>Description:
In the very beggining of tcpdump(1) it is said:
Tcpdump prints out the headers of packets on a network interface that
match the boolean expression. It can also be run with the -w flag,
which causes it to save the packet data to a file for later analysis,
and/or with the -b flag, which causes it to read from a saved packet
file rather than to read packets from a network interface. In all
cases, only packets that match expression will be processed by tcpdump.
Really packet dumps can be read with -r flag.
