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.
