This is README, produced by makeinfo version 4.7 from README.texinfo.

   tcpick is a textmode sniffer libpcap-based that can track tcp streams
and saves the captured data in files or displays them in the terminal.
Useful for picking files in a passive way.  It can store all
connections data in different files, or it can display all the stream
on the terminal, when the connection is closed.  There are useful
display modes like hexdump, hexdump + ascii, only printable
charachters, raw mode and so on. Available a color mode too, helpful to
read better the output of the program.  Actually it can handle eth and
ppp interfaces.  It is useful to keep track of what users of a network
are doing, and is usable with textmode tools like grep, sed, awk.

   For example, this command displays all HTTP GET requests:

     # tcpick -i ppp0 -yP | grep GET

   Please read the manpage for further details.
