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" and "none". Defaults to
"none".
