.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBovs\-tcpundump < <file>\fP
.sp
\fBovs\-tcpundump \-h | \-\-help\fP
.sp
\fBovs\-tcpundump \-V | \-\-version\fP
.sp
The \fBovs\-tcpundump\fP program reads \fBtcpdump \-xx output\fP from stdin,
looking for hexadecimal packet data, and dumps each Ethernet as a
single hexadecimal string on stdout.  This format is suitable for use
with the \fBofproto/trace\fP command supported by \fBovs\-vswitchd(8)\fP
via \fBovs\-appctl(8)\fP\&.
.sp
At least two \fB\-x\fP or \fB\-X\fP options must be given, otherwise the
output will omit the Ethernet header, which prevents the output from
being used with \fBofproto/trace\fP\&.
