NAME

       tracemerge - Merge one (or more) traces together

SYNOPSIS

       tracemerge  [  -i  [ interfaces_per_input ] | --set-interface [ interfaces_per_input ] ] [ -u | --unique-
       packets ] [ -z | --compress-level <level> ] [ -Z | --compress-type <method> ] outputuri inputuri...

DESCRPTION

       tracemerge merges two or more traces together, keeping packets in order.

       -i[interfaces_per_input]
       --set-interface[interfaces_per_input]
              set the interface ("direction") for each input to be unique.   The  optional  inputs_per_interface
              parameter  is  how many inputs to reserve for each trace, and defaults to 1.  Thus if you have two
              traces with two interfaces (in/out), and interfaces_per_input is set to 2,  then  tracemerge  will
              have  the  first  interface  of the first input will be 0, the second interface of the first input
              will be 1, the first interface of the second input will be 2, and  the  second  interface  of  the
              second input will be 3.

              Beware  that erf only supports 4 interfaces, and pcap only supports 2.  Limitations apply based on
              the input trace format (not the output trace format)

       -u
       --unique-packets
              Ignore duplicate packets with identical timestamps.

       -zlevel
       --compress-levellevel
              Sets the amount of compression performed on the output file. This  value  can  range  from  0  (no
              compression)  to  9  (maximum compression). Higher compression levels require more CPU to compress
              data. Defaults to 0.

       -Zmethod
       --compress-typemethod
              Describes the compression algorithm to be used when writing the output  trace.   Possible  methods
              are "gzip", "bzip2", "lzo", "xz" and "none". Defaults to "none".
