flowreplay is a tool for using network traffic stored in pcap(3) files as
the basis for replaying connections to servers.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents, briefly, the \fBflowreplay\fP command.
Please note that flowreplay is currently in \fBalpha\fP.  As such, it is still
very much a work in progress and currently will not work for most uses.  If
you have the skill and interest to help make flowreplay work better, please
contact Aaron Turner.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR -d " \fInumber\fP, " --dbug "=" \fInumber\fP
Enable debugging output.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
The value of \fInumber\fP is constrained to being:
.in +4
.nf
.na
in the range  0 through 5
.fi
.in -4
The default \fInumber\fP for this option is:
.ti +4
 0
.sp
If configured with --enable-debug, then you can specify a verbosity 
level for debugging output.  Higher numbers increase verbosity.
.TP
.BR -v ", " --verbose
Print decoded packets via tcpdump to STDOUT.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
.sp

.TP
.BR -A " \fIstring\fP, " --decode "=" \fIstring\fP
Arguments passed to tcpdump decoder.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option must appear in combination with the following options:
verbose.
.sp
When enabling verbose mode (\fB-v\fP) you may also specify one or more
additional  arguments to pass to \fBtcpdump\fP to modify the way packets
are decoded.  By default, -n and -l are used.   Be  sure  to
quote the arguments like: -A "-axxx" so that they are not interpreted
by tcpreplay.  The following arguments are vaild:
    [ -aAeNqRStuvxX ]
    [ -E spi@ipaddr algo:secret,... ]
    [ -s snaplen ]
.TP
.BR -m " \fIstring\fP, " --mode "=" \fIstring\fP
Replay mode.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
.sp
Flowreplay needs to know handle client/server exchanges to properly time.
The options are:
.sp
.IR "\fBsend\fP"
Replay traffic as fast as possible.  Do not wait for server to reply.
.sp
.IR "\fBwait\fP"
Wait \fB--wait\fP sec.usec for the server to reply before sending.
.sp
.IR "\fBbytes\fP"
Wait until the server has sent the number of bytes stored in the pcap file.
.sp
.IR "\fBuser\fP"
Send packets based on user interaction.
.br
.TP
.BR -w " \fIstring\fP, " --wait "=" \fIstring\fP
Number of sec.usec to wait between client's turn to send.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
.sp
If \fB--mode\fP is \fBwait\fP, then you can specify the amount of time to 
wait for the server to complete it's side of the transaction before starting
to send the client side again.
.TP
.BR -t " \fIstring\fP, " --targetip "=" \fIstring\fP
Target host to connect to.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
.sp
This option has not been fully documented.
.TP
.BR -f " \fIstring\fP, " --filter "=" \fIstring\fP
BPF filter to limit which flows are replayed.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
.sp

.TP
.BR -c " \fIstring\fP, " --clientnet "=" \fIstring\fP
Client network(s).
.sp
This option has not been fully documented.
.TP
.BR -s " \fIstring\fP, " --servernet "=" \fIstring\fP
Server network(s).
.sp
This option has not been fully documented.
.TP
.BR -n ", " --nosyn
Disable Syn packet requirement to start connections.
.sp
This option has not been fully documented.
.TP
.BR -l " \fIstring\fP, " --slimit "=" \fIstring\fP
Service limit to proto/port.
.sp
This option has not been fully documented.
.TP
.BR -V ", " --version
Print version information.
.sp

.TP
.BR -h ", " --less-help
Display less usage information and exit.
.sp

.TP
.BR \-H , " \--help"
Display usage information and exit.
.TP
.BR \-! , " \--more-help"
Extended usage information passed thru pager.
.TP
.BR \- " [\fIrcfile\fP]," " \--save-opts" "[=\fIrcfile\fP]"
Save the option state to \fIrcfile\fP.  The default is the \fIlast\fP
configuration file listed in the \fBOPTION PRESETS\fP section, below.
.TP
.BR \- " \fIrcfile\fP," " \--load-opts" "=\fIrcfile\fP," " --no-load-opts"
Load options from \fIrcfile\fP.
The \fIno-load-opts\fP form will disable the loading
of earlier RC/INI files.  \fI--no-load-opts\fP is handled early,
out of order.
.SH OPTION PRESETS
Any option that is not marked as \fInot presettable\fP may be preset
by loading values from configuration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s).
The \fIhomerc\fP file is "\fI$$/\fP", unless that is a directory.
In that case, the file "\fI.flowreplayrc\fP"
is searched for within that directory.
