EtherApe is a network traffic browser. It displays network activity graphically. It uses GNOME libraries as its user interface, and libpcap, a packet capture and filtering library. |
These options can be supplied to the command: |
-d, --diagram-only |
don’t display any node text identification |
-f, --filter <capture filter> |
set capture filter |
--final-export <export file name> |
when replaying, export to named file at end of replay |
--glade-file <filename> |
uses the named libglade file to load interface instead of the default. |
-i, --interface <interface name> |
set interface to listen to |
-l, --node-limit <number> |
sets the maximum number of node visible |
-m, --mode <link|ip|tcp> |
set mode of operation (default is ip) |
--max-delay <delay in ms> |
caps timestamps to the provided delay when replaying a capture file. |
--min-delay <delay in ms> |
provides a minimum to inter-packet delay when replaying a capture file. |
-n, --numeric |
don’t convert addresses to names, disables name resolution. |
-q |
disables informational messages. |
-r, --replay-file <file name> |
sets input file to replay |
-s |
Place nodes using an alternate algorithm. Deprecated. |
--signal-export <export file name> |
if specified, enables signal USR1 handling. On receiving USR1, EtherApe will dump its state to the named XML file. Beware! the file will be overwritten without asking! |
-?, --help |
show a brief help message |
USR1 |
on receipt of signal USR1, and if enabled with --signal-export, EtherApe will dump its state to the chosen xml file. |
Beware! the file will be overwritten without asking! |
APE_DEBUG=normal|info|debug |
controls debug output verbosity. Debug informations are printed on standard output. |
Etherape will use /etc/ethers if there is one to convert MAC addresses to names and /etc/services to associate TCP/UDP port numbers to protocol names. |
