    <p><code>firehose</code> demultiplexes the given stream of multiplexed
    connections, and writes each connection to an individual file.</p>

    <p>When writing to files, each connection is placed into a dedicated file
    named after the UUID of the connection within the stream. Separate files
    will be created if requests and responses are found in the stream.</p>

    <p>If  an  optional  prefix  is specified as a parameter, connections that
    start with the given prefix will be included. The prefix needs to fit
    completely within the first fragment for a successful match to occur.</p>
