...and at least some other dump files it can read, as well.

(It can't export arbitrary capture files to other formats, as some
capture file formats can't represent the stuff in other capture files,
e.g. an ATM Sniffer capture file has ATM information that other capture
files can't necessarily store, and an "iptrace" capture file can have
packets of more than one link-layer type and most if not all other
capture file formats can't.)
