NAME

       atopconvert - convert raw log file to newer version

SYNOPSIS

       atopconvert [-t version ] rawinput [rawoutput]

DESCRIPTION

       The  program  atopconvert  can  be used to convert the layout of a raw log file to a newer
       version.  The only mandatory argument is the name of the raw input file.  When  no  output
       file  is  specified  on  the command line, atopconvert only shows the version of the input
       file.  When the name of an output file is specified, the input file will be  converted  to
       the output file, or just copied when the input file already has the required version.

       The  program  atopconvert  converts  the input file (by default) to the format used by the
       newest version of atop and writes to the output file. With the -t option,  an  alternative
       target version can be specified for the output file (instead of the newest version) in the
       format major.minor (example: 2.3).
       After the conversion is finished, the output file can be read by the newer version of atop
       or can even be extended by that atop version.

NOTES

       The raw input file should be at least of version 2.0!

       Files can only be upgraded to higher version, but not downgraded.
