If one or more filenames are specified, +.B pppdump +will read each in turn; otherwise it will read its standard input. In +each case the result is written to standard output. +.PP +The options are as follows: +.TP +.B -h +Prints the bytes sent and received in hexadecimal. If neither this +option nor the \fB-p\fR option is specified, the bytes are printed as +the characters themselves, with non-printing and non-ASCII characters +printed as escape sequences. +.TP +.B -p +Collects the bytes sent and received into PPP packets, interpreting +the async HDLC framing and escape characters 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 +`.'). +.TP +.B -d +With the \fB-p\fR option, this option causes +.B pppdump +to decompress packets which have been compressed with the BSD-Compress +or Deflate methods. +.TP +.B -r +Reverses the direction indicators, so that `sent' is printed for +bytes or packets received, and `rcvd' is printed for bytes or packets +sent. +.TP +.B -m \fImru +Use \fImru\fR as the MRU (maximum receive unit) for both directions of +the link when checking for over-length PPP packets (with the \fB-p\fR +option). +.SH SEE ALSO +pppd(8)
