Build Information:

At the moment, the -z io,stat option in tshark can be a bit difficult to parse
because it presents counters in a friendly, human-like output where the actual
stats being requested are delimited cleanly but the line they are found in is
variable, and dependent on the number of display filters being requested by the
user.

While it's not the end of the world to write a script that accounts for the
dynamic output, I think it would probably be easier if this command returned
just the stats requested in a delimited line, and perhaps also a line
explaining the columns for when the command is being used by humans. Also, the
output as it is right now is genuinely hard to read when you're asking for many
stats, since the extra ASCII art before and after stats can fill up two or more
lines on a screen when it's being run by a human.
