[ethereal-dev] command-line argument 'k'

[Gilbert Ramirez <gramirez@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone have any plans for the '-k' command-line argument?  It's
not listed in the getopt() call in main() (ethereal.c), but it *is* in
the switch statement that handles the getopt results. Some code exists
for it. Look at main_realize_cb() in ethereal.c.  It seems at one point
if you started ethereal with the '-k' option, and if you had a
save_file pre-defined in your .ethereal RC file, a capture would start
immediately.

But since it's not allowed by getopt() right now, I assume
no one is using it.  Does anyone have any opinion on it?
Should I remove it or make it work? If no one wants it I'll remove it.
