tcptrace arguments
-
-
Output format options
-
-b
- brief output format
-
-l
- long output format
-
-r
- print rtt statistics (slower for large files)
-
-W
- report on estimated congestion window
(not generally useful)
-
-q
- no normal output
(useful to just see what modules have to say)
-
-
Graphing options
-
-T
- create throughput graph[s], (average over 10 segments, see -A)
-
-R
- create rtt sample graph[s]
-
-S
- create time sequence graph[s]
-
-G
- create ALL 3 graphs
-
-
Output format detail options
-
-D
- print in decimal
-
-X
- print in hexidecimal
-
-n
- don't resolve host or service names (much faster)
-
-s
- use short names (list "picard.cs.ohiou.edu" as just "picard")
-
-
Connection filtering options
-
-iN
- ignore connection N (can use multiple times)
-
-oN
- only connection N (can use multiple times)
-
-c
- ignore non-complete connections (didn't see syn's and fin's)
-
-BN
- first segment number to analyze (default 1)
-
-EN
- last segment number to analyze (default last in file)
-
-
Graphing detail options
-
-C
- produce color plot[s]
-
-M
- produce monochrome (b/w) plot[s]
-
-AN
- Average N segments for throughput graphs, default is 10
-
-z
- zero axis options
- -z plot time axis from 0 rather than wall clock time (backward compat)
- -zx plot time axis from 0 rather than wall clock time
- -zy plot sequence numbers from 0 (time sequence graphs only)
- -zxy plot both axes from 0
-
-y
- omit the (yellow) instantaneous throughput points in tput graph
-
-
Misc options
-
-Z
- dump raw rtt sample times to file[s]
-
-p
- print ALL packets
-
-P
- print selected packets
-
-t
- 'tick' off the packet numbers as a progress indication
-
-v
- print version information and exit
-
-w
- print various warning messages
-
-e
- extract contents of each TCP stream into a file
-
-fEXPR
- output filtering (see -hfilter)
-
-u
- print minimal UDP information too
-
-Ofile
- dump matched packets to tcpdump file 'file'
-
-d
- whistle while you work (enable debug, use -d -d for more output)
-
+[v]
- reverse the setting of the -[v] flag (for booleans)
