Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Slice a big file into small chunks, at frame boundaries

[Stef <stefmit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there an equivalent of mergecap, in the "opposite" direction" ? I
have tried something like:

$tethereal -r <big_file.cap> -a filesize:5000 -b 0 -w <small_chunks.cap>

but it does not work as if it would have, if reading out of an
interface (i.e. tethereal -i <if> -a ... bla,bla). The
<small_chunks.cap> ends up as a single file, with same size as
<big_file.cap>.

TIA,
Stef
