We just got another bug on what I believe is exactly the same issue: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8529 Do we have at least a rough consensus on what the correct behaviour is? On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 7:48 AM, Evan Huus <eapache () gmail com> wrote:

In fact, that makes me think there might even be a use-case for specifying both a read and a display filter, separately, in tshark. So to bring it back full-circle, does anyone object to making the new ability to include dependent frames in exported info as a new '-Y <display filter>' option? (the 'Y' is for 'displaY', Wireshark's '-d' is used for something else in tshark)I would think it would be better to move the current -d to something else. Command-line flags should be consistent between Wireshark and Tshark, at least where they have the same meaing.It would not support live capture, only file input. It would not print out the dependents to stdout, but would to PDML/CSV/whatever. Similar to the current -R option, -Y would not re-number the frames, which -2 does do. If both "-R <read filter>' and '-Y <display-filter>' are specified, then it would run the read filter on the first pass, and the display on the second pass. For example, this would let you do things like: tshark -r input.pcap -R 'eth.src==00:10:20:30:40:50' -Y 'mp2t' -w output.pcap ...and you would get the mp2t frames and their dependent fragments, but only for ones from that source Ethernet MAC address. The other question is if it should deprecate the '-2', or if '-2' should be left as it is now.My understanding would be that we would end up with -R for read filters, -d for display filters and -2 which can be added to either for two-pass analysis (which also enables the reassembly exporting). There should be no need for an additional flag except as something to move the current -d to. Evan
