TRACEDIFF(1)                     User Commands                    TRACEDIFF(1)

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.
