<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><strong>Wireshark</strong> is a GUI network protocol analyzer.  It lets you
interactively browse packet data from a live network or from a
previously saved capture file.  <strong>Wireshark</strong>'s native capture file format
is <strong>libpcap</strong> format, which is also the format used by <strong>tcpdump</strong> and
various other tools.</p>

<p>There is no need to tell <strong>Wireshark</strong> what type of
file you are reading; it will determine the file type by itself.
<strong>Wireshark</strong> is also capable of reading any of these file formats if they
are compressed using gzip.  <strong>Wireshark</strong> recognizes this directly from
the file; the '.gz' extension is not required for this purpose.</p>
<p>Like other protocol analyzers, <strong>Wireshark</strong>'s main window shows 3 views
of a packet.  It shows a summary line, briefly describing what the
packet is.  A packet details display is shown, allowing you to drill
down to exact protocol or field that you interested in.  Finally, a hex
dump shows you exactly what the packet looks like when it goes over the
wire.</p>
<p>In addition, <strong>Wireshark</strong> has some features that make it unique.  It can
assemble all the packets in a TCP conversation and show you the ASCII
(or EBCDIC, or hex) data in that conversation.  Display filters in
<strong>Wireshark</strong> are very powerful; more fields are filterable in <strong>Wireshark</strong>
than in other protocol analyzers, and the syntax you can use to create
your filters is richer.  As <strong>Wireshark</strong> progresses, expect more and more
protocol fields to be allowed in display filters.</p>
<p>Packet capturing is performed with the pcap library.  The capture filter
syntax follows the rules of the pcap library.  This syntax is different
from the display filter syntax.</p>
<p>Compressed file support uses (and therefore requires) the zlib library.
If the zlib library is not present, <strong>Wireshark</strong> will compile, but will
be unable to read compressed files.</p>
<p>The pathname of a capture file to be read can be specified with the
<strong>-r</strong> option or can be specified as a command-line argument.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1>
<p>Most users will want to start <strong>Wireshark</strong> without options and configure
it from the menus instead. Those users may just skip this section.</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="a_capture_autostop_condition" class="item">-a  &lt;capture autostop condition&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Specify a criterion that specifies when <strong>Wireshark</strong> is to stop writing
to a capture file.  The criterion is of the form <em>test</em><strong>:</strong><em>value</em>,
where <em>test</em> is one of:</p>
<p><strong>duration</strong>:<em>value</em> Stop writing to a capture file after <em>value</em> seconds have
elapsed.</p>
<p><strong>filesize</strong>:<em>value</em> Stop writing to a capture file after it reaches a size of
<em>value</em> kilobytes (where a kilobyte is 1024 bytes). If this option is used
together with the -b option, Wireshark will stop writing to the current
capture file and switch to the next one if filesize is reached.</p>
<p><strong>files</strong>:<em>value</em> Stop writing to capture files after <em>value</em> number of files
were written.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="b_capture_ring_buffer_option" class="item">-b  &lt;capture ring buffer option&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Cause <strong>Wireshark</strong> to run in &quot;multiple files&quot; mode.  In &quot;multiple files&quot; mode,
<strong>Wireshark</strong> will write to several capture files. When the first capture file
fills up, <strong>Wireshark</strong> will switch writing to the next file and so on.</p>
<p>The created filenames are based on the filename given with the <strong>-w</strong> flag,
the number of the file and on the creation date and time,
e.g. outfile_00001_20050604120117.pcap, outfile_00002_20050604120523.pcap, ...</p>
<p>With the <em>files</em> option it's also possible to form a &quot;ring buffer&quot;.
This will fill up new files until the number of files specified,
at which point <strong>Wireshark</strong> will discard the data in the first file and start
writing to that file and so on. If the <em>files</em> option is not set,
new files filled up until one of the capture stop conditions match (or
until the disk is full).</p>
<p>The criterion is of the form <em>key</em><strong>:</strong><em>value</em>,
where <em>key</em> is one of:</p>
<p><strong>duration</strong>:<em>value</em> switch to the next file after <em>value</em> seconds have
elapsed, even if the current file is not completely filled up.</p>
<p><strong>filesize</strong>:<em>value</em> switch to the next file after it reaches a size of
<em>value</em> kilobytes (where a kilobyte is 1024 bytes).</p>
<p><strong>files</strong>:<em>value</em> begin again with the first file after <em>value</em> number of
files were written (form a ring buffer).  This value must be less than 100000.
