How do I see absolute time stamps in Wireshark?

Solution 1
(from comment)
A pcap file (from tcpdump or wireshark or AFAIK anything else using libpcap) already has absolute time; it's only the Wireshark display you need to adjust.
In the View
menu click Time Display Format
and choose one of the Time of Day
options.
Solution 2
tcpdump has its own timestump options for.
-t
Don't print a timestamp on each dump line.
-tt
Print the timestamp, as seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, UTC, and fractions of a second since that time, on each dump line.
-ttt
Print a delta (micro-second resolution) between current and previous line on each dump line.
-tttt
Print a timestamp, as hours, minutes, seconds, and fractions of a second since midnight, preceded by the date, on each dump line.
-ttttt
Print a delta (micro-second resolution) between current and first line on each dump line.
More info you can find at tcpdump manpage.

There is an example of
pcap
file opened inwireshark
The second column is time. Is it possible to see absolute timestamps here instead of relative?
