SHMIF_DUMPBUS(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual SHMIF_DUMPBUS(1) NAME shmif_dumpbus - examine shmif bus contents SYNOPSIS shmif_dumpbus [-h] [-p pcapfile] busfile DESCRIPTION The shmif_dumpbus utility examines the bus of an shmif(4) Ethernet interface. The most useful feature is converting the bus to the pcap(3) file format for later examination. shmif_dumpbus itself is limited to displaying only very basic information about each frame. shmif_dumpbus accepts the following flags: -h Print bus header only and skip contents. -p pcapfile Convert bus contents to the pcap(3) format and write the result to pcapfile. The file - signifies stdout. EXAMPLES Feed the busfile contents to pcap: $ shmif_dumpbus -p - busfile | tcpdump -r - SEE ALSO pcap(3), shmif(4), tcpdump(8) CAVEATS shmif_dumpbus does not lock the busfile and is best used for post-mortem analysis of the bus traffic. The timestamp for each frame contains the sender's timestamp and may not be monotonically increasing with respect to the frame order in the dump.
