Customizing Ethereal

 

 

 

 

data for each packet.

-S

This option specifies that Ethereal will display packets as it

 

captures them. This is done by capturing in one process and

 

displaying them in a separate process. This is the same as "Up-

 

date list of packets in real time" in the Capture Options dialog

 

box.

-t <time stamp format>

This option sets the format of packet timestamps that are dis-

 

played in the packet list window. The format can be one of:

 

r relative, which specifies timestamps are displayed relat-

 

ive to the first packet captured.

 

a absolute, which specifies that actual times be displayed

 

for all packets.

 

ad absolute with date, which specifies that actual dates

 

and times be displayed for all packets.

 

d delta, which specifies that timestamps are relative to the

 

previous packet.

-v

The -voption requests Ethereal to print out its version in-

 

formation and exit.

-w <savefile>

This option sets the name of the savefile to be used when sav-

 

ing a capture file.

-y <capture link type>

If a capture is started from the command line with -k, set the

 

data link type to use while capturing packets. The values re-

 

ported by -L are the values that can be used.

-z <statistics-string>

Get Ethereal to collect various types of statistics and display

 

the result in a window that updates in semi-real time. XXX -
