+captype - Prints the types of capture files
+

+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+*Captype* is a program that opens one or more capture files and
+prints the capture file type of each <__infile__>.
+
+*Captype* is able to detect and read the same capture files that are
+supported by *Wireshark*.
+The input files don't need a specific filename extension; the file
+format and an optional gzip, zstd or lz4 compression will be automatically detected.
+Near the beginning of the DESCRIPTION section of xref:wireshark.html[wireshark](1) or
+https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/wireshark.html
+is a detailed description of the way *Wireshark* handles this, which is
+the same way *Captype* handles this.
+
