I never figured out in which cases to chop of a fixed amount of bytes of the
end of the packet, but I do understand the usefulness of chopping of an amount
of bytes from the beginning.
Would it be an idea to use -C for both and change it's behavior to do the
following:
- a positive value will chop off that amount of bytes from the beginning of the
packet
- a negative value will chop off the (absolute) amount of bytes from the end of
the packet
That would change the behavior of the current implementation of -C, but it will
adhere more to general use of negative and positive values when it comes to
chopping. And I doubt if the feature is used much in its current form.
