CAPTYPE(1)   CAPTYPE(1)

captype - Prints the types of capture files

captype-h ] [ -v ] <infile> ...

Captype is a program that opens one or more capture files and prints the capture file type of each <infile>.

Captype is able to detect and read the same capture files that are supported by Wireshark. The input files don’t need a specific filename extension; the file format and an optional gzip, zstd or lz4 compression will be automatically detected. Near the beginning of the DESCRIPTION section of wireshark(1) or <https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/wireshark.html> is a detailed description of the way Wireshark handles this, which is the same way Captype handles this.
