NAME

       iptraf - Interactive Colorful IP LAN Monitor

SYNOPSIS

       iptraf { [ -f ] [ -q ] [ -u ] [ { -i iface | -g | -d iface | -s iface | -z iface | -l iface } [ -t timeout ] [ -B [ -L logfile ] ] ] | [ -h
       ] }

DESCRIPTION

       iptraf is an ncurses-based IP LAN monitor that generates various network statistics including TCP info, UDP counts, ICMP and OSPF  informa-
       tion, Ethernet load info, node stats, IP checksum errors, and others.

       If  the	iptraf	command  is issued without any command-line options, the program comes up in interactive mode, with the various facilities
       accessed through the main menu.

OPTIONS

       These options can also be supplied to the command:

       -i iface
	      immediately start the IP traffic monitor on the specified interface, or all interfaces if "-i all" is specified

       -g     immediately start the general interface statistics

       -d iface
	      allows you to immediately start the detailed on the indicated interface (iface)

       -s iface
	      allows you to immediately monitor TCP and UDP traffic on the specified interface (iface)

       -z iface
	      shows packet counts by size on the specified interface

       -l iface
	      start the LAN station monitor on the specified interface, or all LAN interfaces if "-l all" is specified

       -t timeout
	      tells IPTraf to run the specified facility for only timeout minutes.  This option is used only with one of the above parameters.

       -B     redirect standard output to /dev/null, closes standard input, and forks the program into the background.	Can be used only with  one
	      of the facility invocation parameters above.  Send the backgrounded process a USR2 signal to terminate.

       -L logfile
	      allows  you  to  specify	an alternate log file name.  The default log file name is based on either the interface selected (detailed
	      interface statistics, TCP/UDP service statistics, packet size breakdown), or the instance of the facility (IP traffic  monitor,  LAN
	      station monitor).  If a path is not specified, the log file is placed in /var/log/iptraf

       -f     clears  all  locks  and  counters, causing this instance of IPTraf to think it's the first one running.  This should only be used to
	      recover from an abnormal termination or system crash.

       -u     allow use of unsupported interfaces as ethernet devices.	This is needed if you changed the name of an interface (ex:  ip  link  set
	      eth0 name foo0)

       -q     no longer needed, maintained only for compatibility.

       -h     shows a command summary

SIGNALS

	SIGUSR1 - rotates log files while program is running
	SIGUSR2 - terminates an IPTraf process running in the background.

FILES

	/var/log/iptraf/*.log - log file
	/var/lib/iptraf/* - important IPTraf data files

NAME

       Sys::Virt::Interface - Represent & manage a libvirt host network interface

DESCRIPTION

       The "Sys::Virt::Interface" module represents a host network interface allowing configuration of IP addresses, bonding, vlans and bridges.

METHODS

       my $name = $iface->get_name()
	   Returns a string with a locally unique name of the network

       $iface->is_active()
	   Returns a true value if the interface is currently running

       my $name = $iface->get_mac()
	   Returns a string with the hardware MAC address of the interface

       my $xml = $iface->get_xml_description()
	   Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the network's configuration

       $iface->create()
	   Start a network whose configuration was previously defined using the "define_network" method in Sys::Virt.

       $iface->undefine()
	   Remove the configuration associated with a network previously defined with the "define_network" method in Sys::Virt. If the network is
	   running, you probably want to use the "shutdown" or "destroy" methods instead.

       $iface->destroy()
	   Immediately terminate the machine, and remove it from the virtual machine monitor. The $iface handle is invalid after this call
	   completes and should not be used again.

CONSTANTS

CONSTANTS

       This section documents constants that are used with various APIs described above

   LIST FILTERING
       The following constants are used to filter object lists

       Sys::Virt::Interface::LIST_ACTIVE
	   Include interfaces that are active

       Sys::Virt::Interface::LIST_INACTIVE
	   Include interfaces that are not active

   XML CONSTANTS
       The following constants are used when querying XML

       Sys::Virt::Interface::XML_INACTIVE
	   Request the inactive XML, instead of the current possibly live config.
