NAME
       atopconvert - convert raw log file to newer version

SYNOPSIS
       atopconvert [-t version ] rawinput [rawoutput]

DESCRIPTION
       The  program  atopconvert can be used to convert the layout of a raw log file to a newer version.  The only mandatory
       argument is the name of the raw input file. When no output file is specified on the command  line,  atopconvert	only
       shows  the version of the input file.  When the name of an output file is specified, the input file will be converted
       to the output file, or just copied when the input file already has the required version.

       The program atopconvert converts the input file (by default) to the format used by the newest  version  of  atop	 and
       writes  to  the	output	file. With the -t option, an alternative target version can be specified for the output file
       (instead of the newest version) in the format major.minor (example: 2.3).
       After the conversion is finished, the output file can be read by the newer version of atop or can even be extended by
       that atop version.

NOTES
       The raw input file should be at least of version 2.0!

       Files can only be upgraded to higher version, but not downgraded.
