=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<udpdump> is a extcap tool that provides an UDP receiver that listens for exported datagrams coming from
any source (like Aruba routers) and exports them in PCAP format. This provides the user two basic
functionalities: the first one is to have a listener that prevents the localhost to send back an ICMP
port-unreachable packet. The second one is to strip out the lower layers (layer 2, IP, UDP) that are useless
(are used just as export vector). The format of the exported datagrams are EXPORTED_PDU, as specified in
https://code.wireshark.org/review/gitweb?p=wireshark.git;a=blob;f=epan/exported_pdu.h;hb=refs/heads/master

=head1 EXAMPLES

To see program arguments:

    udpdump --help

To see program version:

    udpdump --version

To see interfaces:

    udpdump --extcap-interfaces

  Example output:
    interface {value=udpdump}{display=UDP Listener remote capture}

To see interface DLTs:

    udpdump --extcap-interface=udpdump --extcap-dlts

  Example output:
    dlt {number=252}{name=udpdump}{display=Exported PDUs}

To see interface configuration options:

    udpdump --extcap-interface=udpdump --extcap-config

  Example output:
    arg {number=0}{call=--port}{display=Listen port}{type=unsigned}{range=1,65535}{default=5555}{tooltip=The port the receiver listens on}

To capture:

    udpdump --extcap-interface=randpkt --fifo=/tmp/randpkt.pcapng --capture

NOTE: To stop capturing CTRL+C/kill/terminate application.
