To answer a question on the -users list I was trying to get tshark to use a
ringbuffer while decoding the messages to stdout. My first attempt was:
tshark -b filesize:10 -b files:5 -nV -w /tmp/foo
It didn't work so I thought I'd suggest that the user open an enhancement to
make tshark be able to (like the GUI) use a ring buffer while decoding the
packets.
Then I happened to trip onto the "-S" option and when I added that option I got
what I (actually what the user) wanted.
Should specifying options regarding how to display the packets imply that
should actually display them? Or should we error out if -V or -x is present
and 'print_packet_info' is FALSE?
I don't have time to finish thinking about this now, thus the bug report.
