NAME
     pppdump - convert PPP record file to readable format

SYNOPSIS
     pppdump [ -h | -p [ -d ]] [ -r ] [ -m mru ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     The pppdump utility converts the  files  written  using  the
     record  option of pppd into a human-readable format.  If one
     or more filenames are specified, pppdump will read  each  in
     turn;  otherwise  it  will read its standard input.  In each
     case the result is written to standard output.

     The options are as follows:

     -h   Prints the bytes sent and received in hexadecimal.   If
          neither this option nor the -p option is specified, the
          bytes are printed as the  characters  themselves,  with
          non-printing and non-ASCII characters printed as escape
          sequences.

     -p   Collects the bytes sent and received into PPP  packets,
          interpreting  the async HDLC framing and escape charac-
          ters 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
          `.').

     -d   With the -p  option,  this  option  causes  pppdump  to
          decompress  packets which have been compressed with the
          BSD-Compress or Deflate methods.

     -r   Reverses the direction indicators, so  that  `sent'  is
          printed  for  bytes  or packets received, and `rcvd' is
          printed for bytes or packets sent.

     -m mru
          Use mru as the MRU  (maximum  receive  unit)  for  both
          directions  of  the  link when checking for over-length
          PPP packets (with the -p option).
