Hi all, one little-known aspect of Wireshark is that it ships with a bunch of command line tools: [https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/](https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/). One in particular that people use quite a bit is tshark, a command line version of Wireshark that lets you capture, generate reports, and quite a few other things. Stratoshark should have a similar CLI companion of course, so we now have [“strato”](https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/blob/master/doc/man_pages/strato.adoc).

It will ship with Stratoshark 0.9.3, which should be released in the near future.
