+# tshark (1)
+
+```text
+tshark [opts] -i <if>
+ --color Colorize output.
+ -w <file|-> Write pcap trace to file or stdout (-).
+ -r <file> Read & parse pcap file.
+ -f <filter> Apply capture filter (see pcap-filter(7) or tcpdump).
+ Only applicable during capturing.
+ -Y <filter> Apply display filter.
+ Only applicable during viewing capture.
+ -c <count> Stop capturing after COUNT packets (INF by default).
+```
+
+Some useful display filters.
+```text
+ip.addr != 192.168.1.0/24 Filter out whole ip subnet (source + destination).
+ip.dst == 192.168.1.42 Filter for destination ip address.
+tcp.dstport == 80 Filter for tcp destinatio port.
+!wg Filter out all wireguard traffic.
+
+tcp/udp/ssh/wg/... Filter for protocol.
+
+"and/or/not/!" and "()" can be used to build filter expressions.
+```
+> Use `tshak -G` to list all fields that can be used in display filters.
+
+# Examples
+
+## Capture and filter packet to file
+```bash
+# Capture TCP traffic with port 80 on interface eth0 to file.
+sudo tshark -i eht0 -f 'tcp and port 80' -w tx.pcap
+
+# View captured packets.
+sudo tshark -r tx.pcap
+
+# View captured packets and apply additionaly display filters.
+sudo tshark -r tx.pcap -Y 'ip.addr != 192.168.1.42'
+```
