FLOW-CAT(1)

NAME
flow-cat - concatenate flows

SYNOPSIS
flow-cat [ -b little|big ] [ -C comment ] [ -d debuglevel ] [ -o path ] [ -z compresslevel ] [ -h? ]

DESCRIPTION
Flow-cat concatenates flow files together. Regular cat won't work because the flow files have headers.

OPTIONS
Set output byte order. Add a comment to the file header for the output flows. Set the level of debugging output. Output file name (default is stdout).

When the -o option to flow-cat is used, the total flows field in the header is properly updated. This can't be done for stdout because it's not rewindable. This field is informational, and not used for anything important. Compression level. Help!

EXAMPLES
Quick summary of traffic for all flows saved on 08-06-96:

    flow-cat cf05.1996-08-06.* | ./flow-stat -f15
Rewrite a flow file with compression level 0 (no compression)

    flow-cat -z0 cf05.1996-08-06.000001 > output
Rewrite a flow file with compression level 9 (best compression)

    flow-cat -z9 cf05.1996-08-06.000001 > output
