DESCRIPTION

       TShark is a network protocol analyzer.  It lets you capture packet data from a live
       network, or read packets from a previously saved capture file, either printing a decoded
       form of those packets to the standard output or writing the packets to a file.  TShark's
       native capture file format is pcapng format, which is also the format used by wireshark
       and various other tools.

       Without any options set, TShark will work much like tcpdump.  It will use the pcap library
       to capture traffic from the first available network interface and displays a summary line
       on the standard output for each received packet.

       When run with the -r option, specifying a capture file from which to read, TShark will
       again work much like tcpdump, reading packets from the file and displaying a summary line
       on the standard output for each packet read.  TShark is able to detect, read and write the
       same capture files that are supported by Wireshark.  The input file doesn't need a
       specific filename extension; the file format and an optional gzip compression will be
       automatically detected.  Near the beginning of the DESCRIPTION section of wireshark(1) or
       <https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/wireshark.html> is a detailed description of the
       way Wireshark handles this, which is the same way Tshark handles this.

       Compressed file support uses (and therefore requires) the zlib library.  If the zlib
       library is not present when compiling TShark, it will be possible to compile it, but the
       resulting program will be unable to read compressed files.

       When displaying packets on the standard output, TShark writes, by default, a summary line
       containing the fields specified by the preferences file (which are also the fields
       displayed in the packet list pane in Wireshark), although if it's writing packets as it
       captures them, rather than writing packets from a saved capture file, it won't show the
       "frame number" field.  If the -V option is specified, it instead writes a view of the
       details of the packet, showing all the fields of all protocols in the packet.  If the -O
       option is specified, it will only show the full details for the protocols specified, and
       show only the top-level detail line for all other protocols.  Use the output of "tshark -G
       protocols" to find the abbreviations of the protocols you can specify.  If the -P option
       is specified with either the -V or -O options, both the summary line for the entire packet
       and the details will be displayed.

       Packet capturing is performed with the pcap library.  That library supports specifying a
       filter expression; packets that don't match that filter are discarded.  The -f option is
       used to specify a capture filter.  The syntax of a capture filter is defined by the pcap
       library; this syntax is different from the read filter syntax described below, and the
       filtering mechanism is limited in its abilities.

       Read filters in TShark, which allow you to select which packets are to be decoded or
       written to a file, are very powerful; more fields are filterable in TShark than in other
       protocol analyzers, and the syntax you can use to create your filters is richer.  As
       TShark progresses, expect more and more protocol fields to be allowed in read filters.
       Read filters use the same syntax as display and color filters in Wireshark; a read filter
       is specified with the -R option.

       Read filters can be specified when capturing or when reading from a capture file.  Note
       that that capture filters are much more efficient than read filters, and it may be more
       difficult for TShark to keep up with a busy network if a read filter is specified for a
       live capture, so you might be more likely to lose packets if you're using a read filter.

       A capture or read filter can either be specified with the -f or -R option, respectively,
       in which case the entire filter expression must be specified as a single argument (which
       means that if it contains spaces, it must be quoted), or can be specified with command-
       line arguments after the option arguments, in which case all the arguments after the
       filter arguments are treated as a filter expression.  If the filter is specified with
       command-line arguments after the option arguments, it's a capture filter if a capture is
       being done (i.e., if no -r option was specified) and a read filter if a capture file is
       being read (i.e., if a -r option was specified).

       If the -w option is specified when capturing packets or reading from a capture file,
       TShark does not display packets on the standard output.  Instead, it writes the packets to
       a capture file with the name specified by the -w option.

       If you want to write the decoded form of packets to a file, run TShark without the -w
       option, and redirect its standard output to the file (do not use the -w option).

       If you want the packets to be displayed to the standard output and also saved to a file,
       specify the -P option in addition to the -w option to have the summary line displayed,
       specify the -V option in addition to the -w option to have the details of the packet
       displayed, and specify the -O option, with a list of protocols, to have the full details
       of the specified protocols and the top-level detail line for all other protocols to be
       displayed.  If the -P option is used together with the -V or -O option, the summary line
       will be displayed along with the detail lines.

       When writing packets to a file, TShark, by default, writes the file in pcapng format, and
       writes all of the packets it sees to the output file.  The -F option can be used to
       specify the format in which to write the file.  This list of available file formats is
       displayed by the -F option without a value.  However, you can't specify a file format for
       a live capture.

       When capturing packets, TShark writes to the standard error an initial line listing the
       interfaces from which packets are being captured and, if packet information isn't being
       displayed to the terminal, writes a continuous count of packets captured to the standard
       output.  If the -q option is specified, neither the continuous count nor the packet
       information will be displayed; instead, at the end of the capture, a count of packets
       captured will be displayed.  If the -Q option is specified, neither the initial line, nor
       the packet information, nor any packet counts will be displayed.  If the -q or -Q option
       is used, the -P, -V, or -O option can be used to cause the corresponding output to be
       displayed even though other output is suppressed.

       When reading packets, the -q and -Q option will suppress the display of the packet summary
       or details; this would be used if -z options are specified in order to display statistics,
       so that only the statistics, not the packet information, is displayed.

       The -G option is a special mode that simply causes Tshark to dump one of several types of
       internal glossaries and then exit.

OPTIONS

       -2  Perform a two-pass analysis. This causes tshark to buffer output until the entire
           first pass is done, but allows it to fill in fields that require future knowledge,
           such as 'response in frame #' fields. Also permits reassembly frame dependencies to be
           calculated correctly.

       -a  <capture autostop condition>
           Specify a criterion that specifies when TShark is to stop writing to a capture file.
           The criterion is of the form test:value, where test is one of:

           duration:value Stop writing to a capture file after value seconds have elapsed.

           filesize:value Stop writing to a capture file after it reaches a size of value kB.  If
           this option is used together with the -b option, TShark will stop writing to the
           current capture file and switch to the next one if filesize is reached.  When reading
           a capture file, TShark will stop reading the file after the number of bytes read
           exceeds this number (the complete packet  will be read, so more bytes than this number
           may be read).  Note that the filesize is limited to a maximum value of 2 GiB.

           files:value Stop writing to capture files after value number of files were written.

       -b  <capture ring buffer option>
           Cause TShark to run in "multiple files" mode.  In "multiple files" mode, TShark will
           write to several capture files.  When the first capture file fills up, TShark will
           switch writing to the next file and so on.

           The created filenames are based on the filename given with the -w option, the number
           of the file and on the creation date and time, e.g. outfile_00001_20190714120117.pcap,
           outfile_00002_20190714120523.pcap, ...

           With the files option it's also possible to form a "ring buffer".  This will fill up
           new files until the number of files specified, at which point TShark will discard the
           data in the first file and start writing to that file and so on.  If the files option
           is not set, new files filled up until one of the capture stop conditions match (or
           until the disk is full).