Caution should be used when using large numbers of files: some filesystems do
not handle many files in a single directory well.  The <strong>files</strong> criterion
requires either <strong>duration</strong> or <strong>filesize</strong> to be specified to control when to
go to the next file.  It should be noted that each <strong>-b</strong> parameter takes exactly
one criterion; to specify two criterion, each must be preceded by the <strong>-b</strong>
option.</p>
<p>Example: <strong>-b filesize:1024 -b files:5</strong> results in a ring buffer of five files
of size one megabyte.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="b_capture_buffer_size" class="item">-B  &lt;capture buffer size&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Set capture buffer size (in MB, default is 1MB).  This is used by the
the capture driver to buffer packet data until that data can be written
to disk.  If you encounter packet drops while capturing, try to increase
this size.  Note that, while <strong>Tshark</strong> attempts to set the buffer size
to 1MB by default, and can be told to set it to a larger value, the
system or interface on which you're capturing might silently limit the
capture buffer size to a lower value or raise it to a higher value.</p>
<p>This is available on UNIX systems with libpcap 1.0.0 or later and on
Windows.  It is not available on UNIX systems with earlier versions of
libpcap.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="c_capture_packet_count" class="item">-c  &lt;capture packet count&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Set the maximum number of packets to read when capturing live
data.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="c_configuration_profile" class="item">-C  &lt;configuration profile&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Start with the given configuration profile.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="d" class="item">-D</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Print a list of the interfaces on which <strong>Wireshark</strong> can capture, and
exit.  For each network interface, a number and an
interface name, possibly followed by a text description of the
interface, is printed.  The interface name or the number can be supplied
to the <strong>-i</strong> flag to specify an interface on which to capture.</p>
<p>This can be useful on systems that don't have a command to list them
(e.g., Windows systems, or UNIX systems lacking <strong>ifconfig -a</strong>);
the number can be useful on Windows 2000 and later systems, where the
interface name is a somewhat complex string.</p>
<p>Note that &quot;can capture&quot; means that <strong>Wireshark</strong> was able to open
that device to do a live capture; if, on your system, a program doing a
network capture must be run from an account with special privileges (for
example, as root), then, if <strong>Wireshark</strong> is run with the <strong>-D</strong> flag and
is not run from such an account, it will not list any interfaces.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="display_x_display_to_use" class="item">--display=&lt;X display to use&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Specifies the X display to use.  A hostname and screen (otherhost:0.0)
or just a screen (:0.0) can be specified.  This option is not available
under Windows.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="f_capture_filter" class="item">-f  &lt;capture filter&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Set the capture filter expression.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="g_packet_number" class="item">-g  &lt;packet number&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>After reading in a capture file using the <strong>-r</strong> flag, go to the given <em>packet number</em>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="h" class="item">-h</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Print the version and options and exit.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="h" class="item">-H</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Hide the capture info dialog during live packet capture.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="i_capture_interface" class="item">-i  &lt;capture interface&gt;|-</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Set the name of the network interface or pipe to use for live packet
capture.</p>
<p>Network interface names should match one of the names listed in
&quot;<strong>wireshark -D</strong>&quot; (described above); a number, as reported by
&quot;<strong>wireshark -D</strong>&quot;, can also be used.  If you're using UNIX, &quot;<strong>netstat
-i</strong>&quot; or &quot;<strong>ifconfig -a</strong>&quot; might also work to list interface names,
although not all versions of UNIX support the <strong>-a</strong> flag to <strong>ifconfig</strong>.</p>
<p>If no interface is specified, <strong>Wireshark</strong> searches the list of
interfaces, choosing the first non-loopback interface if there are any
non-loopback interfaces, and choosing the first loopback interface if
there are no non-loopback interfaces. If there are no interfaces at all,
<strong>Wireshark</strong> reports an error and doesn't start the capture.</p>
<p>Pipe names should be either the name of a FIFO (named pipe) or ``-'' to
read data from the standard input. On Windows systems, pipe names must be
of the form ``\\pipe\.\<strong>pipename</strong>''. Data read from pipes must be in
standard libpcap format.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="j_jump_filter" class="item">-J  &lt;jump filter&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>After reading in a capture file using the <strong>-r</strong> flag, jump to the packet
matching the filter (display filter syntax). If no exact match is found
the first packet after that is selected.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="j" class="item">-j</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Use after <strong>-J</strong> to change the behavior when no exact match is found for
the filter. With this option select the first packet before.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="k" class="item">-k</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Start the capture session immediately.  If the <strong>-i</strong> flag was
specified, the capture uses the specified interface.  Otherwise,
<strong>Wireshark</strong> searches the list of interfaces, choosing the first
non-loopback interface if there are any non-loopback interfaces, and
choosing the first loopback interface if there are no non-loopback
interfaces; if there are no interfaces, <strong>Wireshark</strong> reports an error and
doesn't start the capture.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="k_keytab" class="item">-K  &lt;keytab&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Load kerberos crypto keys from the specified keytab file.
