tethereal [ -a capture autostop condition ] ... [ -b number of ring
buffer files [:duration] ] [ -c count ] [ -d <layer
type==<selector>,<decode-as protocol> ]> [ -D ] [ -f capture filter
expression ] [ -F file format ] [ -h ] [ -i interface ] [ -l ] [ -L ]
[ -n ] [ -N resolving flags ] [ -o preference setting ] ... [ -p ] [
-q ] [ -r infile ] [ -R display filter expression ] [ -s snaplen ] [
-S ] [ -t time stamp format ] [ -T pdml|ps|text ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -w
savefile ] [ -x ] [ -y link type ] [ -z statistics-string ] [ filter
expression ]
