This command is useful when using a program to automate the process of creating large internetworks. All hosts can be given the same arguments, and then the convert command can be used to save traces for only a few hosts. The format of the convert entry is.
convert <var-name> in <obj-name> to <var-name>;
An example illustrates its use.
convert tcpTrace2 in h1n20 to tcpTrace1;
This example specifies that the value of tcpTrace1 should be used in place of the value of tcpTrace2, wherever the variable tcpTrace2 is encountered in the specified object.