This option can be used multiple times to load keys from several files.</p>
<p>Example: <strong>-K krb5.keytab</strong></p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="l" class="item">-l</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Turn on automatic scrolling if the packet display is being updated
automatically as packets arrive during a capture (as specified by the
<strong>-S</strong> flag).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="l" class="item">-L</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>List the data link types supported by the interface and exit.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="m_font" class="item">-m  &lt;font&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Set the name of the font used by <strong>Wireshark</strong> for most text.  <strong>Wireshark</strong>
will construct the name of the bold font used for the data in the byte
view pane that corresponds to the field selected in the packet details
pane from the name of the main text font.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="n" class="item">-n</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Disable network object name resolution (such as hostname, TCP and UDP port
names), the <strong>-N</strong> flag might override this one.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="n_name_resolving_flags" class="item">-N  &lt;name resolving flags&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Turn on name resolving only for particular types of addresses and port
numbers, with name resolving for other types of addresses and port
numbers turned off. This flag overrides <strong>-n</strong> if both <strong>-N</strong> and <strong>-n</strong> are
present. If both <strong>-N</strong> and <strong>-n</strong> flags are not present, all name resolutions are
turned on.</p>
<p>The argument is a string that may contain the letters:</p>
<p><strong>m</strong> to enable MAC address resolution</p>
<p><strong>n</strong> to enable network address resolution</p>
<p><strong>t</strong> to enable transport-layer port number resolution</p>
<p><strong>C</strong> to enable concurrent (asynchronous) DNS lookups</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="o_preference_recent_setting" class="item">-o  &lt;preference/recent setting&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Set a preference or recent value, overriding the default value and any value
read from a preference/recent file. The argument to the flag is a string of
the form <em>prefname</em><strong>:</strong><em>value</em>, where <em>prefname</em> is the name of the
preference/recent value (which is the same name that would appear in the
preference/recent file), and <em>value</em> is the value to which it should be set.
Since <strong>Ethereal</strong> 0.10.12, the recent settings replaces the formerly used
-B, -P and -T flags to manipulate the GUI dimensions.</p>
<p>If <em>prefname</em> is &quot;uat&quot;, you can override settings in various user access
tables using the form uat<strong>:</strong><em>uat filename</em>:<em>uat record</em>. <em>uat filename</em>
must be the name of a UAT file, e.g. <em>user_dlts</em>. <em>uat_record</em> must be in
the form of a valid record for that file, including quotes. For instance, to
specify a user DLT from the command line, you would use</p>
<p>-o &quot;uat:user_dlts:\&quot;User 0 (DLT=147)\&quot;,\&quot;cops\&quot;,\&quot;0\&quot;,\&quot;\&quot;,\&quot;0\&quot;,\&quot;\&quot;&quot;</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="p" class="item">-p</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p><em>Don't</em> put the interface into promiscuous mode.  Note that the
interface might be in promiscuous mode for some other reason; hence,
<strong>-p</strong> cannot be used to ensure that the only traffic that is captured is
traffic sent to or from the machine on which <strong>Wireshark</strong> is running,
broadcast traffic, and multicast traffic to addresses received by that
machine.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="p_path_setting" class="item">-P &lt;path setting&gt;</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Special path settings usually detected automatically. This is used for
special cases, e.g. starting Wireshark from a known location on an USB stick.</p>
<p>The criterion is of the form <em>key</em><strong>:</strong><em>path</em>, where <em>key</em> is one of:</p>
<p><strong>persconf</strong>:<em>path</em> path of personal configuration files, like the
preferences files.</p>
<p><strong>persdata</strong>:<em>path</em> path of personal data files, it's the folder initially
opened. After the very first initialization, the recent file will keep the
folder last used.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="q" class="item">-Q</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>Cause <strong>Wireshark</strong> to exit after the end of capture session (useful in
batch mode with <strong>-c</strong> option for instance); this option requires the
<strong>-i</strong> and <strong>-w</strong> parameters.</p>

<dd>
<p>When reading a capture file specified with the <strong>-r</strong> flag, causes the

<dd>
<p>Set the default snapshot length to use when capturing live data.
