Bug#165157: tcpdump: add a tee-like mode

2013-06-28 Thread Romain Francoise
Hi Roland,

Roland Stigge sti...@antcom.de writes:

 you can do like this:

 # tcpdump -i eth0 -w - | tee outout.pcap | tcpdump -r

 Works fine and is the traditional Unix approach: Use existing small
 tools and combine them (e.g. via a pipe), instead of re-implementing the
 features of one of them into the other.

Right, and with -U for the first tcpdump instance it's even nicer.

 Romain, for you as the package maintainer, I suggest you can safely
 close this bug, since a simple solution is already available.

Will do, thanks!
