Hmmm, another reason to use getopts_long? Or instead of having -q
be a boolean give it an integer value, similiar to how other
programs set the debug level?

Unfortunately, no. There should probably be a flag to suppress the
printing of the results of packet dissection; I don't know whether the
existing "-q" flag should also do that or not - one could argue that
suppressing that is different from suppressing the count of packets
captured, and therefore that a new flag would be a good idea, but I
could see "-q" used for that.