           The criterion is of the form key:value, where key is one of:

           duration:value switch to the next file after value seconds have elapsed, even if the
           current file is not completely filled up.

           interval:value switch to the next file when the time is an exact multiple of value
           seconds

           filesize:value switch to the next file after it reaches a size of value kB.  Note that
           the filesize is limited to a maximum value of 2 GiB.

           files:value begin again with the first file after value number of files were written
           (form a ring buffer).  This value must be less than 100000.  Caution should be used
           when using large numbers of files: some filesystems do not handle many files in a
           single directory well.  The files criterion requires either duration, interval or
           filesize to be specified to control when to go to the next file.  It should be noted
           that each -b parameter takes exactly one criterion; to specify two criterion, each
           must be preceded by the -b option.

           Example: -b filesize:1000 -b files:5 results in a ring buffer of five files of size
           one megabyte each.

       -B  <capture buffer size>
           Set capture buffer size (in MiB, default is 2 MiB).  This is used by the capture
           driver to buffer packet data until that data can be written to disk.  If you encounter
           packet drops while capturing, try to increase this size.  Note that, while Tshark
           attempts to set the buffer size to 2 MiB by default, and can be told to set it to a
           larger value, the system or interface on which you're capturing might silently limit
           the capture buffer size to a lower value or raise it to a higher value.

           This is available on UNIX systems with libpcap 1.0.0 or later and on Windows.  It is
           not available on UNIX systems with earlier versions of libpcap.

           This option can occur multiple times.  If used before the first occurrence of the -i
           option, it sets the default capture buffer size.  If used after an -i option, it sets
           the capture buffer size for the interface specified by the last -i option occurring
           before this option.  If the capture buffer size is not set specifically, the default
           capture buffer size is used instead.

       -c  <capture packet count>
           Set the maximum number of packets to read when capturing live data.  If reading a
           capture file, set the maximum number of packets to read.

       -C  <configuration profile>
           Run with the given configuration profile.

       -d  <layer type>==<selector>,<decode-as protocol>
           Like Wireshark's Decode As... feature, this lets you specify how a layer type should
           be dissected.  If the layer type in question (for example, tcp.port or udp.port for a
           TCP or UDP port number) has the specified selector value, packets should be dissected
           as the specified protocol.

           Example: -d tcp.port==8888,http will decode any traffic running over TCP port 8888 as
           HTTP.

           Example: -d tcp.port==8888:3,http will decode any traffic running over TCP ports 8888,
           8889 or 8890 as HTTP.

           Example: -d tcp.port==8888-8890,http will decode any traffic running over TCP ports
           8888, 8889 or 8890 as HTTP.

           Using an invalid selector or protocol will print out a list of valid selectors and
           protocol names, respectively.

           Example: -d . is a quick way to get a list of valid selectors.

           Example: -d ethertype==0x0800. is a quick way to get a list of protocols that can be
           selected with an ethertype.

       -D  Print a list of the interfaces on which TShark can capture, and exit.  For each
           network interface, a number and an interface name, possibly followed by a text
           description of the interface, is printed.  The interface name or the number can be
           supplied to the -i option to specify an interface on which to capture.

           This can be useful on systems that don't have a command to list them (UNIX systems
           lacking ifconfig -a or Linux systems lacking ip link show). The number can be useful
           on Windows systems, where the interface name might be a long name or a GUID.

           Note that "can capture" means that TShark was able to open that device to do a live
           capture.  Depending on your system you may need to run tshark from an account with
           special privileges (for example, as root) to be able to capture network traffic.  If
           TShark -D is not run from such an account, it will not list any interfaces.

       -e  <field>
           Add a field to the list of fields to display if -T ek|fields|json|pdml is selected.
           This option can be used multiple times on the command line.  At least one field must
           be provided if the -T fields option is selected. Column names may be used prefixed
           with "_ws.col."

           Example: -e frame.number -e ip.addr -e udp -e _ws.col.Info

           Giving a protocol rather than a single field will print multiple items of data about
           the protocol as a single field.  Fields are separated by tab characters by default.
           -E controls the format of the printed fields.

       -E  <field print option>
           Set an option controlling the printing of fields when -T fields is selected.

           Options are:

           bom=y|n If y, prepend output with the UTF-8 byte order mark (hexadecimal ef, bb, bf).
           Defaults to n.

           header=y|n If y, print a list of the field names given using -e as the first line of
           the output; the field name will be separated using the same character as the field
           values.  Defaults to n.

           separator=/t|/s|<character> Set the separator character to use for fields.  If /t tab
           will be used (this is the default), if /s, a single space will be used.  Otherwise any
           character that can be accepted by the command line as part of the option may be used.

           occurrence=f|l|a Select which occurrence to use for fields that have multiple
           occurrences.  If f the first occurrence will be used, if l the last occurrence will be
           used and if a all occurrences will be used (this is the default).

           aggregator=,|/s|<character> Set the aggregator character to use for fields that have
           multiple occurrences.  If , a comma will be used (this is the default), if /s, a
           single space will be used.  Otherwise any character that can be accepted by the
           command line as part of the option may be used.

           quote=d|s|n Set the quote character to use to surround fields.  d uses double-quotes,
           s single-quotes, n no quotes (the default).

       -f  <capture filter>
           Set the capture filter expression.

           This option can occur multiple times.  If used before the first occurrence of the -i
           option, it sets the default capture filter expression.  If used after an -i option, it
           sets the capture filter expression for the interface specified by the last -i option
           occurring before this option.  If the capture filter expression is not set
           specifically, the default capture filter expression is used if provided.

           Pre-defined capture filter names, as shown in the GUI menu item Capture->Capture
           Filters, can be used by prefixing the argument with "predef:".  Example: -f
           "predef:MyPredefinedHostOnlyFilter"

       -F  <file format>
           Set the file format of the output capture file written using the -w option.  The
           output written with the -w option is raw packet data, not text, so there is no -F
           option to request text output.  The option -F without a value will list the available
           formats.

       -g  This option causes the output file(s) to be created with group-read permission
           (meaning that the output file(s) can be read by other members of the calling user's
           group).

       -G  [ <report type> ]
           The -G option will cause Tshark to dump one of several types of glossaries and then
           exit.  If no specific glossary type is specified, then the fields report will be
           generated by default.  Using the report type of help lists all the current report
           types.

           The available report types include:

           fields are tab-delimited.

            * Field 1 = plugin library (e.g. "gryphon.so")
            * Field 2 = plugin version (e.g. 0.0.4)
            * Field 3 = plugin type (e.g. "dissector" or "tap")
            * Field 4 = full path to plugin file

           protocols Dumps the protocols in the registration database to stdout.  An independent
           program can take this output and format it into nice tables or HTML or whatever.
           There is one record per line.  The fields are tab-delimited.

            * Field 1 = protocol name
            * Field 2 = protocol short name
            * Field 3 = protocol filter name

           values Dumps the value_strings, range_strings or true/false strings for fields that
           have them.  There is one record per line.  Fields are tab-delimited.  There are three
           types of records: Value String, Range String and True/False String.  The first field,
           'V', 'R' or 'T', indicates the type of record.

            * Value Strings
            * -------------
            * Field 1 = 'V'
            * Field 2 = field abbreviation to which this value string corresponds

           Print the version and options and exit.

       -H  <input hosts file>
           Read a list of entries from a "hosts" file, which will then be written to a capture
           file.  Implies -W n. Can be called multiple times.

