Editcap input/output files

Question

I'm trying to run editcap on a bunch of files in different folders, and I have no problems doing it using *. For example:

editcap captures/*/*.gzip

The problem is that when I also try to specify an output file, for example with:

editcap captures/*/*.gz ./outputFile

the outputFile is read as part of the input and I don't get any output.

Someone knows how to solve that problem? Thanks!

Answer 1

It's impossible, and what I wrote is partially wrong. Editcap is able to deal only with 1 input file at the time, as you can see in it's synopsis here: editcap man page.
