SHMIF_DUMPBUS(1)	  BSD 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 inter‐
     face.  The most useful feature is converting the bus to the pcap(3) file
     format for later examination.  shmif_dumpbus itself is limited to dis‐
     playing 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.