           The "hosts" file format is documented at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)>.

       -i  <capture interface> | -
           Set the name of the network interface or pipe to use for live packet capture.

           Network interface names should match one of the names listed in "tshark -D" (described
           above); a number, as reported by "tshark -D", can also be used.  If you're using UNIX,
           "netstat -i" or "ifconfig -a" might also work to list interface names, although not
           all versions of UNIX support the -a option to ifconfig.

           If no interface is specified, TShark searches the list of interfaces, choosing the
           first non-loopback interface if there are any non-loopback interfaces, and choosing
           the first loopback interface if there are no non-loopback interfaces.  If there are no
           interfaces at all, TShark reports an error and doesn't start the capture.

           Pipe names should be either the name of a FIFO (named pipe) or ``-'' to read data from
           the standard input.  Data read from pipes must be in standard pcap format.

           This option can occur multiple times.  When capturing from multiple interfaces, the
           capture file will be saved in pcapng format.

           Note: the Win32 version of TShark doesn't support capturing from pipes!

       -I  Put the interface in "monitor mode"; this is supported only on IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi
           interfaces, and supported only on some operating systems.

           Note that in monitor mode the adapter might disassociate from the network with which
           it's associated, so that you will not be able to use any wireless networks with that
           adapter.  This could prevent accessing files on a network server, or resolving host
           names or network addresses, if you are capturing in monitor mode and are not connected
           to another network with another adapter.

           This option can occur multiple times.  If used before the first occurrence of the -i
           option, it enables the monitor mode for all interfaces.  If used after an -i option,
           it enables the monitor mode for the interface specified by the last -i option
           occurring before this option.

       -j  <protocol match filter>
           Protocol match filter used for ek|json|jsonraw|pdml output file types.  Parent node
           containing multiple child nodes is only included, if the name is found in the filter.

           Example: -j "ip ip.flags text"

       -J  <protocol match filter>
           Protocol top level filter used for ek|json|jsonraw|pdml output file types.  Parent
           node containing multiple child nodes is included with all children.

           Example: -J "http tcp"

       -K  <keytab>
           Load kerberos crypto keys from the specified keytab file.  This option can be used
           multiple times to load keys from several files.

           Example: -K krb5.keytab

       -l  Flush the standard output after the information for each packet is printed.  (This is
           not, strictly speaking, line-buffered if -V was specified; however, it is the same as
           line-buffered if -V wasn't specified, as only one line is printed for each packet,
           and, as -l is normally used when piping a live capture to a program or script, so that
           output for a packet shows up as soon as the packet is seen and dissected, it should
           work just as well as true line-buffering.  We do this as a workaround for a deficiency
           in the Microsoft Visual C++ C library.)

           This may be useful when piping the output of TShark to another program, as it means
           that the program to which the output is piped will see the dissected data for a packet
           as soon as TShark sees the packet and generates that output, rather than seeing it
           only when the standard output buffer containing that data fills up.

       -L  List the data link types supported by the interface and exit.  The reported link types
           can be used for the -y option.

       -n  Disable network object name resolution (such as hostname, TCP and UDP port names); the
           -N option might override this one.

       -N  <name resolving flags>
           Turn on name resolving only for particular types of addresses and port numbers, with
           name resolving for other types of addresses and port numbers turned off.  This option
           overrides -n if both -N and -n are present.  If both -N and -n options are not
           present, all name resolutions are turned on.

           The argument is a string that may contain the letters:

           d to enable resolution from captured DNS packets

           m to enable MAC address resolution

           n to enable network address resolution

           N to enable using external resolvers (e.g., DNS) for network address resolution

           t to enable transport-layer port number resolution

           v to enable VLAN IDs to names resolution

       -o  <preference>:<value>
           Set a preference value, overriding the default value and any value read from a
           preference file.  The argument to the option is a string of the form prefname:value,
           where prefname is the name of the preference (which is the same name that would appear
           in the preference file), and value is the value to which it should be set.

       -O  <protocols>
           Similar to the -V option, but causes TShark to only show a detailed view of the comma-
           separated list of protocols specified, and show only the top-level detail line for all
           other protocols, rather than a detailed view of all protocols.  Use the output of
           "tshark -G protocols" to find the abbreviations of the protocols you can specify.

       -p  Don't put the interface into promiscuous mode.  Note that the interface might be in
           promiscuous mode for some other reason; hence, -p cannot be used to ensure that the
           only traffic that is captured is traffic sent to or from the machine on which TShark
           is running, broadcast traffic, and multicast traffic to addresses received by that
           machine.

           This option can occur multiple times.  If used before the first occurrence of the -i
           option, no interface will be put into the promiscuous mode.  If used after an -i
           option, the interface specified by the last -i option occurring before this option
           will not be put into the promiscuous mode.

       -P
       --print
           Decode and display the packet summary or details, even if writing raw packet data
           using the -w option, and even if packet output is otherwise suppressed with -Q.

       -q  When capturing packets, don't display the continuous count of packets captured that is
           normally shown when saving a capture to a file; instead, just display, at the end of
           the capture, a count of packets captured.  On systems that support the SIGINFO signal,
           such as various BSDs, you can cause the current count to be displayed by typing your
           "status" character (typically control-T, although it might be set to "disabled" by
           default on at least some BSDs, so you'd have to explicitly set it to use it).

           When reading a capture file, or when capturing and not saving to a file, don't print
           packet information; this is useful if you're using a -z option to calculate statistics
           and don't want the packet information printed, just the statistics.

       -Q  When capturing packets, don't display, on the standard error, the initial message
           indicating on which interfaces the capture is being done, the continuous count of
           packets captured shown when saving a capture to a file, and the final message giving
           the count of packets captured.  Only true errors are displayed on the standard error.

           only display true errors; don't display the initial message indicating the.  This
           outputs less than the -q option, so the interface name and total packet count and the
           end of a capture are not sent to stderr.

           When reading a capture file, or when capturing and not saving to a file, don't print
           packet information; this is useful if you're using a -z option to calculate statistics
           and don't want the packet information printed, just the statistics.

       -r  <infile>
           Read packet data from infile, can be any supported capture file format (including
           gzipped files).  It is possible to use named pipes or stdin (-) here but only with
           certain (not compressed) capture file formats (in particular: those that can be read
           without seeking backwards).

       -R  <Read filter>
           Cause the specified filter (which uses the syntax of read/display filters, rather than
           that of capture filters) to be applied during the first pass of analysis. Packets not
           matching the filter are not considered for future passes. Only makes sense with
           multiple passes, see -2. For regular filtering on single-pass dissect see -Y instead.

           Note that forward-looking fields such as 'response in frame #' cannot be used with
           this filter, since they will not have been calculate when this filter is applied.

       -s  <capture snaplen>
           Set the default snapshot length to use when capturing live data.  No more than snaplen
           bytes of each network packet will be read into memory, or saved to disk.  A value of 0
           specifies a snapshot length of 262144, so that the full packet is captured; this is
           the default.

