------- Comment #1 from guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx  2007-09-30 20:05 GMT -------
...thus opening the potential for endless debate about the layer to which a
particular protocol belongs, as per my comment on the Debian bug.

A UI to specify particular protocols that should be displayed as closed (or
possibly not displayed at all), along with protocols below it - and possibly
also to display layers below which protocols should be displayed as closed -
might be better.  For example, one might do

    tshark -V --close-at-and-below tcp

(assuming GNU-style options; getopt() doesn't support them, but getopt_long()
does, and is available in at least some of the BSDs as well as Linux; we could
include the glibc code on platforms that don't support getopt_long()).
