[Windump] Why can I not use 'options'?? in WINDUMP. is thatreserved only for NON-WINDOWS platforms?

[Gianluca Varenni]

Hi.

You need to execute windump from a command line (Command Prompt), and pass 
the parameters from it.


e.g.

windump.exe -D  to list the adapters
windump.exe -i<interface_name or number> to capture from a specific 
interface and so on

Have a nice day
