dumpcap -c caveat [Re: Can I get Wireshark to capture constantly, but not count to infinity ?]

[Gregorio Tomas Focaccio <public.focaccio () gmail com>]

Be aware that the -c argument appears to be absolute and overrides any of
the ring buffer arguments.  My command: dumpcap -b duration:1800 files:5 -i
4 -c 5000 -w 915PBLbr0 stopped at 5000 packets and did not start writing to
the next file.  My new, and hopefully final command for capturing all packet
seen by the 4th interface of dumpcap -D list to a ring-buffer of 5 files
with a capture duration of 30 minutes each is:  dumpcap -b duration:1800
files:5 -i 4 -w 915PBLbr0
