+__mitmdump__ is the command-line companion to mitmproxy. It provides
+tcpdump-like functionality to let you view, record, and programmatically
+transform HTTP traffic. See the _--help_ flag output for complete
+documentation.
+
+
+
+# Examples
+
+
+## Saving traffic
+
+<pre class="terminal">
+> mitmdump -w outfile
+</pre>
+
+Start up mitmdump in proxy mode, and write all traffic to __outfile__.
+
+
+## Filtering saved traffic
+
+<pre class="terminal">
+> mitmdump -nr infile -w outfile "~m post"
+</pre>
+
+Start mitmdump without binding to the proxy port (_-n_), read all flows from
+infile, apply the specified filter expression (only match POSTs), and write to
+outfile.
+
+
+## Client replay
+
+<pre class="terminal">
+> mitmdump -nc outfile
+</pre>
+
+Start mitmdump without binding to the proxy port (_-n_), then replay all
+requests from outfile (_-c filename_). Flags combine in the obvious way, so
+you can replay requests from one file, and write the resulting flows to
+another:
+
+<pre class="terminal">
+> mitmdump -nc srcfile -w dstfile
+</pre>
+
+See the [Client-side Replay](@!urlTo("clientreplay.html")!@) section for more information.
+
+
+## Running a script
+
+<pre class="terminal">
+> mitmdump -s examples/add_header.py
+</pre>
+
+This runs the __add_header.py__ example script, which simply adds a new header
+to all responses.
+
+
+## Scripted data transformation
+
+<pre class="terminal">
+> mitmdump -ns examples/add_header.py -r srcfile -w dstfile
+</pre>
+
+This command loads flows from __srcfile__, transforms it according to the
+specified script, then writes it back to __dstfile__.
