Provided by: libtrace-tools_3.0.21-1ubuntu2_amd64 bug

NAME

       tracediff - find and print differences between two traces

SYNOPSIS

       tracediff [ -m maxdiff ] firsturi seconduri

DESCRIPTION

       tracediff compares two trace files and prints the details of packets that differ to standard output. This
       is useful for finding packets that are present in one trace but not another or for finding conversion  or
       snapping errors.

       -m maxdiff
              stop processing after displaying 'maxdiff' differences

EXAMPLES

       tracediff -m 10 erf:/traces/orig.erf.gz pcapfile:/traces/convert.pcap.gz

BUGS

       Not  exactly  a bug, but the contents of the framing headers (i.e. the PCAP or ERF encapsulation) are not
       compared.
