TRACE-CMD-LISTEN(1)
==================
NAME
----
trace-cmd-listen - listen for incoming connection to record tracing.
SYNOPSIS
--------
*trace-cmd listen* -p 'port' ['OPTIONS']
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The trace-cmd(1) listen sets up a port to listen to waiting for connections
from other hosts that run 'trace-cmd-record(1)' with the *-N* option. When a
connection is made, and the remote host sends data, it will create a file
called 'trace.HOST:PORT.dat'. Where HOST is the name of the remote host, and
PORT is the port that the remote host used to connect with.
OPTIONS
-------
*-p* 'port'::
This option will specify the port to listen to.
*-D*::
This options causes trace-cmd listen to go into a daemon mode and run in
the background.
*-d* 'dir'::
This option specifies a directory to write the data files into.
*-o* 'filename'::
This option overrides the default 'trace' in the 'trace.HOST:PORT.dat' that
is created when a remote host connects.
*-l* 'filename'::
This option writes the output messages to a log file instead of standard output.
