fields are:
              stime          record start time <default>
              ltime          record last time.
              trans          aggregation record count.
              dur            record total duration.
              avgdur         record average duration.
              mindur         record minimum duration.

INVOCATION

       A sample invocation of rasort(1).  This call reads argus(8) data from inputfile and sorts the IP protocol
       based  argus(8)  data, first by the destination IP address, then by the service (destination) port number
       and then by the source IP address, and writes the results to stdout.  For most  services,  this  arranges
       argus(8) formatted data by server, service, and then by client.

       rasort -r inputfile -m daddr dport saddr - ip
