pppdump - convert PPP record file to readable format
SYNOPSIS
pppdump [ -h | -p [ -d ]] [ -r ] [ -m mru ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The pppdump utility converts the files written using the
record option of pppd into a human-readable format. If
one or more filenames are specified, pppdump will read
each in turn; otherwise it will read its standard input.
In each case the result is written to standard output.
The options are as follows:
-h Prints the bytes sent and received in hexadecimal.
If neither this option nor the -p option is speci
fied, the bytes are printed as the characters them
selves, with non-printing and non-ASCII characters
printed as escape sequences.
-p Collects the bytes sent and received into PPP pack
ets, interpreting the async HDLC framing and escape
characters and checking the FCS (frame check
sequence) of each packet. The packets are printed
as hex values and as characters (non-printable
characters are printed as `.').
-d With the -p option, this option causes pppdump to
decompress packets which have been compressed with
the BSD-Compress or Deflate methods.
-r Reverses the direction indicators, so that `sent'
is printed for bytes or packets received, and
`rcvd' is printed for bytes or packets sent.
-m mru Use mru as the MRU (maximum receive unit) for both
directions of the link when checking for over-
length PPP packets (with the -p option).
