Once the libpcap development files are installed, the libpcap based PMD
can be enabled by setting CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_PCAP=y and recompiling the DPDK.
+ * The ``dpdk-pdump`` tool runs as a DPDK secondary process. It exits when
+ the primary application exits.
+
Running the Application
-----------------------
.. code-block:: console
./build/app/dpdk-pdump --
+ [--multi]
--pdump '(port=<port id> | device_id=<pci id or vdev name>),
(queue=<queue_id>),
(rx-dev=<iface or pcap file> |
[mbuf-size=<mbuf data size>],
[total-num-mbufs=<number of mbufs>]'
+The ``--multi`` command line option is optional argument. If passed, capture
+will be running on unique cores for all ``--pdump`` options. If ignored,
+capture will be running on single core for all ``--pdump`` options.
+
The ``--pdump`` command line option is mandatory and it takes various sub arguments which are described in
below section.
.. code-block:: console
- $ sudo ./build/app/dpdk-pdump -- --pdump 'port=0,queue=*,rx-dev=/tmp/rx.pcap'
+ $ sudo ./build/app/dpdk-pdump -l 3 -- --pdump 'port=0,queue=*,rx-dev=/tmp/rx.pcap'
+ $ sudo ./build/app/dpdk-pdump -l 3,4,5 -- --multi --pdump 'port=0,queue=*,rx-dev=/tmp/rx-1.pcap' --pdump 'port=1,queue=*,rx-dev=/tmp/rx-2.pcap'
