Right. So what is the purpose of using both together, as in
http://bugs.ethereal.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=895 ?
Where in Ethereal bug 895 are they using both together? The command
they show has two "-b" flags, and a "-t" flag with "a" as the argument,
but no "-a" flag.
As for cases where one would use both of them, one might, for example,
want to capture traffic for 24 hours and store it in a series of files,
with each file being at most 10 megabytes.
