While attempting to answer a question[1] on ask.wireshark.org, I looked for the documentation for column format codes that may be used to customize tshark's output. After a few minutes of searching, it seemed to me that the only place they're documented was in the source code, which seems rather user-unfriendly. To fix this without adding a maintenance burden, I decided to add a "-G column-formats" option to tshark which prints all the format strings and descriptions using mostly existing code. I also added a description of that glossary to the tshark.pod file. Also, while I was in there, I noticed that several of the already existing glossary options (ftypes, heuristic-decodes and plugins) were missing from the documentation, so I've added those, too. Bug is filed with patch.[2]
