It is trivial, to take a tcpdump-generated file and subdivide it, i.e.

        tcpdump -r dumpfile -w outfile.1 'host 192.168.1.1'
        tcpdump -r dumpfile -w outfile.2 'host 192.168.1.2'

; is there a way to make the -w (or some other) option append to an
existing outfile, or concatenate results? E.g. one of

        tcpdump -r dumpfile1 dumpfile2 -w outfile.1 'host 192.168.1.1'
        tcpdump -r dumpfile1 -r dumpfile2 -w outfile.1 'host 192.168.1.1'

might sift out all packet to/from 192.168.1.1 from *both* dumpfile1
and dumpfile2,
and write them to outfile 1, or

        tcpdump -r dumpfile1 -w outfile.1 'host 192.168.1.1'

followed by one of

        tcpdump -r dumpfile2 -w outfile.1 'host 192.168.1.1'
        tcpdump -r dumpfile2 -ww outfile.1 'host 192.168.1.1'

to concatenate the matching data from dumpfile2 onto the existing
data in outfile.1 sifted out of dumpfile1 ?

Thanks for any info,
