ipsetdot [options] <input filename>

Creates a GraphViz file showing the BDD structure of an IP set.

<input filename>
To read from stdin, use "-" as the
filename.

--output=<filename>, -o <filename>

Writes the GraphViz representation of the binary IP set file to <filename>. If this option isn't given, then the contents will be written to standard output.

--verbose, -v

If
this option is not given, the only output will be any error messages that occur.

Internally, IP sets are represented by a binary-decision diagram (BDD). The ipsetdot program can be used to produce a GraphViz file that describes the internal BDD structure for an IP set. The GraphViz representation can then be passed in to GraphViz's "dot" program, for instance, to generate an image of the BDD's graph structure.
