Yes, that is I decided to to know.  10 files with 50MB each.

Other question:  What do I need to do on the Macintosh to be able to  
see the man page ?

<snip>
bml0028:~ janos$ man dumpcap
No manual entry for dumpcap
bml0028:~ janos$ dumpcap
File: /var/folders/+-/+-ACK3hJGqqjTkEeMlaXRE+++TI/-Tmp-// 
wiresharkqEkT0jiXlJ
^CPackets dropped: 0

Uhh...  I am running WireShark :-)

So the OS is seeing dumpcap, but nut the man pages.

János
