That fixed

        $ ./tshark -i en1 -f fribbbbbit
        Capturing on en1
        tshark: Invalid capture filter "fribbbbbit" for interface en1!

but

        $ ./tshark -i en1 fribbbbbit
        Capturing on en1
        tshark: Invalid capture filter "(null)" for interface en1!

is still broken.

(And, yes, that syntax *is* supposed to work:

$ nroff -man doc/tshark.1 | more

        ...

SYNOPSIS
       tshark [ −a <capture autostop condition> ] ...
       [ −b <capture ring buffer option>] ...  [ −B <capture buffer size> ]

                ...

       [ −X <eXtension option>] [ −y <capture link type> ] [ −z <statistics> ]
       [ <capture filter> ]

as it works in tcpdump and snoop.)