No more than <em>snaplen</em> bytes of each network packet will be read into
memory, or saved to disk.  A value of 0 specifies a snapshot length of
65535, so that the full packet is captured; this is the default.</p>

<dd>
<p>Open a window where up to 5 graphs in different colors can be displayed
to indicate number of packets or number of bytes per second for all packets
matching the specified filter.
By default only one graph will be displayed showing number of packets per second.</p>
<p>The top part of the window contains the graphs and scales for the X and
Y axis.  If the graph is too long to fit inside the window there is a
horizontal scrollbar below the drawing area that can scroll the graphs
to the left or the right.  The horizontal axis displays the time into
the capture and the vertical axis will display the measured quantity at
that time.</p>
<p>Below the drawing area and the scrollbar are the controls.  On the
bottom left there will be five similar sets of controls to control each
individual graph such as &quot;Display:&lt;button&gt;&quot; which button will toggle
that individual graph on/off.  If &lt;button&gt; is ticked, the graph will be
displayed.  &quot;Color:&lt;color&gt;&quot; which is just a button to show which color
will be used to draw that graph (color is only available in Gtk2
version) and finally &quot;Filter:&lt;filter-text&gt;&quot; which can be used to specify
a display filter for that particular graph.</p>
<p>If filter-text is empty then all packets will be used to calculate the
quantity for that graph.  If filter-text is specified only those packets
that match that display filter will be considered in the calculation of
quantity.</p>
<p>To the right of the 5 graph controls there are four menus to control
global aspects of the draw area and graphs.  The &quot;Unit:&quot; menu is used to
control what to measure; &quot;packets/tick&quot;, &quot;bytes/tick&quot; or &quot;advanced...&quot;</p>
<p>packets/tick will measure the number of packets matching the (if
specified) display filter for the graph in each measurement interval.</p>
<p>bytes/tick will measure the total number of bytes in all packets matching
the (if specified) display filter for the graph in each measurement
interval.</p>
<p>advanced... see below</p>
<p>&quot;Tick interval:&quot; specifies what measurement intervals to use.  The
default is 1 second and means that the data will be counted over 1
second intervals.</p>
<p>&quot;Pixels per tick:&quot; specifies how many pixels wide each measurement
interval will be in the drawing area.  The default is 5 pixels per tick.</p>
<p>&quot;Y-scale:&quot; controls the max value for the y-axis.  Default value is
&quot;auto&quot; which means that <strong>Wireshark</strong> will try to adjust the maxvalue
automatically.</p>
<p>&quot;advanced...&quot; If Unit:advanced...  is selected the window will display
two more controls for each of the five graphs.  One control will be a
menu where the type of calculation can be selected from
SUM,COUNT,MAX,MIN,AVG and LOAD, and one control, textbox, where the name of a
single display filter field can be specified.</p>
<p>The following restrictions apply to type and field combinations:</p>
<p>SUM: available for all types of integers and will calculate the SUM of
all occurrences of this field in the measurement interval.  Note that
some field can occur multiple times in the same packet and then all
instances will be summed up.  Example: 'tcp.len' which will count the
amount of payload data transferred across TCP in each interval.</p>
<p>COUNT: available for all field types. This will COUNT the number of times
certain field occurs in each interval. Note that some fields
may occur multiple times in each packet and if that is the case
then each instance will be counted independently and COUNT
will be greater than the number of packets.</p>
<p>MAX: available for all integer and relative time fields. This will calculate
the max seen integer/time value seen for the field during the interval.
Example: 'smb.time' which will plot the maximum SMB response time.</p>
<p>MIN: available for all integer and relative time fields. This will calculate
the min seen integer/time value seen for the field during the interval.
