Tool 19: Extract a range of packets from a record

Description:

  A record is a capture file. It contains several packets captured
  during a sniff. It can also be created by hand. There are 7 formats
  for records: pcap (tcpdump compatible), bin (binary, unreadable by
  humans but fast) and mixed/mixed_wrap/dump/hexa/hexa_wrap (easy to
  read and edit). A record also has an associated DLT (Data Link Type),
  indicating at which level a packet start: raw (start at IP header) and
  ether (start at Ethernet header) are the 2 most common DLT. Tool 13
  displays DLT of each device.
  
  This tool extracts a range of packets from one record, and save them
  in another record. For example, it can extract packet number 2 to
  number 5.
  
  Parameter --src-file indicates the input record filename.
  Parameter --dst-file indicates the output record filename.
  Parameter --recordencode defines how to encode data in this record
  (suggested values: bin, pcap and mixed_wrap).
