.TH ft2nfdump 1 2009\-09\-09 "" "" .SH NAME ft2nfdump \- flow-tools data converter program .SH SYNOPSIS .HP 5 .B ft2nfdump [options] .SH DESCRIPTION .B ft2nfdump is the flow-tools converter program to read, convert and store netflow data, created with the flow-tools package. It works either as a pipe filter or reads flow-tools data format directly from file and exports nfdump data format at stdout. .SH OPTIONS .TP 3 .B -r Read flow-tools formated netflow data from file \fIflow-tools-file. Default: Read from stdin. .TP 3 .B -w Write nfdump formated file for converted netflow data Default: Write to stdout. .TP 3 .B -j Compress flows. Use bz2 compression in output file. Space efficient methode .TP 3 .B -z Compress flows. Use fast LZO1X\-1 compression in output file. Fastest method .TP 3 .B -c \fInum Read only \fBnum\fR flows from input file. .TP 3 .B -E Print raw netflow records to stdout. This option is for debugging purpose only, to see any incoming netflow data. Compatible to option -E in nfcapd. .TP 3 .B -V Print ft2nfdump version and exit. .TP 3 .B -h Print help text on stdout with all options and exit. .SH "RETURN VALUE" Returns .PD 0 .RS 4 0 No error. \fn .P 255 Conversion failed. .RE .PD .SH "EXAMPLES" .B flow-cat ft-v05.2015-05-01.* | ft2nfdump -j -w nfcap.20150501 Convert files into nfdump format. .P .B flow-cat ft-v05.2001-05-01.* | ft2nfdump | nfdump -w nfcap.20010501 Convert files into nfdump format. .P .B ft2nfdump -r ft-v05.2001-05-01 | nfdump -w nfcap.20010501 Convert files into nfdump format. .P .SH NOTES .P .SH "SEE ALSO" nfcapd(1), nfdump(1), nfprofile(1), nfreplay(1) .SH BUGS
