Package: tcpdump Version: 3.9.8-4 Severity: wishlist Hi,
the -U flag is very useful, and would be even more useful if it flushed the output buffer after writing the header after opening the output file before writing out any packets. This would do away with error messages like: $ /usr/sbin/tcpdump -r yet-empty.pcap tcpdump: truncated dump file; tried to read 24 file header bytes, only got 0 Thanks, Feri. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-rc8 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tcpdump depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpcap0.8 0.9.8-5 system interface for user-level pa ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15+lenny1 SSL shared libraries tcpdump recommends no packages. tcpdump suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
