Description
Rastrip reads argus data from an argus-data source, strips the records based on the criteria specified on
the command line, and outputs a valid argus-stream. This is useful to reduce the size of argus data
files. Rastrip always removes argus management transactions, thus having the same effect as a 'not man'
filter expression.

Invocation
A sample invocation of rastrip(1). This call reads argus(8) data from inputfile and strips the default
dsr set but keeps MAC addresses and writes the result to outputfile:
rastrip-M+mac-rinputfile-woutputfile
This call removes only captured user data and timings and writes the result to stdout:
rastrip-M-suser-M-duser-M-time-rinputfileName
rastrip - strip argus(8) data file.
Options
Rastrip, like all ra based clients, supports a number of raoptions including filtering of input argus
records through a terminating filter expression. See ra(1) for a complete description of raoptions.
rastrip(1) specific options are:
-M[+|-]dsr
Strip specified dsr (data set record).
Supported dsrs are:
flow flow key data (proto, saddr, sport, dir, daddr, dport)
time time stamp fields (stime, ltime).
metric basic ([s|d]bytes, [s|d]pkts, [s|d]rate, [s|d]load)
agr aggregation stats (trans, avgdur, mindur, maxdur, stdev).
net network objects (tcp, esp, rtp, icmp data).
vlan VLAN tag data
mpls MPLS label data
jitter Jitter data ([s|d]jit, [s|d]intpkt)
ipattr IP attributes ([s|d]ipid, [s|d]tos, [s|d]dsb, [s|d]ttl)
suser src user captured data bytes (suser)
duser dst captured user data bytes (duser)
mac MAC addresses (smac, dmac)
icmp ICMP specific data (icmpmap, inode)
encaps Flow encapsulation type indications
In the default mode, without the -M option, rastrip removes the following default set of dsrs: encaps,
agr, vlan, mpls, mac, icmp, ipattr, jitter, suser, duser
-Mreplace
Replace the existing file with the newly striped file.
