NAME

       arp2ethers - convert arpwatch address database to ethers file format

SYNOPSIS

       arp2ethers [ arp.dat file ]

DESCRIPTION

       arp2ethers  converts  the  file  /var/lib/arpwatch/arp.dat (or the file
       specified on  the  command  line)  into  ethers(5)  format  on  stdout.
       Usually   arp.dat   is   an  ethernet/ip  database  file  generated  by
       arpwatch(8).  The arpwatch  daemon  in  Debian  will  create  different
       arp.dat  depending  on its configuration. All of them will be available
       at /var/lib/arpwatch/.

FILES

       /var/lib/arpwatch - default directory for arp.dat
       arp.dat - ethernet/ip address database
