Hello,

I just found out that I don't understand what -R does.

If I run
tshark -2 -R "udp.port==53" -i wlan0
then it seems that I see all packets (arp, dns, lldp, ...)
if I instead run
tshark -2 -Y "udp.port==53" -i wlan0
I only see dns.
The manpage is not helpful either to explain what I am seeing
(snv HEAD / r54612)

Can someone please explain what is going on here?

Thanks
    Jörg
