You are correct. I still prefer it my way.

This helped me tremendously, and the more common "error" for me is getting a damaged pcap files rather than mistyping the command.

If the user mistyped the pathname of a file, it only saves them time if the contents of the file whose pathname they typed didn't need to be in the resulting file.  If they *did* expect that file's packets to be in the file, they end up with a file that doesn't contain what they think it did....
