SYNOPSIS¶

flow-split [-gGhn] [-b big|little] [-C comment] [-d debug_level] [-N nflows] [-o outfile_basename] [-T nseconds] [-z z_level]

DESCRIPTION¶

The flow-split utility will split a flow file into smaller files based on the the number of flows or the ammount of time that has passed.

OPTIONS¶

-z z_level

Configure compression level to z_level. 0 is disabled (no compression), 9 is highest compression.

EXAMPLES¶

Create 1 minute flow files from the flow archive in /flows/krc4. Store the results in /flows/krc4.split
