Lucent Technologies Ethereal manual Font, Name resolving flags, Preference/recent settings, Infile

	Customizing Ethereal
-m <font>	This option sets the name of the font used for most text dis-
	played by Ethereal. XXX - add an example!
-n	Disable network object name resolution (such as hostname,
	TCP and UDP port names).
-N <name resolving flags>	Turns on name resolving for particular types of addresses and
	port numbers; the argument is a string that may contain the
	letters m to enable MAC address resolution, n to enable net-
	work address resolution, and t to enable transport-layer port
	number resolution. This overrides -nif both -Nand -nare
	present. The letter C enables concurrent (asynchronous) DNS
	lookups.
-o <preference/recent settings>	Sets a preference or recent value, overriding the default value
	and any value read from a preference/recent file. The argu-
	ment to the flag 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/recent file), and
	value is the value to which it should be set. Multiple instances
	of -o <preference settings> can be given on a single com-
	mand line.
	An example of setting a single preference would be:
	ethereal -o mgcp.display_dissect_tree:TRUE
	An example of setting multiple preferences would be:
	ethereal	-o	mgcp.display_dissect_tree:TRUE	-o
	mgcp.udp.callagent_port:2627
		Tip!
		You can get a list of all available preference
		strings from the preferences file, see Ap-
		pendix A, Configuration (and other) Files and
		Folders.
-p	Don't put the interface into promiscuous mode. Note that the
	interface might be in promiscuous mode for some other reas-
	on; hence, -p cannot be used to ensure that the only traffic
	that is captured is traffic sent to or from the machine on
	which Ethereal is running, broadcast traffic, and multicast
	traffic to addresses received by that machine.
-Q	This option forces Ethereal to exit when capturing is com-
	plete. It can be used with the -coption. It must be used in
	conjunction with the -iand -woptions.
-r <infile>	This option provides the name of a capture file for Ethereal to
	read and display. This capture file can be in one of the
	formats Ethereal understands.
-R <read (display) filter>	This option specifies a display filter to be applied when read-
	ing packets from a capture file. The syntax of this filter is that
	of the display filters discussed in Section 6.2, “Filtering pack-
	ets while viewing”. Packets not matching the filter are dis-
	carded.
-s <capture snaplen>	This option specifies the snapshot length to use when captur-
	ing packets. Ethereal will only capture <snaplen> bytes of
