=head1 NAME
captype - Prints the types of capture files
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<captype>
E<lt>I<infile>E<gt>
I<...>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<Captype> is a program that opens one or more capture files and
prints the capture file type of each E<lt>I<infile>E<gt>.
B<Captype> is able to detect and read the same capture files that are
supported by B<Wireshark>.
The input files don't need a specific filename extension; the file
format and an optional gzip, zstd or lz4 compression will be automatically detected.
Near the beginning of the DESCRIPTION section of wireshark(1) or
L<https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/wireshark.html>
is a detailed description of the way B<Wireshark> handles this, which is
the same way B<Captype> handles this.
