worked with the tcpdump folks on an updated set of examples for the tcpdump man page https://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/tcpdump.1.html#lbAF

the idea is that if you've forgotten how tcpdump's basic flags work, you can find a quick reference in the man page!

@b0rk cool! what's the process you usually go thru to get a change made like this?

@pg for tcpdump and dig I just made a pull request and made the corrections the maintainers asked for. The maintainers were great and it was really straightforward.

@b0rk great! a process working the way it ought to, refreshing. i suppose that 'older', more niche, or less in-the-spotlight projects may have less-frequent and higher-quality PRs, so the maintainer experience is more pleasant
