NAME

artsprotos - utility to display protocol table objects from ARTS files

SYNOPSIS

artsprotos [-v] [-n] [-p] [-i ifIndexList] [-b beginTime] 
           [-e endTime] infile(s)

DESCRIPTION

artsprotos is a utility that reads protocol table objects from ARTS files (infile(s)) and displays a summary of their contents on stdout.

OPTIONS

-v

The -v option causes artsprotos to print version information and exit immediately.

-n

The -n option causes artsprotos to print protocol numbers instead of trying to print protocol names (usually stored in /etc/protocols). The default (without the -n option) tries to print protocol names (only print numbers when we can't find the protocol name for a given protocol number).

-p

The -p option will cause the entries to be sorted in descending order by packet count before being printed on stdout. The default is to sort in descending order by byte count.

-i ifIndex

The -i ifIndexList option permits selecting only data for a specific input interface or set of input interfaces. Selection is by the interface's ifIndex stored in the attribute section of the Arts objects.

-b beginTime

The -b beginTime option may be used to select only the data which is from a time period at or later than beginTime. beginTime must be of the form 'MM/DD/CCYY hh:mm:ss' and must be enclosed in quotes. Example:

  '8/31/1999 09:00:00'

-e endTime

The -e endTime option may be used to select only the data which is from a time period at or before endTime. endTime must be of the form 'MM/DD/CCYY hh:mm:ss' and must be enclosed in quotes. Example:

  '8/31/1999 09:00:00'

EXAMPLES

artsprotos -i 1,5 -b '8/21/1998 09:00:00' arts.19980821
