|---|
| 10 | tracemerge merges two or more traces together, keeping packets in order. |

| 17 | .BI \-\^\-set-interface [interfaces_per_input ] |
|---|
| 18 | set the interface ("direction") for each input to be unique. The optional |
|---|
| 19 | inputs_per_interface parameter is how many inputs to reserve for each trace, |
|---|
| 20 | and defaults to 1. Thus if you have two traces with two interfaces (in/out), |
|---|
| 21 | and interfaces_per_input is set to 2, then tracemerge will have the first |
|---|
| 22 | interface of the first input will be 0, the second interface of the first input |
|---|
| 23 | will be 1, the first interface of the second input will be 2, and the second |
|---|
| 24 | interface of the second input will be 3. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | Beware that erf only supports 4 interfaces, and pcap only supports 2. |
|---|
| 27 | Limitations apply based on the input trace format (not the output trace format) |
