TRACEMERGE(1) User Commands TRACEMERGE(1)NAMEtracemerge - Merge one (or more) traces together
SYNOPSIStracemerge [ -i [ interfaces_per_input ] | --set-interface [ inter‐
faces_per_input ] ] [ -u | --unique-packets ] [ -z | --compress-level
<level> ] [ -Z | --compress-type <method> ] outputuri inputuri...
DESCRPTIONtracemerge merges two or more traces together, keeping packets in
order.
-i[interfaces_per_input]
--set-interface[interfaces_per_input]
set the interface ("direction") for each input to be unique.
The optional inputs_per_interface parameter is how many inputs
to reserve for each trace, and defaults to 1. Thus if you have
two traces with two interfaces (in/out), and inter‐
faces_per_input is set to 2, then tracemerge will have the first
interface of the first input will be 0, the second interface of
the first input will be 1, the first interface of the second
input will be 2, and the second interface of the second input
will be 3.
Beware that erf only supports 4 interfaces, and pcap only sup‐
ports 2. Limitations apply based on the input trace format (not
the output trace format)
-u
--unique-packets
Ignore duplicate packets with identical timestamps.
-zlevel
--compress-levellevel
Sets the amount of compression performed on the output file.
This value can range from 0 (no compression) to 9 (maximum com‐
pression). Higher compression levels require more CPU to com‐
press data. Defaults to 0.
-Zmethod
--compress-typemethod
Describes the compression algorithm to be used when writing the
output trace. Possible methods are "gzip", "bzip2", "lzo" and
"none". Defaults to "none".
