NAME
       dropwatch - kernel dropped packet monitoring utility

SYNOPSIS
       dropwatch [-l <method> | list]

DESCRIPTION
       dropwatch  dropwatch  is	 an  interactive  utility  for	monitoring and
       recording packets that are dropped by the kernel

OPTIONS
       -l <method> | list
	      Select the translation method to use when a drop alert  arrives.
	      By  default  the	raw  instruction pointer of a drop location is
	      output, but by the use of the -l option, we can assign a	transā€
	      lation  method so that the instruction pointer can be translated
	      into function names.  Currently supported lookup methods are:

       kas - use /proc/kallsyms to lookup  instruction	pointers  to  function
       mappings

INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
       start  Tells the kernel to start reporting dropped packets

       stop   Tells the kernel to discontinue reporting dropped packets

       exit   Exits the dropmonitor program

       help   Displays summary of all commands

       set alertlimit <value>
	      Sets a triggerpoint to stop monitoring for dropped packets after
	      <value> alerts have been received