           This option can occur multiple times.  If used before the first occurrence of the -i
           option, it sets the default snapshot length.  If used after an -i option, it sets the
           snapshot length for the interface specified by the last -i option occurring before
           this option.  If the snapshot length is not set specifically, the default snapshot
           length is used if provided.

       -S  <separator>
           Set the line separator to be printed between packets.

       -t  a|ad|adoy|d|dd|e|r|u|ud|udoy
           Set the format of the packet timestamp printed in summary lines.  The format can be
           one of:

           a absolute: The absolute time, as local time in your time zone, is the actual time the
           packet was captured, with no date displayed

           ad absolute with date: The absolute date, displayed as YYYY-MM-DD, and time, as local
           time in your time zone, is the actual time and date the packet was captured

           adoy absolute with date using day of year: The absolute date, displayed as YYYY/DOY,
           and time, as local time in your time zone, is the actual time and date the packet was
           captured

           d delta: The delta time is the time since the previous packet was captured

           dd delta_displayed: The delta_displayed time is the time since the previous displayed
           packet was captured

           e epoch: The time in seconds since epoch (Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00)

           r relative: The relative time is the time elapsed between the first packet and the
           current packet

           u UTC: The absolute time, as UTC, is the actual time the packet was captured, with no
           date displayed

           ud UTC with date: The absolute date, displayed as YYYY-MM-DD, and time, as UTC, is the
           actual time and date the packet was captured

           udoy UTC with date using day of year: The absolute date, displayed as YYYY/DOY, and
           time, as UTC, is the actual time and date the packet was captured

           The default format is relative.

       -T  ek|fields|json|jsonraw|pdml|ps|psml|tabs|text
           Set the format of the output when viewing decoded packet data.  The options are one
           of:

           ek Newline delimited JSON format for bulk import into Elasticsearch.  It can be used
           with -j or -J including the JSON filter or with -x to include raw hex-encoded packet
           data.  If -P is specified it will print the packet summary only, with both -P and -V
           it will print the packet summary and packet details.  If neither -P or -V are used it
           will print the packet details only.  Example of usage to import data into
           Elasticsearch:

             tshark -T ek -j "http tcp ip" -P -V -x -r file.pcap > file.json
             curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -XPOST http://elasticsearch:9200/_bulk --data-binary "@file.json"

           fields The values of fields specified with the -e option, in a form specified by the
           -E option.  For example,

             -T fields -E separator=, -E quote=d

           would generate comma-separated values (CSV) output suitable for importing into your
           favorite spreadsheet program.

           json JSON file format.  It can be used with -j or -J including the JSON filter or with
           -x option to include raw hex-encoded packet data.  Example of usage:

             tshark -T json -r file.pcap
             tshark -T json -j "http tcp ip" -x -r file.pcap

           jsonraw JSON file format including only raw hex-encoded packet data.  It can be used
           with -j including or -J the JSON filter option.  Example of usage:

             tshark -T jsonraw -r file.pcap
             tshark -T jsonraw -j "http tcp ip" -x -r file.pcap

           pdml Packet Details Markup Language, an XML-based format for the details of a decoded
           packet.  This information is equivalent to the packet details printed with the -V
           option.  Using the --color option will add color attributes to pdml output.  These
           attributes are nonstandard.

           ps PostScript for a human-readable one-line summary of each of the packets, or a
           multi-line view of the details of each of the packets, depending on whether the -V
           option was specified.

           psml Packet Summary Markup Language, an XML-based format for the summary information
           of a decoded packet.  This information is equivalent to the information shown in the
           one-line summary printed by default.  Using the --color option will add color
           attributes to pdml output. These attributes are nonstandard.

           tabs Similar to the default text report except the human-readable one-line summary of
           each packet will include an ASCII horizontal tab (0x09) character as a delimiter
           between each column.

           text Text of a human-readable one-line summary of each of the packets, or a multi-line
           view of the details of each of the packets, depending on whether the -V option was
           specified.  This is the default.

       -u <seconds type>
           Specifies the seconds type.  Valid choices are:

           s for seconds

           hms for hours, minutes and seconds

       -U <tap name>
           PDUs export, exports PDUs from infile to outfile according to the tap name given. Use
           -Y to filter.

           Enter an empty tap name "" to get a list of available names.

       -v
       --version
           Print the version and exit.

       -V  Cause TShark to print a view of the packet details.

       -w  <outfile> | -
           Write raw packet data to outfile or to the standard output if outfile is '-'.

           NOTE: -w provides raw packet data, not text.  If you want text output you need to
           redirect stdout (e.g. using '>'), don't use the -w option for this.

       -W  <file format option>
           Save extra information in the file if the format supports it.  For example,

             -F pcapng -W n

           will save host name resolution records along with captured packets.

           Future versions of Tshark may automatically change the capture format to pcapng as
           needed.

           The argument is a string that may contain the following letter:

           n write network address resolution information (pcapng only)

       -x  Cause TShark to print a hex and ASCII dump of the packet data after printing the
           summary and/or details, if either are also being displayed.

       -X <eXtension options>
           Specify an option to be passed to a TShark module.  The eXtension option is in the
           form extension_key:value, where extension_key can be:

           lua_script:lua_script_filename tells TShark to load the given script in addition to
           the default Lua scripts.

           lua_scriptnum:argument tells TShark to pass the given argument to the lua script
           identified by 'num', which is the number indexed order of the 'lua_script' command.
           For example, if only one script was loaded with '-X lua_script:my.lua', then '-X
           lua_script1:foo' will pass the string 'foo' to the 'my.lua' script.  If two scripts
           were loaded, such as '-X lua_script:my.lua' and '-X lua_script:other.lua' in that
           order, then a '-X lua_script2:bar' would pass the string 'bar' to the second lua
           script, namely 'other.lua'.

           read_format:file_format tells TShark to use the given file format to read in the file
           (the file given in the -r command option). Providing no file_format argument, or an
           invalid one, will produce a file of available file formats to use.

       -y  <capture link type>
           Set the data link type to use while capturing packets.  The values reported by -L are
           the values that can be used.

           This option can occur multiple times.  If used before the first occurrence of the -i
           option, it sets the default capture link type.  If used after an -i option, it sets
           the capture link type for the interface specified by the last -i option occurring
           before this option.  If the capture link type is not set specifically, the default
           capture link type is used if provided.

       -Y  <displaY filter>
           Cause the specified filter (which uses the syntax of read/display filters, rather than
           that of capture filters) to be applied before printing a decoded form of packets or
           writing packets to a file.  Packets matching the filter are printed or written to
           file; packets that the matching packets depend upon (e.g., fragments), are not printed
           but are written to file; packets not matching the filter nor depended upon are
           discarded rather than being printed or written.

           Use this instead of -R for filtering using single-pass analysis. If doing two-pass
           analysis (see -2) then only packets matching the read filter (if there is one) will be
           checked against this filter.

       -M  <auto session reset>
           Automatically reset internal session when reached to specified number of packets.  for
           example,

               -M 100000

           will reset session every 100000 packets.

           This feature does not support -2 two-pass analysis

       -z  <statistics>
           Get TShark to collect various types of statistics and display the result after
           finishing reading the capture file.  Use the -q option if you're reading a capture
           file and only want the statistics printed, not any per-packet information.

