Add a new option -O, --overwrite which allows to rotate capture files. The timestamp in the file name is replaced with a number that wraps around after reaching the specified number of files.

2015-06-18netsniff-ng: Add cooked cmdline option.Vadim Kochan1-4/+16

2015-04-27netsniff-ng: Rotate pcap files prematurely on SIGHUPTobias Klauser1-6/+8
Allow to send SIGHUP to a running netsniff-ng process, causing it to prematurely rotate the output PCAP when the output device (-o/--out) is a directory. The rotating interval (time/file size) will be reset. Suggested by dcode in #140 Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>

2015-01-26netsniff: Allow filter input pcap file to output pcapVadim Kochan1-4/+5
It might be useful to filter out interesting traffic from input pcap to output pcap file which will contain only filtered packets: $ netsniff-ng -i input.pcap -o output.pcap ip src 192.168.1.198 Now it is possible by specifying output pcap file with ".pcap" extension, otherwise the trafgen file will be generated as by default.
