rwswapbytes(1)                  SiLK Tool Suite                 rwswapbytes(1)

NAME
       rwswapbytes - Convert the byte order of a SiLK Flow file

SYNOPSIS
         rwswapbytes
               {--big-endian|--little-endian|--native-endian|--swap-endian}
               [--note-add=TEXT] [--note-file-add=FILE]
               INPUT_FILE OUTPUT_FILE

         rwswapbytes --help

         rwswapbytes --version

DESCRIPTION
       Change the byte order of INPUT_FILE as specified by the option and
       write the result to OUTPUT_FILE.  rwswapbytes will read the input from
       the standard input if you use the string "stdin" for INPUT_FILE;
       swapbytes will write the output to the standard output if you use the
       string "stdout" for OUTPUT_FILE.  rwswapbytes knows how to read and
       write compressed (ggzziipp(1)ped) files.

OPTIONS
       Option names may be abbreviated if the abbreviation is unique or is an
       exact match for an option.  A parameter to an option may be specified
       as --arg=param or --arg param, though the first form is required for
       options that take optional parameters.

       One of these switches must be provided:

       --big-endian
           Write the output-file in big-endian (network byte-order) format.

       --little-endian
           Write the output-file in little-endian format.

       --native-endian
           Write the output-file in this machine's native format.

       --swap-endian
           Unconditionally swap the byte-order of the input-file.

       --help
           Print the available options and exit.

       --version
           Print the version number and information about how SiLK was
           configured, then exit the application.

       These switches are optional:

       --note-add=TEXT
           Add the specified TEXT to the header of the output file as an
           annotation.  This switch may be repeated to add multiple
           annotations to a file.  To view the annotations, use the
           rrwwffiilleeiinnffoo(1) tool.

       --note-file-add=FILENAME
           Open FILENAME and add the contents of that file to the header of
           the output file as an annotation.    This switch may be repeated to
           add multiple annotations.  Currently the application makes no
           effort to ensure that FILENAME contains text; be careful that you
           do not attempt to add a SiLK data file as an annotation.
