NAME

       flow-print — Display flows in formatted ASCII.

SYNOPSIS

       flow-print [-hlnpw]  [-d debug_level]  [-f format]

DESCRIPTION

       The  flow-print  utility  will  display  flow  data  in  ASCII  using  pre-defined formats
       selectable with -f.

       Some of the less descriptive column headers are defined below

OPTIONS

       -d debug_level
                 Enable debugging.

       -f format Select format.  The default is appropriate for the export type of the flow data.
                 Available formats are:

           0 1 line, interfaces, hex ports
           1 2 line (includes timing and flags)
           2 2 line candidate TCP syn attack flows
           3 1 line, no interfaces, decimal ports
           4 1 line with AS number
           5 1 line, 132 column
           6 show ip accounting emulation
           7 1 line, 132 column +router_id
           8 1 line, 132 column +encapsulation
           9 1 line with tag values
          10 AS aggregation
          11 Protocol Port aggregation
          12 Source Prefix aggregation
          13 Destination Prefix aggregation
          14 Prefix aggregation
          15 Destination aggregation (Catalyst)
          16 Source Destination aggregation (Catalyst)
          17 Full Flow (Catalyst)
          18 ToS AS Aggregation
          19 ToS Proto Port aggregation
          20 ToS Source Prefix aggregation
          21 ToS Destination Prefix aggregation
          22 ToS Prefix Aggregation
          23 ToS Prefix Port aggregation
          24 Full (Catalyst)

       -h        Display help.

       -l        Unbuffer output.

       -n        Use symbolic names where appropriate.

       -p        Display header information.

       -w        Wide output.