           Note that the -z proto option is different - it doesn't cause statistics to be
           gathered and printed when the capture is complete, it modifies the regular packet
           summary output to include the values of fields specified with the option.  Therefore
           you must not use the -q option, as that option would suppress the printing of the
           regular packet summary output, and must also not use the -V option, as that would
           cause packet detail information rather than packet summary information to be printed.

           Currently implemented statistics are:

           -z help
               Display all possible values for -z.

           -z afp,srt[,filter]

           -z compare,start,stop,ttl[0|1],order[0|1],variance[,filter]
               If the optional filter is specified, only those packets that match the filter will
               be used in the calculations.

           -z conv,type[,filter]
               Create a table that lists all conversations that could be seen in the capture.
               type specifies the conversation endpoint types for which we want to generate the
               statistics; currently the supported ones are:

                 "bluetooth"  Bluetooth addresses
                 "eth"   Ethernet addresses
                 "fc"    Fibre Channel addresses

               If the optional filter is specified, only those packets that match the filter will
               be used in the calculations.

               The table is presented with one line for each conversation and displays the number
               of packets/bytes in each direction as well as the total number of packets/bytes.
               The table is sorted according to the total number of frames.

           -z dcerpc,srt,uuid,major.minor[,filter]
               Collect call/reply SRT (Service Response Time) data for DCERPC interface uuid,
               version major.minor.  Data collected is the number of calls for each procedure,
               MinSRT, MaxSRT and AvgSRT.

               Example: -z dcerpc,srt,12345778-1234-abcd-ef00-0123456789ac,1.0 will collect data
               for the CIFS SAMR Interface.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.

               Example: -z dcerpc,srt,12345778-1234-abcd-ef00-0123456789ac,1.0,ip.addr==1.2.3.4
               will collect SAMR SRT statistics for a specific host.

           -z bootp,stat[,filter]
               Show DHCP (BOOTP) statistics.

           -z diameter,avp[,cmd.code,field,field,...]
               This option enables extraction of most important diameter fields from large
               capture files.  Exactly one text line for each diameter message with matched
               diameter.cmd.code will be printed.

               Empty diameter command code or '*' can be specified to mach any diameter.cmd.code

               Example: -z diameter,avp  extract default field set from diameter messages.

               Example: -z diameter,avp,280  extract default field set from diameter DWR
               messages.

               Example: -z diameter,avp,272  extract default field set from diameter CC messages.

               Extract most important fields from diameter CC messages:

               tshark -r file.cap.gz -q -z
               diameter,avp,272,CC-Request-Type,CC-Request-Number,Session-Id,Subscription-Id-Data,Rating-Group,Result-Code

               Following fields will be printed out for each diameter message:

                 "frame"        Frame number.
                 "time"         Unix time of the frame arrival.

                 "resp_time"    response time in seconds, '0' in case if matched Request/Answer is not found in trace.  E.g. in the begin or end of capture.

               -z diameter,avp option is much faster than -V -T text or -T pdml options.

               -z diameter,avp option is more powerful than -T field and -z proto,colinfo
               options.

               Multiple diameter messages in one frame are supported.

               Several fields with same name within one diameter message are supported, e.g.
               diameter.Subscription-Id-Data or diameter.Rating-Group.

               Note: tshark -q option is recommended to suppress default tshark output.

           -z dns,tree[,filter]
               Create a summary of the captured DNS packets. General information are collected
               such as qtype and qclass distribution.  For some data (as qname length or DNS
               payload) max, min and average values are also displayed.

           -z endpoints,type[,filter]
               Create a table that lists all endpoints that could be seen in the capture.  type
               specifies the endpoint types for which we want to generate the statistics;

                 "wlan"  IEEE 802.11 addresses

               If the optional filter is specified, only those packets that match the filter will
               be used in the calculations.

               The table is presented with one line for each conversation and displays the number
               of packets/bytes in each direction as well as the total number of packets/bytes.
               The table is sorted according to the total number of frames.

           -z expert[,error|,warn|,note|,chat|,comment][,filter]
               Collects information about all expert info, and will display them in order,
               grouped by severity.

               Example: -z expert,sip will show expert items of all severity for frames that
               match the sip protocol.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.

               Example: -z "expert,note,tcp" will only collect expert items for frames that
               include the tcp protocol, with a severity of note or higher.

           -z flow,name,mode,[filter]
               Displays the flow of data between two nodes. Output is the same as ASCII format
               saved from GUI.

               name specifies the flow name.  It can be one of:

                 any      All frames
                 icmp     ICMP
                 icmpv6   ICMPv6
                 lbm_uim  UIM
                 tcp      TCP

               mode specifies the address type.  It can be one of:

                 standard   Any address
                 network    Network address

               Example: -z flow,tcp,network will show data flow for all TCP frames

           -z follow,prot,mode,filter[,range]
               Displays the contents of a TCP or UDP stream between two nodes.  The data sent by
               the second node is prefixed with a tab to differentiate it from the data sent by
               the first node.

               prot specifies the transport protocol.  It can be one of:

                 tcp   TCP
                 udp   UDP
                 ssl   SSL

               mode specifies the output mode.  It can be one of:

                 ascii  ASCII output with dots for non-printable characters
                 ebcdic EBCDIC output with dots for non-printable characters
                 hex    Hexadecimal and ASCII data with offsets
                 raw    Hexadecimal data

               Since the output in ascii or ebcdic mode may contain newlines, the length of each
               section of output plus a newline precedes each section of output.

               filter specifies the stream to be displayed. UDP/TCP streams are selected with
               either the stream index or IP address plus port pairs. SSL streams are selected
               with the stream index. For example:

                 ip-addr0:port0,ip-addr1:port1
                 stream-index

               range optionally specifies which "chunks" of the stream should be displayed.

               Example: -z "follow,tcp,hex,1" will display the contents of the second TCP stream
               (the first is stream 0) in "hex" format.

           -z h225,counter[,filter]
               Count ITU-T H.225 messages and their reasons.  In the first column you get a list
               of H.225 messages and H.225 message reasons, which occur in the current capture
               file.  The number of occurrences of each message or reason is displayed in the
               second column.

               Example: -z h225,counter.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.  Example: use -z "h225,counter,ip.addr==1.2.3.4" to
               only collect stats for H.225 packets exchanged by the host at IP address 1.2.3.4 .

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

           -z h225,srt[,filter]
               Collect requests/response SRT (Service Response Time) data for ITU-T H.225 RAS.
               Data collected is number of calls of each ITU-T H.225 RAS Message Type, Minimum
               SRT, Maximum SRT, Average SRT, Minimum in Packet, and Maximum in Packet.  You will
               also get the number of Open Requests (Unresponded Requests), Discarded Responses
               (Responses without matching request) and Duplicate Messages.

               Example: -z h225,srt

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.

               Example: -z "h225,srt,ip.addr==1.2.3.4" will only collect stats for ITU-T H.225
               RAS packets exchanged by the host at IP address 1.2.3.4 .

           -z hosts[,ipv4][,ipv6]
               Dump any collected IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses in "hosts" format.  Both IPv4 and
               IPv6 addresses are dumped by default.

