-== DESCRIPTION
-
-*randpktdump* is a extcap tool that provides access to the random
-packet generator (randpkt). It is mainly used for testing and
-educational purpose.
-
-== OPTIONS
-
---help::
-Print program arguments.
-
---version::
-Print program version.
-
---extcap-interfaces::
-List available interfaces.
-
---extcap-interface=<interface>::
-Use specified interfaces.
-
---extcap-dlts::
-List DLTs of specified interface.
-
---extcap-config::
-List configuration options of specified interface.
-
---capture::
-Start capturing from specified interface save saved it in place specified by --fifo.
-
---fifo=<path to file or pipe>::
-Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe.
-
---maxbytes=<bytes>::
-Set the max number of bytes per packet.
-
---count=<num>::
-Number of packets to generate (-1 for infinite).
-
---delay=<ms>::
-Wait a number of milliseconds after writing each packet.
-
---random-type::
-Choose a random packet type for all packets if set to true.
-
---all-random::
-Choose a different random packet type for each packet if set to true.
-
---type=<packet type>::
-Use the selected packet type. To list all the available packet type, run randpktdump --help.
-

-
-To capture:
-
- randpktdump --extcap-interface=randpkt --fifo=/tmp/randpkt.pcapng --capture
-
-NOTE: To stop capturing CTRL+C/kill/terminate the application.
