SC_WARTS2PCAP(1)       DragonFly General Commands Manual      SC_WARTS2PCAP(1)

NAME
     sc_warts2pcap - write packets included in warts object to a pcap file.

SYNOPSIS
     sc_warts2pcap [-o outfile] [-s sort] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The sc_warts2pcap utility provides the ability to extract packets
     embedded in the tbit, sting, and sniff warts objects and write them to a
     pcap file, which can be read by tcpdump and wireshark.  The options are
     as follows:

     -o outfile
             specifies the name of the output file.  If no output file is
             specified, it will be written to the standard output, provided
             that it is not a tty.

     -o sort
             specifies how the pcap records (packets) are sorted before being
             written out.  By default, no sorting is applied; the packets are
             grouped as they are in the warts file.  If packet sorting is
             specified, the packets are written out in timestamp order.  Note
             that this operation requires the packets to be read into memory
             to be sorted, so it will require a corresponding amount of memory
             to complete.

EXAMPLES
     The command:

     sc_warts2pcap -o output.pcap file1.warts file2.warts

     will read the packet objects from file1.warts, and then file2.warts, and
     write them to output.pcap.

     The command:

     gzcat file1.warts.gz | sc_warts2pcap -s packet >file1.pcap

     will read the contents of the uncompressed warts file supplied on stdin,
     sort the packets by their timestamp, and then write the output to
     file1.pcap.
