Print program arguments.

Print program version.

List available interfaces.

Use specified interfaces.

List DLTs of specified interface.

List configuration options of specified interface.

The capture filter. It corresponds to the value provided via the tshark -f option, and the Capture Filter field next to the interfaces list in the Stratoshark interface.

Start capturing from specified interface and write raw packet data to the location specified by --fifo.

Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe.

The address of the remote host for capture.

The SSH port of the remote host.

The username for SSH authentication.

The password to use (if not ssh-agent and pubkey are used). WARNING: the passwords are stored in plaintext and visible to all users on this system. It is recommended to use keyfiles with a SSH agent.

The path to a private key for authentication. NOTE: Only OPENSSH key/value pair format is supported.

The passphrase for the private key for authentication.

The command to use as proxy for the SSH connection.

The command to run on the remote system. Either sysdig for a remote capture command using sysdig, or other, where the remote capture command must be provided with the --remote-capture-command option.

A custom remote capture command that produces the remote stream that is shown in Stratoshark. The command must be able to produce a .scap stream written to STDOUT.

The command to use to achieve privilege elevation to capture on the remote host. Either none, sudo or doas.

If a command is used to achieve privilege elevation to capture on the remote host requires a user name it may be provided here.

The remote capture filter. This is passed to the remote capture program, and must comply with its syntax rules.

The number of events to capture.

Capture using an eBPF probe instead of the kernel module.

The number of bytes to capture in each I/O event.
