MULTIDUMP(1)

📦 version 1.22, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the MULTIDUMP(1) era — this page is from the General Commands Manual, and it's all about multidump, lowkey a multitasking icon. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

multidump — run multiple rtpdumps simultaneously. Periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

multidump [-F format] [-t minutes] [-x bytes] basename [address]/port [...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so multidump runs multiple rtpdump(1) sessions simultaneously. For every [address]/port, one rtpdump(1) process is started accordingly. Literally one per thing. 🫶

The dumps are stored in basename.*, numbered from basename.1 increasingly — so basename.1, basename.2, and so on, you get the vibe. 🎀

The -F, -t, and -x flags, if present, are passed to every rtpdump(1) process. No gatekeeping:

  • -F format — if present, gets passed to every rtpdump(1) process. 💖
  • -t minutes — if present, gets passed to every rtpdump(1) process, and it also unlocks the waiting behavior below. ⏳
  • -x bytes — if present, gets passed to every rtpdump(1) process too. 🦋

If the -t flag is used, multidump will wait for all the rtpdump(1) processes to finish. Otherwise, multidump will need to be killed with a signal — and in that case, it kills the running processes as well.

⚠️ no -t? then it's giving “gotta signal it to stop,” and it takes the running processes down with it. not a drill, bestie. 💀
