+
+Like Wireshark's B<Decode As...> feature, this lets you specify how a
+layer type should be dissected. If the layer type in question (for example,
+B<tcp.port> or B<udp.port> for a TCP or UDP port number) has the specified
+selector value, packets should be dissected as the specified protocol.
+
+Example: B<-d tcp.port==8888,http> will decode any traffic running over
+TCP port 8888 as HTTP.
+
+See the tshark(1) manual page for more examples.
