DESCRIPTION         top

       dpauxmon is an extcap tool that can capture DisplayPort AUX
       channel data from linux kernel drivers using the generic netlink
       interface.

       Supported interfaces:

        1. dpauxmon

OPTIONS         top

       --help
           Print program arguments.

       --version
           Print program version.

       --extcap-interfaces
           List available interfaces.

       --extcap-interface=<interface>
           Use specified interfaces.

       --extcap-dlts
           List DLTs of specified interface.

       --extcap-config
           List configuration options of specified interface.

       --capture
           Start capturing from specified interface and save it in place
           specified by --fifo.

       --fifo=<path to file or pipe>
           Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe.

       --interface_idt=<interface id>
           The interface for capture.

EXAMPLES         top

       To see program arguments:

           dpauxmon --help

       To see program version:

           dpauxmon --version

       To see interfaces:

           dpauxmon --extcap-interfaces

       Only one interface (dpauxmon) is supported.

       Example output

           interface {value=dpauxmon}{display=DisplayPort AUX channel capture}

       To see interface DLTs:

           dpauxmon --extcap-interface=dpauxmon --extcap-dlts

       Example output

           dlt {number=275}{name=dpauxmon}{display=DisplayPort AUX channel monitor DLT}

       To see interface configuration options:

           dpauxmon --extcap-interface=dpauxmon --extcap-config

       Example output

           dpauxmon --extcap-interface=dpauxmon --extcap-config
           arg {number=0}{call=--interface_id}{display=Interface Id}
               {type=unsigned}{tooltip=The Interface Id}
               {required=true}

       To capture:

           dpauxmon --extcap-interface=dpauxmon --fifo=/tmp/dpauxmon.pcap --capture --interface_id 0
