Anders,

Thanks for the update. 

Still regarding the if_filter option: should we allow this option to be
repeated?  I'm asking this because I think it should be a good idea to also
store the wireshark's display filters.

  tshark -R "<display filter here>" -r in.pcapng -w out.pcapng

Would it make sense to allow n display filters (keep the ones in the source
file add add the new one to the output file) ?

  tshark -R "<second display filter here>" -r out.pcapng -w out2.pcapng

Note: The display filter needs to be registered ( 0 = lipbpcap filter string, 1
= libpcap byte code, 2 = wireshark display filter string ? )
