Hi,

In thinking about generating trace files from ethereal, I started looking 
at some infrastructure ...

I notice that many option flags are taken ... t and T are taken :-)

u/U are not. Can anyone suggest a better set of flags to use.

I need to specify that tracing be switched on and go to a particular file.

I also think I want to prefix each tracing line with the protocol:

CIFS: ntctreatex <path> <allocation> <flags> etc
NFSv3: readdirplus ...

I was thinking of adding code to do this, but given that most of the info 
is in the proto tree, there might be a simple way to achieve this as well.

Any comments?

Regards