Example: 'smb.time' which will plot the minimum SMB response time.</p>
<p>AVG: available for all integer and relative time fields.This will
calculate the average seen integer/time value seen for the field during
the interval.  Example: 'smb.time' which will plot the average SMB
response time.</p>
<p>LOAD: available only for relative time fields (response times).</p>
<p>Example of advanced:
Display how NFS response time MAX/MIN/AVG changes over time:</p>
<p>Set first graph to:</p>
<pre>
   filter:nfs&amp;&amp;rpc.time
   Calc:MAX rpc.time</pre>
<p>Set second graph to</p>
<pre>
   filter:nfs&amp;&amp;rpc.time
   Calc:AVG rpc.time</pre>
<p>Set third graph to</p>
<pre>
   filter:nfs&amp;&amp;rpc.time
   Calc:MIN rpc.time</pre>
<p>Example of advanced:
Display how the average packet size from host a.b.c.d changes over time.</p>
<p>Set first graph to</p>
<pre>
   filter:ip.addr==a.b.c.d&amp;&amp;frame.pkt_len
   Calc:AVG frame.pkt_len</pre>
<p>LOAD:
The LOAD io-stat type is very different from anything you have ever seen
before! While the response times themselves as plotted by MIN,MAX,AVG are
indications on the Server load (which affects the Server response time),
the LOAD measurement measures the Client LOAD.
What this measures is how much workload the client generates,
i.e. how fast will the client issue new commands when the previous ones
completed.
i.e. the level of concurrency the client can maintain.
The higher the number, the more and faster is the client issuing new
commands. When the LOAD goes down, it may be due to client load making
the client slower in issuing new commands (there may be other reasons as
well, maybe the client just doesn't have any commands it wants to issue
right then).</p>
<p>Load is measured in concurrency/number of overlapping i/o and the value
1000 means there is a constant load of one i/o.</p>
<p>In each tick interval the amount of overlap is measured.
See the graph below containing three commands:
Below the graph are the LOAD values for each interval that would be calculated.</p>

if the specified filesize is reached. You can also select the appropriate
unit, but beware that the filesize has a maximum of 2 GB.
The check box is forced to be checked, as &quot;multiple files&quot; mode requires a
file size to be specified.</p>
<p>The <em>Next file every ... minute(s)</em> check box and fields lets
you specify that the switch to a next file should be done after the specified
time has elapsed, even if the specified capture size is not reached.</p>
<p>The <em>Ring buffer with ... files</em> field lets you specify the number
of files of a ring buffer. This feature will capture into to the first file
again, after the specified amount of files were used.</p>
<p>The <em>Stop capture after ... files</em> field lets you specify the number
of capture files used, until the capture is stopped.</p>
<p>The <em>Stop capture after ... packet(s)</em> check box and field let
you specify that Wireshark should stop capturing after having captured
some number of packets; if the check box is not checked, Wireshark will
not stop capturing at some fixed number of captured packets.</p>
<p>The <em>Stop capture after ... megabyte(s)</em> check box and field lets
you specify that Wireshark should stop capturing after the file to which
captured packets are being saved grows as large as or larger than some
specified number of megabytes. If the check box is not checked, Wireshark
will not stop capturing at some capture file size (although the operating
system on which Wireshark is running, or the available disk space, may still
limit the maximum size of a capture file). This option is disabled, if
&quot;multiple files&quot; mode is used,</p>
<p>The <em>Stop capture after ...  second(s)</em> check box and field let you
specify that Wireshark should stop capturing after it has been capturing
for some number of seconds; if the check box is not checked, Wireshark
will not stop capturing after some fixed time has elapsed.</p>
<p>The <em>Update list of packets in real time</em> check box lets you specify
whether the display should be updated as packets are captured and, if
you specify that, the <em>Automatic scrolling in live capture</em> check box
lets you specify the packet list pane should automatically scroll to
show the most recently captured packets as new packets arrive.</p>
<p>The <em>Enable MAC name resolution</em>, <em>Enable network name resolution</em> and
<em>Enable transport name resolution</em> check boxes let you specify whether
MAC addresses, network addresses, and transport-layer port numbers
should be translated to names.</p>

<dd>
<p>The <em>Plugins</em> page lets you view the dissector plugin modules
available on your system.</p>
<p>The <em>Plugins List</em> shows the name and version of each dissector plugin
module found on your system.</p>
<p>On Unix-compatible systems, the plugins are looked for in the following
directories: the <em class="file">lib/wireshark/plugins/$VERSION</em> directory under the