               Addresses are collected from a number of sources, including standard "hosts" files
               and captured traffic.

           -z hpfeeds,tree[,filter]
               Calculate statistics for HPFEEDS traffic such as publish per channel, and opcode
               distribution.

           -z http,stat,
               Calculate the HTTP statistics distribution. Displayed values are the HTTP status
               codes and the HTTP request methods.

           -z http,tree
               Calculate the HTTP packet distribution. Displayed values are the HTTP request
               modes and the HTTP status codes.

           -z http_ref,tree
               Calculate the HTTP requests by referer. Displayed values are the referring URI.

           -z http_req,tree
               Calculate the HTTP requests by server. Displayed values are the server name and
               the URI path.

           -z http_srv,tree
               Calculate the HTTP requests and responses by server. For the HTTP requests,
               displayed values are the server IP address and server hostname. For the HTTP
               responses, displayed values are the server IP address and status.

           -z icmp,srt[,filter]
               Compute total ICMP echo requests, replies, loss, and percent loss, as well as
               minimum, maximum, mean, median and sample standard deviation SRT statistics
               typical of what ping provides.

               Example: -z icmp,srt,ip.src==1.2.3.4 will collect ICMP SRT statistics for ICMP
               echo request packets originating from a specific host.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

           -z icmpv6,srt[,filter]
               Compute total ICMPv6 echo requests, replies, loss, and percent loss, as well as
               minimum, maximum, mean, median and sample standard deviation SRT statistics
               typical of what ping provides.

               Example: -z icmpv6,srt,ipv6.src==fe80::1 will collect ICMPv6 SRT statistics for
               ICMPv6 echo request packets originating from a specific host.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

           -z io,phs[,filter]
               Create Protocol Hierarchy Statistics listing both number of packets and bytes.  If
               no filter is specified the statistics will be calculated for all packets.  If a
               filter is specified statistics will only be calculated for those packets that
               match the filter.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

           -z io,stat,interval[,filter][,filter][,filter]...
               Collect packet/bytes statistics for the capture in intervals of interval seconds.
               Interval can be specified either as a whole or fractional second and can be
               specified with microsecond (us) resolution.  If interval is 0, the statistics will
               be calculated over all packets.

               If no filter is specified the statistics will be calculated for all packets.  If
               one or more filters are specified statistics will be calculated for all filters
               and presented with one column of statistics for each filter.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               Example: -z io,stat,1,ip.addr==1.2.3.4 will generate 1 second statistics for all
               traffic to/from host 1.2.3.4.

               Example: -z "io,stat,0.001,smb&&ip.addr==1.2.3.4" will generate 1ms statistics for
               all SMB packets to/from host 1.2.3.4.

               The examples above all use the standard syntax for generating statistics which
               only calculates the number of packets and bytes in each interval.

               io,stat can also do much more statistics and calculate COUNT(), SUM(), MIN(),
               MAX(), AVG() and LOAD() using a slightly different filter syntax:

           -z io,stat,interval,"[COUNT|SUM|MIN|MAX|AVG|LOAD](field)filter"
               NOTE: One important thing to note here is that the filter is not optional and that
               the field that the calculation is based on MUST be part of the filter string or
               the calculation will fail.

               So: -z io,stat,0.010,AVG(smb.time) does not work.  Use -z
               io,stat,0.010,AVG(smb.time)smb.time instead.  Also be aware that a field can exist
               multiple times inside the same packet and will then be counted multiple times in
               those packets.

               NOTE: A second important thing to note is that the system setting for decimal
               separator must be set to "."! If it is set to "," the statistics will not be
               displayed per filter.

               COUNT(field)filter - Calculates the number of times that the field name (not its
               value) appears per interval in the filtered packet list.  ''field'' can be any
               display filter name.

               Example: -z io,stat,0.010,"COUNT(smb.sid)smb.sid"

               This will count the total number of SIDs seen in each 10ms interval.

               SUM(field)filter - Unlike COUNT, the values of the specified field are summed per
               time interval.  ''field'' can only be a named integer, float, double or relative
               time field.

               Example: -z io,stat,0.010,"SUM(frame.len)frame.len"

               Reports the total number of bytes that were transmitted bidirectionally in all the
               packets within a 10 millisecond interval.

               MIN/MAX/AVG(field)filter - The minimum, maximum, or average field value in each
               interval is calculated.  The specified field must be a named integer, float,
               double or relative time field.  For relative time fields, the output is presented
               in seconds with six decimal digits of precision rounded to the nearest
               microsecond.

               In the following example, the time of the first Read_AndX call, the last Read_AndX
               response values are displayed and the minimum, maximum, and average Read response
               times (SRTs) are calculated.  NOTE: If the DOS command shell line continuation
               character, ''^'' is used, each line cannot end in a comma so it is placed at the
               beginning of each continuation line:

           -z mac-lte,stat[,filter]
               This option will activate a counter for LTE MAC messages.  You will get
               information about the maximum number of UEs/TTI, common messages and various
               counters for each UE that appears in the log.

               Example: -z mac-lte,stat.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated for those
               frames that match that filter.  Example: -z "mac-lte,stat,mac-lte.rnti3000"> will
               only collect stats for UEs with an assigned RNTI whose value is more than 3000.

           -z megaco,rtd[,filter]
               Collect requests/response RTD (Response Time Delay) data for MEGACO.  (This is
               similar to -z smb,srt).  Data collected is the number of calls for each known
               MEGACO Type, MinRTD, MaxRTD and AvgRTD.  Additionally you get the number of
               duplicate requests/responses, unresponded requests, responses, which don't match
               with any request.  Example: -z megaco,rtd.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.  Example: -z "megaco,rtd,ip.addr==1.2.3.4" will only
               collect stats for MEGACO packets exchanged by the host at IP address 1.2.3.4 .

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

           -z mgcp,rtd[,filter]
               Collect requests/response RTD (Response Time Delay) data for MGCP.  (This is
               similar to -z smb,srt).  Data collected is the number of calls for each known MGCP
               Type, MinRTD, MaxRTD and AvgRTD.  Additionally you get the number of duplicate
               requests/responses, unresponded requests, responses, which don't match with any
               request.  Example: -z mgcp,rtd.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.  Example: -z "mgcp,rtd,ip.addr==1.2.3.4" will only
               collect stats for MGCP packets exchanged by the host at IP address 1.2.3.4 .

           -z proto,colinfo,filter,field
               Append all field values for the packet to the Info column of the one-line summary
               output.  This feature can be used to append arbitrary fields to the Info column in
               addition to the normal content of that column.  field is the display-filter name
               of a field which value should be placed in the Info column.  filter is a filter
               string that controls for which packets the field value will be presented in the
               info column.  field will only be presented in the Info column for the packets
               which match filter.

               NOTE: In order for TShark to be able to extract the field value from the packet,
               field MUST be part of the filter string.  If not, TShark will not be able to
               extract its value.

