NAME
rwswapbytes - Convert the byte order of a SiLK Flow file
SYNOPSIS
rwswapbytes
{--big-endian|--little-endian|--native-endian|--swap-endian}
[--note-add=TEXT] [--note-file-add=FILE]
INPUT_FILE OUTPUT_FILE
rwswapbytes --help
rwswapbytes --version
DESCRIPTION
Change the byte order of INPUT_FILE as specified by the option and
write the result to OUTPUT_FILE. rwswapbytes will read the
input from the standard input if you use the string stdin for
INPUT_FILE; swapbytes will write the output to the standard output
if you use the string stdout for OUTPUT_FILE. rwswapbytes
knows how to read and write compressed (gzipped) files.
OPTIONS
Option names may be abbreviated if the abbreviation is unique or is an exact match for an option. A parameter to an option may be specified as --arg=param or --arg param, though the first form is required for options that take optional parameters.
One of these switches must be provided:
- --big-endian
-
Write the output-file in big-endian (network byte-order) format.
- --little-endian
-
Write the output-file in little-endian format.
- --native-endian
-
Write the output-file in this machine's native format.
- --swap-endian
-
Unconditionally swap the byte-order of the input-file.
- --help
-
Print the available options and exit.
- --version
-
Print the version number and information about how SiLK was configured, then exit the application.
These switches are optional:
- --note-add=TEXT
-
Add the specified TEXT to the header of the output file as an annotation. This switch may be repeated to add multiple annotations to a file. To view the annotations, use the rwfileinfo(1) tool.
- --note-file-add=FILENAME
-
Open FILENAME and add the contents of that file to the header of the output file as an annotation. This switch may be repeated to add multiple annotations. Currently the application makes no effort to ensure that FILENAME contains text; be careful that you do not attempt to add a SiLK data file as an annotation.
