.PP
This tool is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(7)

log2pcap
reads in a samba log file and generates a pcap file (readable by most sniffers, such as ethereal or tcpdump) based on the packet dumps in the log file\&.
.PP
The log file must have a
\fIlog level\fR
of at least
\fB5\fR
to get the SMB header/parameters right,
\fB10\fR
to get the first 512 data bytes of the packet and
\fB50\fR
to get the whole packet\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-h
.RS 4
If this parameter is specified the output file will be a hex dump, in a format that is readable by the
text2pcap
utility\&.

.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ log2pcap < /var/log/* > trace\&.pcap
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Convert to pcap using text2pcap:
.PP
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ log2pcap \-h samba\&.log | text2pcap \-T 139,139 \- trace\&.pcap
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is part of version 4\&.11\&.6 of the Samba suite\&.

.SH "AUTHOR"

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
