\subsection {The {\var convert} Entry}

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 {\var convert} command can be used to save
traces for only a few hosts.  The format of the {\var convert} entry
is.

\begin{verbatim}
convert <var-name> in <obj-name> to <var-name>;
\end{verbatim}

An example illustrates its use.

\begin{verbatim}
    convert tcpTrace2 in h1n20 to tcpTrace1;
\end{verbatim}

\noindent
This example specifies that the value of {\var tcpTrace1} should be
used in place of the value of {\var tcpTrace2}, wherever the variable
{\var tcpTrace2} is encountered in the specified object.
