From 5ccc874dbedb74b791274c811d9b518bafc89a52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gilbert Ramirez Date: Tue, 6 Apr 1999 16:35:47 +0000 Subject: Touch-up fixes to my previous fix of making the packet-capture facility save to a file unknown to the user first. The manpage has now been updated to reflect the ability of the user to use the TMPDIR environment variable to change the location of this capture file. And now the capture file is deleted when ethereal exits, if the user has not saved the trace file. svn path=/trunk/; revision=243 --- doc/ethereal.pod | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/ethereal.pod b/doc/ethereal.pod index 84bf091203..e783d3a5c9 100644 --- a/doc/ethereal.pod +++ b/doc/ethereal.pod @@ -126,6 +126,10 @@ Sets the packet printing and filter options (see L<"Preferences"> below). =item Tools:Capture Initiates a live packet capture (see L<"Capture Preferences"> below). +A temporary file will be created to hold the capture.
