Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Launching wireshark from command line

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Open up a command window and enter wireshark -h. That will show you what you can 
do on the command line. Furhter info is in the wireshark manual page, which can 
be found as HTML in the Win32 distribution.

Thanx,
Jaap