               For a simple example to add the "nfs.fh.hash" field to the Info column for all
               packets containing the "nfs.fh.hash" field, use

               -z proto,colinfo,nfs.fh.hash,nfs.fh.hash

               To put "nfs.fh.hash" in the Info column but only for packets coming from host
               1.2.3.4 use:

               -z "proto,colinfo,nfs.fh.hash && ip.src==1.2.3.4,nfs.fh.hash"

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

           -z rlc-lte,stat[,filter]
               This option will activate a counter for LTE RLC messages.  You will get
               information about common messages and various counters for each UE that appears in
               the log.

               Example: -z rlc-lte,stat.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated for those
               frames that match that filter.  Example: -z "rlc-lte,stat,rlc-lte.ueid3000"> will
               only collect stats for UEs with a UEId of more than 3000.

           -z rpc,programs
               Collect call/reply SRT data for all known ONC-RPC programs/versions.  Data
               collected is number of calls for each protocol/version, MinSRT, MaxSRT and AvgSRT.
               This option can only be used once on the command line.

           -z rpc,srt,program,version[,filter]
               Collect call/reply SRT (Service Response Time) data for program/version.  Data
               collected is the number of calls for each procedure, MinSRT, MaxSRT, AvgSRT, and
               the total time taken for each procedure.

               Example: -z rpc,srt,100003,3 will collect data for NFS v3.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.

               Example: -z rpc,srt,100003,3,nfs.fh.hash==0x12345678 will collect NFS v3 SRT
               statistics for a specific file.

           -z rtp,streams
               Collect statistics for all RTP streams and calculate max. delta, max. and mean
               jitter and packet loss percentages.

           -z scsi,srt,cmdset[,filter]
               Collect call/reply SRT (Service Response Time) data for SCSI commandset cmdset.

               Commandsets are 0:SBC   1:SSC  5:MMC

               Data collected is the number of calls for each procedure, MinSRT, MaxSRT and
               AvgSRT.

               Example: -z scsi,srt,0 will collect data for SCSI BLOCK COMMANDS (SBC).

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.

               Example: -z scsi,srt,0,ip.addr==1.2.3.4 will collect SCSI SBC SRT statistics for a
               specific iscsi/ifcp/fcip host.

           -z sip,stat[,filter]
               This option will activate a counter for SIP messages.  You will get the number of
               occurrences of each SIP Method and of each SIP Status-Code.  Additionally you also
               get the number of resent SIP Messages (only for SIP over UDP).

               Example: -z sip,stat.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.  Example: -z "sip,stat,ip.addr==1.2.3.4" will only
               collect stats for SIP packets exchanged by the host at IP address 1.2.3.4 .

           -z smb,sids
               When this feature is used TShark will print a report with all the discovered SID
               and account name mappings.  Only those SIDs where the account name is known will
               be presented in the table.

               For this feature to work you will need to either to enable
               "Edit/Preferences/Protocols/SMB/Snoop SID to name mappings" in the preferences or
               you can override the preferences by specifying -o "smb.sid_name_snooping:TRUE" on
               the TShark command line.

               The current method used by TShark to find the SID->name mapping is relatively
               restricted with a hope of future expansion.

           -z smb,srt[,filter]
               Collect call/reply SRT (Service Response Time) data for SMB.  Data collected is
               number of calls for each SMB command, MinSRT, MaxSRT and AvgSRT.

               Example: -z smb,srt

               The data will be presented as separate tables for all normal SMB commands, all
               Transaction2 commands and all NT Transaction commands.  Only those commands that
               are seen in the capture will have its stats displayed.  Only the first command in
               a xAndX command chain will be used in the calculation.  So for common
               SessionSetupAndX + TreeConnectAndX chains, only the SessionSetupAndX call will be
               used in the statistics.  This is a flaw that might be fixed in the future.

               This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

               If the optional filter is provided, the stats will only be calculated on those
               calls that match that filter.

               Example: -z "smb,srt,ip.addr==1.2.3.4" will only collect stats for SMB packets
               exchanged by the host at IP address 1.2.3.4 .

       --capture-comment <comment>
           Add a capture comment to the output file.

           This option is only available if a new output file in pcapng format is created. Only
           one capture comment may be set per output file.

       --list-time-stamp-types
           List time stamp types supported for the interface. If no time stamp type can be set,
           no time stamp types are listed.

       --time-stamp-type <type>
           Change the interface's timestamp method.

       --color
           Enable coloring of packets according to standard Wireshark color filters. On Windows
           colors are limited to the standard console character attribute colors. Other platforms
           require a terminal that handles 24-bit "true color" terminal escape sequences. See
           <https://wiki.wireshark.org/ColoringRules> for more information on configuring color
           filters.

       --no-duplicate-keys
           If a key appears multiple times in an object, only write it a single time with as
           value a json array containing all the separate values. (Only works with -T json)

       --export-objects <protocol>,<destdir>
           Export all objects within a protocol into directory destdir. The available values for
           protocol can be listed with --export-objects help.

           The objects are directly saved in the given directory. Filenames are dependent on the
           dissector, but typically it is named after the basename of a file.  Duplicate files
           are not overwritten, instead an increasing number is appended before the file
           extension.

           This interface is subject to change, adding the possibility to filter on files.

       --enable-protocol <proto_name>
           Enable dissection of proto_name.

       --disable-protocol <proto_name>
           Disable dissection of proto_name.

       --enable-heuristic <short_name>
           Enable dissection of heuristic protocol.

       --disable-heuristic <short_name>
           Disable dissection of heuristic protocol.

FILES

       These files contains various Wireshark configuration values.

       Preferences
           The preferences files contain global (system-wide) and personal preference settings.
           If the system-wide preference file exists, it is read first, overriding the default
           settings.  If the personal preferences file exists, it is read next, overriding any
           previous values.  Note: If the command line option -o is used (possibly more than
           once), it will in turn override values from the preferences files.

           The preferences settings are in the form prefname:value, one per line, where prefname
           is the name of the preference and value is the value to which it should be set; white
           space is allowed between : and value.  A preference setting can be continued on
           subsequent lines by indenting the continuation lines with white space.  A # character
           starts a comment that runs to the end of the line:

             # Capture in promiscuous mode?
             # TRUE or FALSE (case-insensitive).
             capture.prom_mode: TRUE

           The global preferences file is looked for in the wireshark directory under the share
           subdirectory of the main installation directory (for example,
           /usr/local/share/wireshark/preferences) on UNIX-compatible systems, and in the main
           installation directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Wireshark\preferences) on
           Windows systems.

           The personal preferences file is looked for in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wireshark/preferences
           (or, if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wireshark does not exist while $HOME/.wireshark is present,
           $HOME/.wireshark/preferences) on UNIX-compatible systems and
           %APPDATA%\Wireshark\preferences (or, if %APPDATA% isn't defined,
           %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Wireshark\preferences) on Windows systems.

       Disabled (Enabled) Protocols
           The disabled_protos files contain system-wide and personal lists of protocols that
           have been disabled, so that their dissectors are never called.  The files contain
           protocol names, one per line, where the protocol name is the same name that would be
           used in a display filter for the protocol:

             http
             tcp     # a comment

           The global disabled_protos file uses the same directory as the global preferences
           file.

           The personal disabled_protos file uses the same directory as the personal preferences
           file.

