The command "httpflow -r ${out-cap}" is used to run the program called "httpflow" with the option to read a pcap file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "httpflow" is the name of the program to be executed. It is a tool used for analyzing and capturing HTTP traffic.

  • "-r" is a flag or option that specifies that the program will read the input from a file.

  • "${out-cap}" is a placeholder variable that represents the name or path of the pcap file. The actual value of this variable needs to be provided before running the command.

Overall, the command instructs the "httpflow" program to read and analyze the HTTP traffic from a given pcap file specified by the "${out-cap}" variable.
