+If the B<-E> flag is used to specify a probability (between 0.0 and
+1.0 inclusive), Editcap uses that probability to apply errors to each
+data byte in the file.  For instance, a probability of 0.02 means that
+each byte has a 2% chance of having an error.  This option is meant to
+be used for fuzz-testing protocol dissectors.