       Name Resolution (hosts)
           If the personal hosts file exists, it is used to resolve IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
           before any other attempts are made to resolve them.  The file has the standard hosts
           file syntax; each line contains one IP address and name, separated by whitespace.  The
           same directory as for the personal preferences file is used.

           Capture filter name resolution is handled by libpcap on UNIX-compatible systems and
           WinPcap on Windows.  As such the Wireshark personal hosts file will not be consulted
           for capture filter name resolution.

       Name Resolution (subnets)
           If an IPv4 address cannot be translated via name resolution (no exact match is found)
           then a partial match is attempted via the subnets file.

           Each line of this file consists of an IPv4 address, a subnet mask length separated
           only by a / and a name separated by whitespace. While the address must be a full IPv4
           address, any values beyond the mask length are subsequently ignored.

           An example is:

           # Comments must be prepended by the # sign!  192.168.0.0/24 ws_test_network

           A partially matched name will be printed as "subnet-name.remaining-address".  For
           example, "192.168.0.1" under the subnet above would be printed as "ws_test_network.1";
           if the mask length above had been 16 rather than 24, the printed address would be
           ``ws_test_network.0.1".

       Name Resolution (ethers)
           The ethers files are consulted to correlate 6-byte hardware addresses to names.  First
           the personal ethers file is tried and if an address is not found there the global
           ethers file is tried next.

           Each line contains one hardware address and name, separated by whitespace.  The digits
           of the hardware address are separated by colons (:), dashes (-) or periods (.).  The
           same separator character must be used consistently in an address.  The following three
           lines are valid lines of an ethers file:

             ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff          Broadcast
             c0-00-ff-ff-ff-ff          TR_broadcast
             00.00.00.00.00.00          Zero_broadcast

           The global ethers file is looked for in the /etc directory on UNIX-compatible systems,
           and in the main installation directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Wireshark) on
           Windows systems.

           The personal ethers file is looked for in the same directory as the personal
           preferences file.

           Capture filter name resolution is handled by libpcap on UNIX-compatible systems and
           WinPcap on Windows.  As such the Wireshark personal ethers file will not be consulted
           for capture filter name resolution.

       Name Resolution (manuf)
           The manuf file is used to match the 3-byte vendor portion of a 6-byte hardware address
           with the manufacturer's name; it can also contain well-known MAC addresses and address
           ranges specified with a netmask.  The format of the file is the same as the ethers
           files, except that entries of the form:

             00:00:0C      Cisco

           can be provided, with the 3-byte OUI and the name for a vendor, and entries such as:

             00-00-0C-07-AC/40     All-HSRP-routers

           can be specified, with a MAC address and a mask indicating how many bits of the
           address must match.  The above entry, for example, has 40 significant bits, or 5
           bytes, and would match addresses from 00-00-0C-07-AC-00 through 00-00-0C-07-AC-FF.
           The mask need not be a multiple of 8.

           The manuf file is looked for in the same directory as the global preferences file.

       Name Resolution (services)
           The services file is used to translate port numbers into names.

           The file has the standard services file syntax; each line contains one (service) name
           and one transport identifier separated by white space.  The transport identifier
           includes one port number and one transport protocol name (typically tcp, udp, or sctp)
           separated by a /.

           An example is:

           mydns       5045/udp     # My own Domain Name Server mydns       5045/tcp     # My own
           Domain Name Server

       Name Resolution (ipxnets)
           The ipxnets files are used to correlate 4-byte IPX network numbers to names.  First
           the global ipxnets file is tried and if that address is not found there the personal
           one is tried next.

           The format is the same as the ethers file, except that each address is four bytes
           instead of six.  Additionally, the address can be represented as a single hexadecimal
           number, as is more common in the IPX world, rather than four hex octets.  For example,
           these four lines are valid lines of an ipxnets file:

             C0.A8.2C.00              HR
             c0-a8-1c-00              CEO
             00:00:BE:EF              IT_Server1
             110f                     FileServer3

           The global ipxnets file is looked for in the /etc directory on UNIX-compatible
           systems, and in the main installation directory (for example, C:\Program
           Files\Wireshark) on Windows systems.

           The personal ipxnets file is looked for in the same directory as the personal
           preferences file.

OUTPUT

       TShark uses UTF-8 to represent strings internally. In some cases the output might not be
       valid. For example, a dissector might generate invalid UTF-8 character sequences. Programs
       reading TShark output should expect UTF-8 and be prepared for invalid output.

       If TShark detects that it is writing to a TTY on UNIX or Linux and the locale does not
       support UTF-8, output will be re-encoded to match the current locale.

       If TShark detects that it is writing to a TTY on Windows, output will be encoded as
       UTF-16LE.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       WIRESHARK_APPDATA
           On Windows, Wireshark normally stores all application data in %APPDATA% or
           %USERPROFILE%.  You can override the default location by exporting this environment
           variable to specify an alternate location.

       WIRESHARK_DEBUG_WMEM_OVERRIDE
           Setting this environment variable forces the wmem framework to use the specified
           allocator backend for *all* allocations, regardless of which backend is normally
           specified by the code. This is mainly useful to developers when testing or debugging.
           See README.wmem in the source distribution for details.

       WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY
           This environment variable causes the plugins and other data files to be loaded from
           the build directory (where the program was compiled) rather than from the standard
           locations.  It has no effect when the program in question is running with root (or
           setuid) permissions on *NIX.

       WIRESHARK_DATA_DIR
           This environment variable causes the various data files to be loaded from a directory
           other than the standard locations.  It has no effect when the program in question is
           running with root (or setuid) permissions on *NIX.

       ERF_RECORDS_TO_CHECK
           This environment variable controls the number of ERF records checked when deciding if
           a file really is in the ERF format.  Setting this environment variable a number higher
           than the default (20) would make false positives less likely.

       IPFIX_RECORDS_TO_CHECK
           This environment variable controls the number of IPFIX records checked when deciding
           if a file really is in the IPFIX format.  Setting this environment variable a number
           higher than the default (20) would make false positives less likely.

       WIRESHARK_ABORT_ON_DISSECTOR_BUG
           If this environment variable is set, TShark will call abort(3) when a dissector bug is
           encountered.  abort(3) will cause the program to exit abnormally; if you are running
           TShark in a debugger, it should halt in the debugger and allow inspection of the
           process, and, if you are not running it in a debugger, it will, on some OSes, assuming
           your environment is configured correctly, generate a core dump file.  This can be
           useful to developers attempting to troubleshoot a problem with a protocol dissector.

       WIRESHARK_ABORT_ON_TOO_MANY_ITEMS
           If this environment variable is set, TShark will call abort(3) if a dissector tries to
           add too many items to a tree (generally this is an indication of the dissector not
           breaking out of a loop soon enough).  abort(3) will cause the program to exit
           abnormally; if you are running TShark in a debugger, it should halt in the debugger
           and allow inspection of the process, and, if you are not running it in a debugger, it
           will, on some OSes, assuming your environment is configured correctly, generate a core
           dump file.  This can be useful to developers attempting to troubleshoot a problem with
           a protocol dissector.
