NAME

       atopconvert - convert raw log file to newer version

SYNOPSIS

       atopconvert [-t version ] rawinput [rawoutput]

DESCRIPTION

       The program atopconvert can be used to convert the layout of a raw log file to a newer version.  The only
       mandatory  argument  is  the  name of the raw input file. When no output file is specified on the command
       line, atopconvert only shows the version of the  input  file.   When  the  name  of  an  output  file  is
       specified,  the  input  file  will  be  converted  to the output file, or just copied when the input file
       already has the required version.

       The program atopconvert converts the input file (by default) to the format used by the newest version  of
       atop  and  writes  to the output file. With the -t option, an alternative target version can be specified
       for the output file (instead of the newest version) in the format major.minor (example: 2.3).
       After the conversion is finished, the output file can be read by the newer version of atop or can even be
       extended by that atop version.

NOTES

       The raw input file should be at least of version 2.0!

       Files can only be upgraded to higher version, but not downgraded.
