expand iptraf for new log format output

Hallo,

I want to ask, how it is possible that I can change log format output of traffic which was transfered.

Well I would rewrite iptraf to output new format, but how can I implement it correctly that it can provide in a offical release?

The reason I want to do that is that another programme of me should read and analyse this data for summary the traffic, because of this I need a special log file format which uses a Tabulator as seperator and every time the same package size format in kB and even a special time stamp format and other format too like from whom was send the package, for example.

Could this be possible that it could realeased as a new version when development is finised?

best regards

ano
