Yes.

It uses the same dissector modules as Ethereal, but it can:

	capture traffic and print to the standard output the dissected
	packets - either the summary line (like the first pane in
	Ethereal) or the detailed dissection (like the second pane in
	Ethereal);

	capture traffic and save it to a file;

	read a capture file and print to the standard output the
	dissected packets.
