The input file doesn't need a specific filename extension; the file format and an optional gzip compression will be detected automatically. Near the beginning of the \s-1DESCRIPTION\s0 section of \fBwireshark\fR\|(1) or is a detailed description of the way \fBWireshark\fR handles this, which is the same way \fBreordercap\fR handles this. .SH "OPTIONS" .IX Header "OPTIONS" .IP "\-n" 4 .IX Item "-n" When the \fB\-n\fR option is used, \fBreordercap\fR will not write out the output file if it finds that the input file is already in order. .IP "\-v" 4 .IX Item "-v" Print the version and exit. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBpcap\fR\|(3), \fBwireshark\fR\|(1), \fBtshark\fR\|(1), \fBdumpcap\fR\|(1), \fBeditcap\fR\|(1), \fBmergecap\fR\|(1), \&\fBtext2pcap\fR\|(1), \fBpcap\-filter\fR\|(7) or \fBtcpdump\fR\|(8) .SH "NOTES" .IX Header "NOTES" \&\fBReordercap\fR is part of the \fBWireshark\fR distribution.
