+.SH NAME
+log2pcap \- Extract network traces from Samba log files
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+
+.nf
+\fBlog2pcap\fR [-h] [-q] [logfile] [pcap_file]
+.fi
+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
+.PP
+This tool is part of the \fBSamba\fR(7) suite\&.
+
+.PP
+\fBlog2pcap\fR reads in a samba log file and generates a pcap file (readable by most sniffers, such as ethereal or tcpdump) based on the packet dumps in the log file\&.
+
+.PP
+The log file must have a \fIlog level\fR of at least \fB5\fR to get the SMB header/parameters right, \fB10\fR to get the first 512 data bytes of the packet and \fB50\fR to get the whole packet\&.
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+
+.TP
+-h
+If this parameter is specified the output file will be a hex dump, in a format that is readable by the text2pcap utility\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-q
+Be quiet\&. No warning messages about missing or incomplete data will be given\&.
+
+
+.TP
+logfile
+Samba log file\&. log2pcap will try to read the log from stdin if the log file is not specified\&.
+
+
+.TP
+pcap_file
+Name of the output file to write the pcap (or hexdump) data to\&. If this argument is not specified, output data will be written to stdout\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-h|--help
+Print a summary of command line options\&.
+
+
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+
+.PP
+Extract all network traffic from all samba log files:
+
+.PP
+
+.nf
+
+ $ cat /var/log/* | log2pcap > trace\&.pcap
+ .fi
+
+
+.PP
+Convert to pcap using text2pcap:
+
+.PP
+
+.nf
+
+ $ log2pcap -h samba\&.log | text2pcap -T 139,139 - trace\&.pcap
+ .fi
+
+
+.SH "VERSION"
+
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.
+
+.SH "BUGS"
+
+.PP
+Only SMB data is extracted from the samba logs, no LDAP, NetBIOS lookup or other data\&.
+
+.PP
+The generated TCP and IP headers don't contain a valid checksum\&.

+
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+
+.PP
+The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
+
+.PP
+This manpage was written by Jelmer Vernooij\&.
