Running tshark without the -V option does often not show enough information to
determine what is in the protocols you are interested in.
Running tshark with the -V option gives you a dissection of all layers in a
protocol, giving too much data to quickly determine what is in the protocols
you are interested in.

The supplied patch adds a new option -O, which specifies a list of protocols
(names can be found with the "-G protocols" option) to be fully decoded while
the others only show the layer header.

For example, to show all the HTTP packets:

$ ./tshark -nr a.cap -V -O http
