These flows can be reported using NetFlow version 1, 5 \nor 9 datagrams. softflowd is fully IPv6 capable: it can track IPv6 flows and \nexport to IPv6 hosts.\n\nMore details about softflowd's function and usage may be found in the\nsoftflowd wiki in following URLs:\nhttps://github.com/irino/softflowd/wiki/softflowd\nhttps://github.com/irino/softflowd/wiki/softflowctl\n\nPDF manpages can be built with:\n\nman -t ./softflowd.8 | ps2pdf - softflowd.pdf\nman -t ./softflowctl.8 | ps2pdf - softflowctl.pdf\n\nHTML manpages can be built with:\n\ngroff -mandoc -Thtml softflowd.8 \u003e softflowd.html\ngroff -mandoc -Thtml softflowctl.8 \u003e softflowctl.html\n\nMarkdown manpages (which are published in wiki pages) can be built\nfrom above HtML manpages:\n\npandoc -s softflowd.html -o softflowd.md\npandoc -s softflowctl.html -o softflowctl.md\n\nYou can view those pages prior to installation using:\n\n/usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc softflowd.8 | less\n/usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc softflowctl.8 | less\n\nIf you are in need of a NetFlow collector, you may be interested in \nsoftflowd's companion project \"flowd\" (http://www.mindrot.org/projects/flowd/). \nflowd is a NetFlow collector that is maintained in parallel with\nsoftflowd and includes a few handy features, such as the ability\nto filter flows it receives as well as Perl and Python APIs to its\nstorage format. NB. You don't have to use flowd: any NetFlow compatible \ncollector should work with softflowd. An example Perl collector is included \nfor testing purposes as collector.pl, but it doesn't yet support NetFlow v.9\n\nInstalling\n----------\n\nBuilding softflowd should be as simple as typing:\n\nautoreconf -if # instead of \"aclocal \u0026\u0026 autoheader \u0026\u0026 automake --add-missing \u0026\u0026 autoconf\"\n./configure\nmake\nmake install\n\nUnfortunately some systems like to make life complicated. Things work\nfine on the systems that I develop and test on (OpenBSD and Linux).\nThere is peliminary support for Solaris 9 (i.e. it compiled), but no\ntesting on this platform has been performed.\n\nLicensing\n---------\n\nSoftflowd is licensed under a two-term BSD license (see the source\nfiles for details).
