capinfos:
* table format: -T
* comma as field seperator: -m
* machine readable units: -M
* print timestamps and average data rate
When called with a german locale capinfos uses a dot as decimal mark for
timestamps but a comma for data bit rate:
$ LANG=C ./capinfos 2009-m57.00.pcap -m -M -S -a -e -i -T
File name,Start time,End time,Data bit rate (bits/sec)
2009-m57.00.pcap,1258531203.914398,1258568304.881020,5227.22
$ LANG=de_DE.utf8 ./capinfos 2009-m57.00.pcap -m -M -S -a -e -i -T
File name,Start time,End time,Data bit rate (bits/sec)
2009-m57.00.pcap,1258531203.914398,1258568304.881020,5227,22
I see two problems:
1) The field separator can occur inside a field. I would at least update the
manpage to warn the user to use quoted output or a different field separator.
2) Parsing the output with different decimal marks causes extra work. Either
localize all fields or none.
