NAME

6       captype - Prints the types of capture files

SYNOPSIS

9       capinfos <infile> ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Captypes is a program that opens one or more capture files and prints
13       the capture file type of each <infile>.
14
15       Capinfos is able to detect and read the same capture files that are
16       supported by Wireshark.  The input files don't need a specific filename
17       extension; the file format and an optional gzip compression will be
18       automatically detected.  Near the beginning of the DESCRIPTION section
19       of wireshark(1) or
20       <https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/wireshark.html> is a detailed
21       description of the way Wireshark handles this, which is the same way
22       Capinfos handles this.
