NAME
ovs-parse-leaks - parses OVS leak checker log files SYNOPSIS
ovs-parse-leaks [binary] < log DESCRIPTION
Many Open vSwitch daemons accept a --check-leaks option that writes information about memory allocation and deallocation to a log file. ovs-parse-leaks parses log files produced by this option and prints a summary of the results. The most interesting part of the output is a list of memory blocks that were allocated but not freed, which Open vSwitch developers can use to find and fix memory leaks. The log file must be supplied on standard input. The binary that produced the output should be supplied as the sole non-option argument. For best results, the binary should have debug symbols. OPTIONS
--help Prints a usage message and exits. BUGS
The output can be hard to interpret, especially for a daemon that does not exit in normal operation. Using ovs-appctl(8) to invoke the exit command that some Open vSwitch daemons support sometimes helps with this. ovs-parse-leaks usually incorrectly reports one or more ``bad frees of not-allocated address'' errors at the beginning of output. These reflect frees of data that were allocated before the leak checker was turned on during program initialization. Open vSwitch August 2010 ovs-parse-leaks(8)

NAME
ovs-tcpundump - convert ``tcpdump -xx'' output to hex strings SYNOPSIS
ovs-tcpundump < file Common options: [-h | --help] [-V | --version] DESCRIPTION
The ovs-tcpundump program reads tcpdump -xx output on stdin, looking for hexadecimal packet data, and dumps each Ethernet as a single hexa- decimal string on stdout. This format is suitable for use with the ofproto/trace command supported by ovs-vswitchd(8) via ovs-appctl(8). At least two -x or -X options must be given, otherwise the output will omit the Ethernet header, which prevents the output from being using with ofproto/trace. OPTIONS
-h, --help Prints a brief help message to the console. -V, --version Prints version information to the console. SEE ALSO
