= Supported Formats =
Libtrace supports the following trace capture and storage formats:

=== Live Capture ===
 * Endace DAG cards
 * pcap interfaces
 * Native Linux PF_PACKET interfaces
 * WAG cards (internal WAND project)

=== Trace Formats ===
 * pcap traces
 * ERF (Extensible Record Format) traces
 * Legacy DAG formats, such as those used in various Auckland tracesets
 * WTF (WAG Trace Format) traces

== Format URIs ==
Libtrace input and output sources are specified using URIs which describe both the format and location of the trace, interface or device in question.
Below is a definitive list of URIs for all the trace formats supported by libtrace.

 '''Live pcap interface'''::
  pcap:<interface>
 '''pcap trace file'''::
  pcapfile:<filename>
 '''Live DAG capture'''::
  dag:<DAG device location e.g. /dev/dag0>
 '''ERF trace file'''::
  erf:<filename>
 '''Native Linux interface'''::
  int:<interface>
 '''Legacy ATM'''::
  legacyatm:<filename>
 '''Legacy Ethernet'''::
  legacyeth:<filename>
 '''Legacy Packet over Sonet'''::
  legacypos:<filename>
 '''Live WAG capture'''::
  wag:<WAG device location e.g. /dev/wag>
 '''WTF trace file'''::
  wtf:<filename>
 
URI's that include a filename usually accept '-' to represent stdin, e.g. erf:- will read ERF records from stdin.
