18 !!DESCRIPTION
19
20
21 The __pppdump__ utility converts the files written using
22 the ''record'' option of __pppd__ into a
23 human-readable format. If one or more filenames are
24 specified, __pppdump__ will read each in turn; otherwise
25 it will read its standard input. In each case the result is
26 written to standard output.
27
28
29 The options are as follows:
30
31
32 __-h__
33
34
35 Prints the bytes sent and received in hexadecimal. If
36 neither this option nor the __-p__ option is specified,
37 the bytes are printed as the characters themselves, with
38 non-printing and non-ASCII characters printed as escape
39 sequences.
40
41
42 __-p__
43
44
45 Collects the bytes sent and received into PPP packets,
46 interpreting the async HDLC framing and escape characters
47 and checking the FCS (frame check sequence) of each packet.
48 The packets are printed as hex values and as characters
49 (non-printable characters are printed as `.').
50
51
52 __-d__
53
54
55 With the __-p__ option, this option causes __pppdump__
56 to decompress packets which have been compressed with the
57 BSD-Compress or Deflate methods.
58
59
60 __-r__
61
62
63 Reverses the direction indicators, so that `sent' is printed
64 for bytes or packets received, and `rcvd' is printed for
65 bytes or packets sent.
66
67
68 __-m__ ''mru''
69
70
71 Use ''mru'' as the MRU (maximum receive unit) for both
72 directions of the link when checking for over-length PPP
73 packets (with the __-p__ option).
