Excellent. Works a treat. Thanks very much. While you are there, could
you cast your eyes over this extension to your fix to allow for the
"files:value" criteria too.  This works but requires multiple uses of
the -b flag (rather than the -b and -a flags).

	./tshark  -w ~/test.cap  -b files:3 -b duration:5

Is that what was intended?


          if (!capture_opts.has_autostop_filesize &&
              !capture_opts.has_file_duration     &&
              !capture_opts.has_ring_num_files    ) {
            cmdarg_err("Multiple capture files requested, but "
              "no capture ring buffer criteria  specified.");
            exit(1);
          }


Cheers

Alistair
