NAME
       etwdump - Provide an interface to read Event Tracing for Windows (ETW)

SYNOPSIS
       etwdump [ --help ] [ --version ] [ --extcap-interfaces ]
       [ --extcap-dlts ] [ --extcap-interface=<interface> ]
       [ --extcap-config ] [ --capture ] [ --fifo=<path to file or pipe> ]
       [ --iue=<Should undecidable events be included> ]
       [ --etlfile=<etl file> ] [ --params=<filter parameters> ]

DESCRIPTION
       etwdump is a extcap tool that provides access to a event trace log file
       or an event trace live session.  It is only used to display event trace
       on Windows that includes readable text message and different protocols
       (like MBIM and IP packets).

           specified by --fifo.

       --fifo=<path to file or pipe>
           Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe.

       --iue=<Should undecidable events be included>
           Choose if the undecidable event is included.

       --etlfile=<Etl file>
           Select etl file to display in Wireshark.

       --params=<filter parameters>
           Input providers, keyword and level filters for the etl file and
           live session.

EXAMPLES
       To see program arguments:

           etwdump --help

       To see program version:

           etwdump --version

       To see interfaces:

           etwdump --extcap-interfaces

       Example output

           interface {value=etwdump}{display=ETW reader}

       To see interface DLTs:

           etwdump --extcap-interface=etwdump --extcap-dlts

       Example output

           dlt {number=1}{name=etwdump}{display=DLT_ETW}

       To see interface configuration options:

           etwdump --extcap-interface=etwdump --extcap-config

       Example output

           arg {number=0}{call=--etlfile}{display=etl file}{type=fileselect}{tooltip=Select etl file to display in Wireshark}{group=Capture}
           arg {number=1}{call=--params}{display=filter parmeters}{type=string}{tooltip=Input providers, keyword and level filters for the etl file and live session}{group=Capture}
           arg {number=2}{call=--iue}{display=Should undecidable events be included}{type=boolflag}{default=false}{tooltip=Choose if the undecidable event is included}{group=Capture}

       To capture:

           etwdump --extcap-interface etwdump --fifo=/tmp/etw.pcapng --capture --params "--p=Microsoft-Windows-Wmbclass-Opn --p=Microsoft-Windows-wmbclass --k=0xff --l=4"
           etwdump --extcap-interface etwdump --fifo=/tmp/etw.pcapng --capture --params "--p=Microsoft-Windows-Wmbclass-Opn --p=Microsoft-Windows-NDIS-PacketCapture"

           Note

           To stop capturing CTRL+C/kill/terminate the application.
