+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+**dlt-receive** \[**-h**\] \[**-a**\] \[**-x**\] \[**-m**\] \[**-s**\] \[**-o** filename\] \[**-c** limit\] \[**-v**\] \[**-y**\] \[**-b** baudrate\] \[**-e** ecuid\] \[**-f** filterfile\] hostname/serial_device_name
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Receive DLT messages from DLT daemon and print or store the messages.
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+-h
+
+: Display a short help text.
+
+-a
+
+: Print DLT file; payload as ASCII.
+
+-x
+
+:   Print DLT file; payload as hex.
+
+-m
+
+:   Print DLT file; payload as hex and ASCII.
+
+-s
+
+:   Print DLT file; only headers.
+
+-o
+
+:   Output messages in new DLT file.
+
+-c
+
+:   Set limit when storing messages in file. When limit is reached, a new file is opened. Use K,M,G as suffix to specify kilo-, mega-, giga-bytes respectively, e.g. 1M for one megabyte (Default: unlimited).
+
+-v
+
+:   Verbose mode.
+
+-y
+
+:   Serial device mode.
+
+-b
+
+:   Serial device baudrate (Default: 115200).
+
+-e
+
+:   Set ECU ID (Default: RECV).
+
+-f
+
+:   Enable filtering of messages.
+
+# EXAMPLES
+
+Print received message headers received from a dlt-daemon running on localhost::
+    **dlt-receive -s localhost**
+
+Print received message headers received from a serila interface::
+    **dlt-receive -s -y /dev/ttySO**
+
+Store received message headers from a dlt-daemon to a log file called log.dlt and filter them for e.g. Application ID ABCD and Context ID EFGH (Write:ABCD EFGH as single line to a file called filter.txt)::
+    **dlt-receive -s -o log.dlt -f filter.txt localhost**
+
+Store incoming messages in file(s) and restrict file sizes to 1 megabyte. If limit is reached, log.dlt will be renamed into log.0.dlt, log.1.dlt, ... No files will be overwritten in this mode::
+    **dlt-receive -o log.dlt -c 1M localhost**
+
+# EXIT STATUS
+
+Non zero is returned in case of failure.
+
+# NOTES
+
+Be aware that dlt-receive will never delete any files. Instead, it creates a new file.
