The general convention in Wireshark-the-project (i.e., Wireshark, TShark, and dumpcap) is that if the "network interface" you specify isn't a network interface (i.e., an attempt to open it with libpcap fails), and it's a named pipe, it's opened as a pipe connected to a program writing a pcap (or pcap-ng?) capture file. I.e., in the GUI, you'd specify it by, for example, giving "/tmp/pipe" (or whatever the named pipe path is) as the name of the "network interface" from which to capture in the Capture Options dialog. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
