NAME

       ovs-tcpundump - convert "tcpdump -xx" output to hex strings

SYNOPSIS

       ovs-tcpundump < <file>

       ovs-tcpundump -h | --help

       ovs-tcpundump -V | --version

       The  ovs-tcpundump  program reads tcpdump -xx output 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
       ofproto/trace command supported by ovs-vswitchd(8) via ovs-appctl(8).

       At  least  two  -x or -X options must be given, otherwise the output will omit the Ethernet header, which
       prevents the output from being used with ofproto/trace.

OPTIONS

       • -h or --help

         Prints a brief help message to the console.

       • -V or --version

         Prints version information to the console.
