# traffic-togif(8)

Convert network traffic report to GIF chart

## NAME

traffic-togif - Convert network traffic report to GIF chart

## SYNOPSIS

**traffic-togif** \[**-o**--output**filename**\] \[**-i**--input**filename**\] \[**-Vh**\]

## DESCRIPTION

*traffic-togif* is a filter which accepts a summary generated by  *traffic-collect(8)* on standard input (or from the file specified using the '-i' option) and writes an GIF chart to the file specified using the '-o' option.

The report consists of a chart of which hosts are active, and with whom they were communicating. Due to the potentially large number of hosts it  is recommended that you limit the number of hosts using the *[traffic-sort(8)](/traffic-sort/8.md)* tool's '-L' option in order to prevent cluttered charts.

## OPTIONS

- **-o --output filename**

  Write output to file instead of standard out. This option is mandatory.

- **-i --input filename**

  Read input from file instead of standard input.

- **-x --x-size pixels**

  Set width of resultant image

- **-y --y-size pixels**

  Set height of resultant image

- **-h --help**

  Prints usage information.

- **-V --version**

  Prints program version.
