-.TH ovs\-tcpdump 8 "@VERSION@" "Open vSwitch" "Open vSwitch Manual"
-.
-.SH NAME
-ovs\-tcpdump \- Dump traffic from an Open vSwitch port using \fBtcpdump\fR.
-.
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBovs\-tcpdump\fR \fB\-i\fR \fIport\fR \fBtcpdump options...\fR
-.
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBovs\-tcpdump\fR creates switch mirror ports in the \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR
-daemon and executes \fBtcpdump\fR to listen against those ports. When the
-\fBtcpdump\fR instance exits, it then cleans up the mirror port it created.
-.PP
-\fBovs\-tcpdump\fR will not allow multiple mirrors for the same port. It has
-some logic to parse the current configuration and prevent duplicate mirrors.
-.PP
-The \fB\-i\fR option may not appear multiple times.
-.PP
-It is important to note that under \fBLinux\fR based kernels, tap devices do
-not receive packets unless the specific tuntap device has been opened by an
-application. This requires \fBCAP_NET_ADMIN\fR privileges, so the
-\fBovs-tcpdump\fR command must be run as a user with such permissions (this
-is usually a super-user).
-.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.so lib/common.man
-.
-.IP "\fB\-\-db\-sock\fR"
-The Open vSwitch database socket connection string. The default is
-\fIunix:@RUNDIR@/db.sock\fR
-.
-.IP "\fB\-\-dump\-cmd\fR"
-The command to run instead of \fBtcpdump\fR.
-.
-.IP "\fB\-i\fR"
-.IQ "\fB\-\-interface\fR"
-The interface for which a mirror port should be created, and packets should
-be dumped.
-.
-.IP "\fB\-\-mirror\-to\fR"
-The name of the interface which should be the destination of the mirrored
-packets. The default is miINTERFACE
-.
-.IP "\fB\-\-span\fR"
-If specified, mirror all ports (optional).
