iptotal reads configuration data from /etc/iptotal.conf (or the file specified with -c on the command line). The file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line. Lines starting with '#' and empty lines are interpreted as comments.
The possible keywords and their meanings are as follows (note that keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive):
debug <level>
Debug level: 0 - no debuging; 1 - summary; 3 - all packets captured.
The default is 0.
interface <interface>
Interface iptotal is to monitor. The default is eth0.
filter <filterstr>
Use pcap filters (see tcpdump).
fork <choice>
"no" to run in foreground, "yes" in background. The default is "no".
maskbits <maskbits>
Set number of network mask bits (1-32) for subnet traffic aggregation.
Default is 24 (255.255.255.0).
report <seconds>
Reporting period - number of seconds, default 300.
FILES
