...but libpcap may be considered to supply the authoritative definition of the format? > Is "-capture" necessary, though? Would you suggest just "pcap"? I'm afraid that's not enough information for someone who sees the type name for the first time to guess what it's for. Maybe "pcap-savefile" -- that's the name you gave to the manpage. I'm not strongly attached to my suggestion: I'm perfectly fine with Michael's proposal (application/pcap-capture) or whatever else if it is the consensus. -Phil - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
