+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<udpdump> is a extcap tool that provides an UDP receiver that listens for exported datagrams coming from
+any source (like Aruba routers) and exports them in PCAP format. This provides the user two basic
+functionalities: the first one is to have a listener that prevents the localhost to send back an ICMP
+port-unreachable packet. The second one is to strip out the lower layers (layer 2, IP, UDP) that are useless
+(are used just as export vector). The format of the exported datagrams are EXPORTED_PDU, as specified in
+https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/raw/master/epan/exported_pdu.h

+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+To see program arguments:
+
+    udpdump --help
+
+To see program version:
+
+    udpdump --version
+
+To see interfaces:
+
+    udpdump --extcap-interfaces
+
+  Example output:
+    interface {value=udpdump}{display=UDP Listener remote capture}
+
+To see interface DLTs:
+
+    udpdump --extcap-interface=udpdump --extcap-dlts
+
+  Example output:
+    dlt {number=252}{name=udpdump}{display=Exported PDUs}
+
+To see interface configuration options:
+
+    udpdump --extcap-interface=udpdump --extcap-config
+
+  Example output:
+    arg {number=0}{call=--port}{display=Listen port}{type=unsigned}{range=1,65535}{default=5555}{tooltip=The port the receiver listens on}
+
+To capture:
+
+    udpdump --extcap-interface=randpkt --fifo=/tmp/randpkt.pcapng --capture
+
+NOTE: To stop capturing CTRL+C/kill/terminate application.
