Streams can be SI, PES or TS. Basically you can describe +dvbsnoop as a "swiss army knife" analyzing program for DVB, MHP, DSM-CC +or MPEG - similar to TCP network sniffer programs like the old and famous +snoop on Sun Solaris or tcpdump on Linux (which is in fact a kind of +a clone of SunOS 'snoop'). You may also analyze offline mpeg streams, +e.g. stored on DVD or mpeg2 movie files. + +dvbsnoop is a command line based program. It's text output can be used +to for postprocessing via scripts or graphical analysis software like +MRTG or gnu-plot. -- cgit v1.2.3