main installation directory (for example,
<em class="file">/usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/$VERSION</em>), and then
<em class="file">$HOME/.wireshark/plugins</em>.</p>
<p>On Windows systems, the plugins are looked for in the following
directories: <em class="file">plugins\$VERSION</em> directory under the main installation
directory (for example, <em class="file">C:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\$VERSION</em>),
and then <em class="file">%APPDATA%\Wireshark\plugins\$VERSION</em> (or, if %APPDATA% isn't
defined, <em class="file">%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Wireshark\plugins\$VERSION</em>).</p>
<p>$VERSION is the version number of the plugin interface, which
is typically the version number of Wireshark.  Note that a dissector
plugin module may support more than one protocol; there is not
necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between dissector plugin modules
and protocols.  Protocols supported by a dissector plugin module are
enabled and disabled using the <em>Edit:Protocols</em> dialog box, just as
protocols built into Wireshark are.</p>

<p>These files contains various <strong>Wireshark</strong> configuration settings.</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="preferences2" class="item">Preferences</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>The <em class="file">preferences</em> files contain global (system-wide) and personal
preference settings. If the system-wide preference file exists, it is
read first, overriding the default settings. If the personal preferences
file exists, it is read next, overriding any previous values. Note: If
the command line flag <strong>-o</strong> is used (possibly more than once), it will
in turn override values from the preferences files.</p>
<p>The preferences settings are in the form <em>prefname</em><strong>:</strong><em>value</em>,
one per line,
where <em>prefname</em> is the name of the preference
and <em>value</em> is the value to
which it should be set; white space is allowed between <strong>:</strong> and
<em>value</em>.  A preference setting can be continued on subsequent lines by
indenting the continuation lines with white space.  A <strong>#</strong> character
starts a comment that runs to the end of the line:</p>
<pre>
  # Vertical scrollbars should be on right side?
  # TRUE or FALSE (case-insensitive).
  gui.scrollbar_on_right: TRUE</pre>
<p>The global preferences file is looked for in the <em class="file">wireshark</em> directory
under the <em class="file">share</em> subdirectory of the main installation directory (for
example, <em class="file">/usr/local/share/wireshark/preferences</em>) on UNIX-compatible
systems, and in the main installation directory (for example,
<em class="file">C:\Program Files\Wireshark\preferences</em>) on Windows systems.</p>
<p>The personal preferences file is looked for in <em class="file">$HOME/.wireshark/preferences</em> on
UNIX-compatible systems and <em class="file">%APPDATA%\Wireshark\preferences</em> (or, if
%APPDATA% isn't defined, <em class="file">%USERPROFILE%\Application
Data\Wireshark\preferences</em>) on Windows systems.</p>
<p>Note: Whenever the preferences are saved by using the <em>Save</em> button
in the <em>Edit:Preferences</em> dialog box, your personal preferences file
will be overwritten with the new settings, destroying any comments and
unknown/obsolete settings that were in the file.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="recent" class="item">Recent</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>The <em class="file">recent</em> file contains personal settings (mostly GUI related) such
as the current <strong>Wireshark</strong> window size. The file is saved at program exit and
read in at program start automatically. Note: The command line flag <strong>-o</strong>
may be used to override settings from this file.</p>
<p>The settings in this file have the same format as in the <em class="file">preferences</em>
files, and the same directory as for the personal preferences file is
used.</p>
<p>Note: Whenever Wireshark is closed, your recent file
will be overwritten with the new settings, destroying any comments and
unknown/obsolete settings that were in the file.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="disabled" class="item">Disabled (Enabled) Protocols</a></strong></dt>

<p>The <em class="file">disabled_protos</em> files contain system-wide and personal lists of
protocols that have been disabled, so that their dissectors are never
called.  The files contain protocol names, one per line, where the
protocol name is the same name that would be used in a display filter
for the protocol:</p>
<pre>
  http
  tcp     # a comment</pre>
<p>If a protocol is listed in the global <em class="file">disabled_protos</em> file, it is not
displayed in the <em>Analyze:Enabled Protocols</em> dialog box, and so cannot
