NAME
       nfc - network file converter

SYNOPSIS
       nfc [-d] conversionop inputfile outputfile

DESCRIPTION
       The nfc command converts a tcpdump binary file to a Network General
       Sniffer binary file, or vice versa:

       -d             optionally turns on debugging.  Header information
                      from each packet in inputfile is printed.

       conversionop  indicates the conversion operation to perform:
                      tcpdumptong if you are converting a tcpdump binary
                      file to Network General Sniffer format, or
                      ngtotcpdump if you are converting a Network General
                      Sniffer file to tcpdump format.

       inputfile     is the name of the file to use for input.  This file
                      must be a tcpdump binary file (see the -w option of
                      tcpdump) if conversionop is tcpdumptong; it must be
                      a Network General Sniffer binary file if conversionop
                      is ngtotcpdump.

       outputfile    is the name of the file to be created by nfc.  If
                      conversionop is tcpdumptong, a Network General
                      Sniffer binary file is created; if conversionop is
                      ngtotcpdump, a tcpdump binary file is created.

EXAMPLES
       To create a tcpdump binary file and then to create a Network General
       Sniffer binary file from the tcpdump binary file:

        tcpdump -w tcpdump.binary
        nfc tcpdumptong tcpdump.binary ng.binary
