[We're gearing up for the official 6.0.0 beta release in a week. Most
of the work is done, but it includes code that Brian wants, so I'll
jump the gun a litter here. In the meantime, you can get the current
6.0.0 beta code at

Hi Brian, thanks for the comments!
> How about an option to add a prefix to the output file names?
That's a great idea. The beta version supports:
--output_dir="STR" directory where all output files are placed (default: '<NULL>')
--output_prefix="STR" prefix all output files with this string (default: '<NULL>')
> Also, an option to place the prefix as a title line in the

Hmmm... not exactly sure what you want there. I added:
--xplot_title_prefix="STR" prefix to place in the titles of all xplot files (default: '<NULL>')
Please take a look at what the does and then let me know if you have a
better suggestion.

Seems useful, but a little complicated. Right now, the contents of
that file are just turned into argv[] format and run through the
argument checking code (same with the TCPTRACEOPTS environment variable).
My first thought is that the amount of text that you'd have to type to
enable the options would probably be more than the commands
themselves, consider:
tcptrace --optname=complex file.dmp
I'd be tempted to just do it with the envariable, that's what I do.
export TCPTRACEOPTS=-n -t -G -r
tcptrace
export TCPTRACEOPTS=-l
tcptrace
If you have a concrete suggestion, though, I'd be interested in
talking about it further. Perhaps you're thinking about something
more complex than I am.
Thanks as always for the great suggestions and please let me know what
you think of my solutions!
Shawn
