=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<Capinfos> is a program that reads one or more saved capture files and
returns any or all of several statistics about each file. B<Capinfos> is
able to detect and read any capture supported by the B<Ethereal> package.
B<Capinfos> can read the following file formats:
=over 4
=item *
libpcap/WinPcap, tcpdump and various other tools using tcpdump's capture format
=item *
B<snoop> and B<atmsnoop>
=item *
Shomiti/Finisar B<Surveyor> captures
=item *
Novell B<LANalyzer> captures
=item *
Microsoft B<Network Monitor> captures
=item *
AIX's B<iptrace> captures
=item *
Cinco Networks B<NetXRay> captures
=item *
Network Associates Windows-based B<Sniffer> captures
=item *
Network General/Network Associates DOS-based B<Sniffer> (compressed or uncompressed) captures
=item *
AG Group/WildPackets B<EtherPeek>/B<TokenPeek>/B<AiroPeek>/B<EtherHelp>/B<PacketGrabber> captures
=item *
B<RADCOM>'s WAN/LAN analyzer captures
=item *
Network Instruments B<Observer> version 9 captures
=item *
B<Lucent/Ascend> router debug output
=item *
files from HP-UX's B<nettl>
=item *
B<Toshiba's> ISDN routers dump output
=item *
the output from B<i4btrace> from the ISDN4BSD project
=item *
traces from the B<EyeSDN> USB S0.
=item *
the output in B<IPLog> format from the Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System
=item *
B<pppd logs> (pppdump format)
=item *
the output from VMS's B<TCPIPtrace>/B<TCPtrace>/B<UCX$TRACE> utilities
=item *
the text output from the B<DBS Etherwatch> VMS utility
=item *
Visual Networks' B<Visual UpTime> traffic capture
=item *
the output from B<CoSine> L2 debug
=item *
the output from Accellent's B<5Views> LAN agents
=item *
Endace Measurement Systems' ERF format captures
=item *
Linux Bluez Bluetooth stack B<hcidump -w> traces

There is no need to tell B<Capinfos> what type of
file you are reading; it will determine the file type by itself.
B<Capinfos> is also capable of reading any of these file formats if they
are compressed using gzip. B<Capinfos> recognizes this directly from the
file; the '.gz' extension is not required for this purpose.
The user specifies which statistics to report by specifying flags
corresponding to the statistic. If no flags are specified, B<Capinfos> will
report all statistics available.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item -t
Displays the capture type of the capture file.
=item -c
Counts the number of packets in the capture file.
=item -s
Displays the size of the file, in bytes. This reports
the size of the capture file itself.
=item -d
Displays the total length of all packets in the file, in
bytes. This counts the size of the packets as they appeared
in their original form, not as they appear in this file.
For example, if a packet was originally 1514 bytes and only
256 of those bytes were saved to the capture file (if packets
were captured with a snaplen or other slicing option),
B<Capinfos> will consider the packet to have been 1514 bytes.
=item -u
Displays the capture duration, in seconds. This is the
difference in time between the earliest packet seen and
latest packet seen.
=item -a
Displays the start time of the capture. B<Capinfos> considers
the earliest timestamp seen to be the start time, so the
first packet in the capture is not necessarily the earliest -
if packets exist "out-of-order", time-wise, in the capture,
B<Capinfos> detects this.
=item -e
Displays the end time of the capture. B<Capinfos> considers
the latest timestamp seen to be the end time, so the
last packet in the capture is not necessarily the latest -
if packets exist "out-of-order", time-wise, in the capture,
B<Capinfos> detects this.
=item -y
Displays the average data rate, in bytes
=item -i
Displays the average data rate, in bits
=item -z
displays the average packet size, in bytes
=item -h
Prints the help listing and exits.
