+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B iptraf-ng
+is an ncurses-based IP LAN monitor that generates various network statistics including TCP info, UDP counts, ICMP and OSPF information, Ethernet load info, node stats, IP checksum errors, and others.
+.PP
+If the
+.B iptraf-ng
+command is issued without any command-line options, the program comes up in interactive mode, with the various facilities accessed through the main menu.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+These options can also be supplied to the command:
+.TP
+.BI "\-i " iface
+immediately start the IP traffic monitor on the specified interface, or
+all interfaces if "\-i all" is specified
+.TP
+.B "\-g"
+immediately start the general interface statistics
+.TP
+.BI "\-d " iface
+allows you to immediately start the detailed on the indicated interface (iface)
+.TP
+.BI "\-s " iface
+allows you to immediately monitor TCP and UDP traffic on the specified interface (iface)
+.TP
+.BI "\-z " iface
+shows packet counts by size on the specified interface
+.TP
+.BI "\-l " iface
+start the LAN station monitor on the specified interface, or all LAN
+interfaces if "\-l all" is specified
+.TP
+.BI "\-t " timeout
+tells IPTraf-ng to run the specified facility for only
+.I timeout
+minutes. This option is used only with one of the above parameters.
+.TP
+.B "\-B"
+redirect standard output to /dev/null, closes standard input, and forks
+the program into the background. Can be used only with one of the
+facility invocation parameters above. Send the backgrounded process a
+USR2 signal to terminate.
+.TP
+.B "\-L logfile"
+allows you to specify an alternate log file name. The default log file
+name is based on either the interface selected (detailed interface
+statistics, TCP/UDP service statistics, packet size breakdown), or the
+instance of the facility (IP traffic monitor, LAN station monitor). If a
+path is not specified, the log file is placed in
+.B /var/log/iptraf-ng
+.TP
+.B "\-f"
+clears all locks and counters, causing this instance of IPTraf-ng to think
+it's the first one running. This should only be used to recover from
+an abnormal termination or system crash.
+.TP
+.B "\-h"
+shows a command summary
+.SH SIGNALS
+
+ SIGUSR1 - rotates log files while program is running
+ SIGUSR2 - terminates an IPTraf-ng process running in the background.
+

+ /var/log/iptraf-ng/*.log - log file
