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.
