When I use a terminal and issue the command:
$ /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark -h

or any other command line option, it seems to have no effect - instead of
displaying the Help (as expected and described in
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChCustCommandLine.html) the
Application simply starts.

I am trying to make GNS3 open Wireshark files when running under OSX - just
like it does for PC (and Linux).  However, no matter what command options I
put, I can't get the file to open - Wireshark starts - but no file is opened.

Eg
$ /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark -r
/Sources/Captures/GNS3/SW1_to_SW2.cap 
2010-12-19 12:30:50.546 defaults[43479:903] 
The domain/default pair of (kCFPreferencesAnyApplication, AppleHighlightColor)
does not exist

(process:43461): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
    Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(wireshark-bin:43461): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in

[And the Wireshark application is opened at the main start screen - NO file
loaded, and the file DOES exist]
