Dear Sirs

I need to do a file script that run ethereal from command line. Please tell
me the parameter to put in ethereal to decode the protocol.
For example: ethereal file.in file.out (what parameter I need to put? For
ethereal translate file.out  to a text file with protocol decoded).
Thank you.

with kind regards
João Pereira Rosa