be enabled by the user.</p>
<p>The global <em class="file">disabled_protos</em> file uses the same directory as the global
preferences file.</p>
<p>The personal <em class="file">disabled_protos</em> file uses the same directory as the
personal preferences file.</p>
<p>Note: Whenever the disabled protocols list is saved by using the <em>Save</em>
button in the <em>Analyze:Enabled Protocols</em> dialog box, your personal
disabled protocols file will be overwritten with the new settings,
destroying any comments that were in the file.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="resolution" class="item">Name Resolution (hosts)</a></strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>If the personal <em class="file">hosts</em> file exists, it is
used to resolve IPv4 and IPv6 addresses before any other
attempts are made to resolve them.  The file has the standard <em class="file">hosts</em>
file syntax; each line contains one IP address and name, separated by
whitespace. The same directory as for the personal preferences file is used.</p>
<p>Capture filter name resolution is handled by libpcap on UNIX-compatible
systems and WinPCAP on Windows.  As such the Wireshark personal <em class="file">hosts</em> file
will not be consulted for capture filter name resolution.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Name Resolution (ethers)</strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>The <em class="file">ethers</em> files are consulted to correlate 6-byte hardware addresses to
names. First the personal <em class="file">ethers</em> file is tried and if an address is not
found there the global <em class="file">ethers</em> file is tried next.</p>
<p>Each line contains one hardware address and name, separated by
whitespace.  The digits of the hardware address are separated by colons
(:), dashes (-) or periods (.).  The same separator character must be
used consistently in an address. The following three lines are valid
lines of an <em class="file">ethers</em> file:</p>
<pre>
  ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff          Broadcast
  c0-00-ff-ff-ff-ff          TR_broadcast
  00.00.00.00.00.00          Zero_broadcast</pre>
<p>The global <em class="file">ethers</em> file is looked for in the <em class="file">/etc</em> directory on
UNIX-compatible systems, and in the main installation directory (for
example, <em class="file">C:\Program Files\Wireshark</em>) on Windows systems.</p>
<p>The personal <em class="file">ethers</em> file is looked for in the same directory as the personal
preferences file.</p>
<p>Capture filter name resolution is handled by libpcap on UNIX-compatible
systems and WinPCAP on Windows.  As such the Wireshark personal <em class="file">ethers</em> file
will not be consulted for capture filter name resolution.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Name Resolution (manuf)</strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>The <em class="file">manuf</em> file is used to match the 3-byte vendor portion of a 6-byte
hardware address with the manufacturer's name; it can also contain well-known
MAC addresses and address ranges specified with a netmask.  The format of the
file is the same as the <em class="file">ethers</em> files, except that entries such as:</p>
<pre>
  00:00:0C      Cisco</pre>
<p>can be provided, with the 3-byte OUI and the name for a vendor, and
entries such as:</p>
<pre>
  00-00-0C-07-AC/40     All-HSRP-routers</pre>
<p>can be specified, with a MAC address and a mask indicating how many bits
of the address must match. The above entry, for example, has 40
significant bits, or 5 bytes, and would match addresses from
00-00-0C-07-AC-00 through 00-00-0C-07-AC-FF. The mask need not be a
multiple of 8.</p>
<p>The <em class="file">manuf</em> file is looked for in the same directory as the global
preferences file.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Name Resolution (ipxnets)</strong></dt>

<dd>
<p>The <em class="file">ipxnets</em> files are used to correlate 4-byte IPX network numbers to
names. First the global <em class="file">ipxnets</em> file is tried and if that address is not
found there the personal one is tried next.</p>
<p>The format is the same as the <em class="file">ethers</em>
file, except that each address is four bytes instead of six.
Additionally, the address can be represented as a single hexadecimal
number, as is more common in the IPX world, rather than four hex octets.
For example, these four lines are valid lines of an <em class="file">ipxnets</em> file:</p>
<pre>
  C0.A8.2C.00              HR
  c0-a8-1c-00              CEO
  00:00:BE:EF              IT_Server1
  110f                     FileServer3</pre>
<p>The global <em class="file">ipxnets</em> file is looked for in the <em class="file">/etc</em> directory on
UNIX-compatible systems, and in the main installation directory (for
example, <em class="file">C:\Program Files\Wireshark</em>) on Windows systems.</p>
