Read-Filter Option

When I do something like:

wireshark.exe -k -i Ethernet -f udp -R dns
wireshark.exe -k -i Ethernet -f udp --read-filter dns

My assumption would be that it would start a new capture on Ethernet with a display filter of DNS. But I don't have any display filter selected in the display filter area when the capture loads up. Am I misunderstanding this option?
