NAME
      pppdump - convert PPP record file to readable format
 


SYNOPSIS
      pppdump [ -h | -p [ -d ]] [ -r ] [ -m mru ] [ file ... ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      The pppdump utility converts the  files  written  using  the
      record  option of pppd into a human-readable format.  If one
      or more filenames are specified, pppdump will read  each  in
      turn;  otherwise  it  will read its standard input.  In each
      case the result is written to standard output.
 
      The options are as follows:
 
      -h   Prints the bytes sent and received in hexadecimal.   If
           neither this option nor the -p option is specified, the
           bytes are printed as the  characters  themselves,  with
           non-printing and non-ASCII characters printed as escape
           sequences.
 
      -p   Collects the bytes sent and received into PPP  packets,
           interpreting  the async HDLC framing and escape charac-
           ters and checking the FCS  (frame  check  sequence)  of
           each packet.  The packets are printed as hex values and
           as characters (non-printable characters are printed  as
           `.').
 
      -d   With the -p  option,  this  option  causes  pppdump  to
           decompress  packets which have been compressed with the
           BSD-Compress or Deflate methods.
 
      -r   Reverses the direction indicators, so  that  `sent'  is
           printed  for  bytes  or packets received, and `rcvd' is
           printed for bytes or packets sent.
 
      -m mru
           Use mru as the MRU  (maximum  receive  unit)  for  both
           directions  of  the  link when checking for over-length
           PPP packets (with the -p option).
