DESCRIPTION
EtherApe is a network traffic browser. It displays network activity
graphically. It uses GNOME libraries as its user interface, and libp‐
cap, a packet capture and filtering library.
OPTIONS
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 cap‐
ture 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
SIGNALS
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!
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
APE_DEBUG=normal|info|debug
controls debug output verbosity. Debug informations are printed
on standard output.
FILES
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 proto‐
col names.
